Liberals take 'softer approach' on pledge to revoke charity status for pregnancy counselling

Trudeau had promised to 'no longer provide charity status to anti-abortion organizations' that offer 'dishonest counselling to women'

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/liberals-take-softer-approach-pledge-revoking-charity-status-pregnancy-counselling

"It specifically named what are known as crisis pregnancy centres, which operators say support vulnerable women, including by providing information about abortion alternatives, but that critics warn pose a risk because they are run by charities that oppose the procedure and can use deceptive tactics."

We all agree need truth in advertising, especially in medical areas for informed decision

But what's confusing about the process? Confusocracy?

Anti reality model--there is no confusion. People of the Lie, M Scott Peck.

8 takeaways

1. UBI caused people to work less and earn less

2. Less work was used for more leisure instead of productive activities

3. UBI increased periods of non-employment and did not improve quality of employment

4. Initial improvements in food security disappeared over time

5. UBI recipients reported significantly more disabilities

6. Recipients reported no increase in access to or utilization of health care

7. Benefits did not lead to lasting physical or mental health improvements

8. Additional cash didn’t improve personal finances

BY,Ch 32 If the poor had all the surplus property of the rich many of them would waste it on the lusts of the flesh, and destroy themselves in using it. For this reason the Lord does not require the rich to give all their substance to the poor. It is true that when the young man came to Jesus to know what he must do to be saved, he told him, finally, “sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me;” and a great many think that he told the young man to give away all that he had, but Jesus did not require any such thing, neither did he say so, but simply, “distribute to the poor”

"I gave up eternal life for coffee."

Model: feelings. Physical sensation of food, coffee, temperature, and caffeine jolt.

Created a new addiction she didn't previously have.

leave: tea, coffee, booze, garments. Not sure about tithing. Still decent people.

RMN: likewise. Let me be very clear about this: if the world loses the moral rectitude of its women, the world will never recover.

Church Critics

Two points about church critics.

First of all if you saw a movie you didn't like would you be all right to go on social media and talk about it? Or what about a restaurant? Or let's say a Jazzercise club or a yoga club or Dungeons and Dragons group?

Okay with the church be any different?

The second thing is reliving trauma, is that a healthy way to deal with it? Now it's backwards thinking and creates negative energy and focuses on problems rather than solutions. What's missing is forgiveness. People that leave the church you don't forgive the church or leaders. But also if you are a family member was swayed by Church critic, you forgive the church critics for doing it to them? Even atheist therapist will tell you to forgive
