Ministers threatened with arrest

[The Black Forrest]

Assaulting and steeling are not the only crimes. Then they find someone who is willing to marry them in their chapel. As a business it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.

Then they should be sued, threatened with jailtime is not acceptable. Sexual Orientation is in fact not covered by the laws disabling employers to be discriminating.

Pssst. That would be if somebody was applying for a job or worked there......

Again read the thread, they are not being threatened with jail time.

"Ministers threatened with arrest"
“Right now they are at risk of being prosecuted,”

The title is reactionary. Read the actual article.
Last time I checked, prosecution is not synonymous with threatening to give somebody jail time.

The area where that business is operating does in fact have that law.

Reading through title and reading the thread aren't the same thing.

If you are arrested, you do jailtime until your court session. (unless you purchase a bail)

Hitching Post has been around for 100 years. That's no reason to dissolve it.

It's their choice to close it. When it comes to the public good in the matters of a public business; there are rules to follow. Your Religious beliefs don't give you the ability to ignore them.

Whether it's for-profit or non-profit is irrelevant. It's a religious organization, and falls within its exemption.

That is not what is meant by jailtime.

Second line is in the thread.

That is not what is meant by jailtime.

It is in jail, is it not? The fact they should even have to go through that I find absurd.

Wrong.

That's not the definition of jailtime. Jailtime is time that you serve in jail or prison for a sentence given by a judge.

Actually no it does not, since they were not listed as a religious organization. The only time a religious business is a religious business legally is if the legally declare themselves to be one . As this business did not do so they were still subject to the laws of non-discrimination. The owners of a business being a certain religion does not excuse them from having to obey the law.

[Neutraligon]

No, jailtime is when a person has been found guilty and has been sentenced by a judge.

Right...

It's a public business. It isn't exempt.

I may have been mixed up, but like I said, the idea that they should have to go through that in the first place is ridiculous.

[Neutraligon]

Wrong.

Right...

Again that is not what is meant by jailtime.

No more so then any other crime. A person who has committed a crime and is being detained should not be surprised.

[Forzona]

Right...

Again that is not what is meant by jailtime.

I know, I was responding by my other post about how you do serve jail until your court date.

For something like this? I am pretty sure that EEOC spans over the entire nation, as another note.

The nature of there business is inherently religious. And what do you mean by listed as a religious organization?

No, specific states and local governments can make additional laws covering these things.

No it is not, weddings ceremonies are by no means religious, especially when at one point they were willing to offer ceremonies based on other religions. By that I mean they a registered as a religious organization. There is a store near me that sells religious paraphernalia, it too is still subject to the law, to do otherwise would be to endorse a religion.

[Dyakovo]

Wrong.

Right...

Yes, I know I am.
I've been arrested a couple of times and have never served jailtime.

There are government classifications of religious organizations. The Hitching Post was not on the government registry of religious organizations.
No, it's not inherently religious. Marriage is not religious, it's a legal act that happens to be commonly performed in a religious setting.

The type of marriage they perform is inherently religious.
