Calm

It would be very easy to rationalize that since the victims were going to die even if you tried to do something, it would be better to live so you can protect those you can do something about…accept a little evil to do a lot of good.

It’s happening on both my ipad and phone, so am thinking it’s a board thing, but no one else is complaining about it. And it is horrendously slow, so thinking someone else would. Just wondering if I need to check my tech for a virus or something. added: it does come and go, it’s been bad all evening, but as soon as I posted this, it sped up, even editing, which often looks like it’s frozen

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/05/nx-s1-5424445/supreme-court-catholic-charities-wisconsin-unemployment-compensation Anyone with info on the case? It seems odd that religious groups don’t have to pay unemployment tax to me. Is the rationale no taxes at all can be required? Seems like religious groups could opt out of paying SS in general as well and not just as individual or organization conscientious objectors*** since the unemployment tax is for covering unemployment government benefits and I don’t see much difference with retirement benefits. Are there any safeguards included to ensure the employee gets enough income to pay for insurance for unemployment or retirement themselves if they want to? ***this info is from a quick search as I had no relevant knowledge on the subject. What, if anything, is absolutely required from religious organizations to the government money wise?

For those thinking or planning on attending this year, early bird pricing is good till May 1st (sorry for being a bit slow getting this up here, missed it completely last year iirc). We have gone back to two days to make it easier to attend, but have multiple tracks (if I understand correctly) to cover the large number of topics. I don’t have any other details yet…you may want to use social media as the more efficient way to track announcements. https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/conference https://www.facebook.com/fairlatterdaysaints/posts/pfbid02jbEZ5CfmoX56hZqSGaLVyxVQfq4FQEV4ZNhn25PyxXFrhTBsXPLNcHiRzKz5gjfGl https://www.instagram.com/valiantconference/p/C5pIh17xYcB/?img_index=1

Lights out for me, so dissection comes tomorrow…though thinking Smac and others will get there first.

Jury selection for the first trial has started. No cameras in court.
