she cant sue
i know alot of employers make you sign something like that before you work there

false. Ive been involved in a settlement where we signed a sheet just like that lol. Employers have you sign those forms as a scare tactic because the average worker will not challenge it and think that they have signed over their legal rights. Our lawyer laughed at it. It holds very little weight in a settlement hearing. All you have to do is say you felt pressured to sign the sheet in order to keep your job...and thats it. Almost no employer will fight it because you can say the same thing in court and they cant prove you wrong. A small business owner might fight it because they simply dont have the money to settle out of a court. Larger companies will almost always just give in to avoid actually going to court.

whats the difference between a church and a small business?
unless the church is like on one of those tv specials on the christian channel
--- End quote ---
they are both acting as business entities which gives them the same liabilities.
daygo did you take business law?
QuietTruth:
I didn't know that either.
But if you're going to be 'employed' by a Church, I think certain thoughts should be kept in the back of your mind.
C-BLUE:
This just shows you how fucced up these ho ass christians are. I hope she wakes the fucc up and converts to devout atheism with a satanic twist. But I think the lesson to learn here is...don't date a jesus freak...unless your plan is to kill her maybe. Anyway..thats my 2 cents.
Sikotic™:
I'm disappointed in some of y'all.
If this happened to be a corporation and not a church, it would be unanimous among everybody to sue the fuck out of them and get as much money as they could. But its a church so it's okay to illegally fire someone? What the fuck is wrong with y'all?
A church is an organized ran and comprised of PEOPLE. See, this is my whole issue with organized religion: PEOPLE are running it. Can we all agree that PEOPLE are fuck-ups and always get shit wrong?
To all my Christian homies that posted in here, I pose these questions to you:
1) Would Jesus ask those kinds of questions to such a devout follower?
2) Does Jesus not love everyone, including those who do not follow him?
3) Would Jesus continue to take the money of someone who he thought wasn't a follower of his?
The fact that the church was even asking those types of personal questions is grounds for a harassment suit. And like Daygo said, it doesn't matter what kinda paperwork she may have signed to keep the Church's hands clean, there are some things that are illegal regardless such as firing an individual over their personal life.

If they was separate religions under Christianity faith, or even somethang other than Christian but still had faith in God..that's one issue.
But how could you make a relationship like this work? It's like good verse evil. Positive verse negative. Complete polar opposite. There's a big uncommon factor between them. Argue opposites attract, but damn, I'm sorry, how does that happen in a case like this?
^ That's all dealing with the relationship aspect of it. I mean what if they was to get married. Marriage just goes with the whole package of religion itself. I don't know. That's between them, how they make it work.
As far as the issue on her being fired...
I say fair becuz its the Church's beliefs. That's the whole point of following a denomination. I understand the situation and it is kinda messed up, but, it is what it is. It's the Church's beliefs. And you wanna practice it..

Now aren't you being a little judgmental with the woman's personal life, homie? And then you go as far as to compare their relationship as good vs. evil? LOL that's messed up.
