Whatever happened to....my body...my choice.

Mandate is assuming EVERYONE will have Covid....yet millions had it before the vaccines even came about.

I got handed one of these last week by my employer. It is not as invasive, but easily can be in the future. I threw it in the trash. Let them fire me, I won’t blink.

they gave her a form to complete, including a place for a pastor to sign off on it.

Uhmm, fill it out and have a pastor sign it?

Vaccine Religious Exemption Letter
by Michael Suede • October 26, 2021
Religious exemption letter:

This letter represents a formal request for a religious exemption from your mandated policy of vaccination. EEOC regulation, Federal code and US Supreme Court precedent do not require I submit my request for a religious exemption to a vaccine mandate using a pre-supplied form. Nor do they require I answer medical questions or questions of conscience beyond my stated deeply held religious beliefs.

I have a deeply held belief that my body is my own to decide what I put into it, and this belief is sacrosanct. The notion that I must submit to an injection of a substance against my will in order to continue doing a job I’ve been doing throughout this pandemic without incident is shocking to my conscience.

Forcing me to chose between my livelihood or to undergo what amounts to the legal definition of battery is ethically and morally repugnant. The violation of informed consent this mandate imposes is a matter of religious conscience; what the Nazi doctors did is morally wrong, spiritually offensive, and participating or partaking in such invasive, coerced medicine at any time offends the very core of my conscience.

Further, the use of aborted fetuses in either the development or production of these vaccines, or both, when my religious beliefs require that I respect all human life, including fetal life, and not knowingly profit from harm to fetal life, is greatly offensive to me.

I have forwarded a copy of this letter to my attorney [and union representative].

The letter should not be cut and paste. It should be tailored to her.

The LC template is good, but you cannot just cut and paste.

https://lc.org/exempt

They even advise you against such. She need to tailor it to HER beliefs.

Keep in mind the most common objections and rebuttals to those objections.

1. The abortion derived cell line testing. (Be prepared for the “Tylenol talking point.”) My answer to that talking point would be that there is a distinct difference between things that have their genesis and product development with abortion derived cell testing, and those products that were pre-existing (like Tylenol) that some person then decided to later test on abortion derived cells.

2. The code of life argument. Be careful that you don’t misstate science here. Don’t say things like “mRNA alters your DNA.” That’s not precise and isn’t what is happening. Instead, you might argue that mRNA manipulation and cellular manipulation on this level is something that belongs only to God and what God uses in nature. Man-made interference at this level is tantamount to playing God.

3. If you are a pre-tribulation Christian, you might argue from Revelation 13.

4. The Conscience/Faith argument.

5. The Kuyperian Sphere of Sovereignty argument.

Whatever she argues, it needs to be HER deeply held religious beliefs. Don’t just cut and paste what others have written.

My religion is “Science” and the EO mandate violates my deeply held religious belief in science and the scientific method by denying natural immunity.

Not familiar with the exemption form, however my nephew in Oregon public school employment, who is a legitimate practicing devout Christian, submitted their form and was granted Religious Exemption as routine, no difficulties.

What a pastor thinks is immaterial. Your religious rights pertain to your personal convictions, not those of any other person. No need for a “permission slip.”

One of my sons works for a large government contractor. He filed for religious exemption and it was granted.

They are making him provide a negative test every 72 hours even when working from home.

Insane hoops to jump through. He’s playing their game for a while.

- Read https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/section-12-religious-discrimination

- Also, forget ‘pastor signing off.’ The whole religious exemption is based on personal sincerely held beliefs, not ‘what the boss of my denomination says.’

- A claim of religious exemption should be based on those beliefs. Among the many reasons one might find *this* vaccine unacceptable include fetal cell use, proportionality of effectiveness, the coercion of the mandate itself.

- A sincerely held belief need not be 100% accurate — under no circumstances should one debate whether your belief is OK or not. That’s only a road for them to say you’re wrong and therefore denied.

- I have read of employers countering with lots of picky details about practice of faith (which should be responded to in the general, such as ‘I have been a practicing X since ‘date’’ and not how many times one goes to church, money, a record of volunteer efforts. Some have gone so far as to argue about other products that now or previously may have used fetal cells and ‘ask’ employees to affirm they don’t use those either. Only the Amish would pass that one, and this so-called-vaccine isn’t those other things.

In general, it’s about your faith, not what your paster, jedi master, Pope or guru thinks, and certainly not what an HR slug thinks.

Worst case, consider it an involuntary opportunity to witness.

For starters, I won’t submit an exemption request until the very last minute, whenever that is.

my exemption will defy the mandate as governmentally established religious cult/sacrament in violation of the 1st Amendment and the 1st Commandment.

From my RE submittal:

I believe that all human life is sacred and bears the image of God, ("So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27)

Consequently, I believe that the act of abortion is deeply immoral, and I cannot in good conscience receive any vaccine which uses, benefits from, is derived from, tested with, or is in any way connected to fetal cell lines.

For me, to receive a vaccine associated with fetal cell lines would be to endorse and turn a blind eye to what I believe to be a grave sin, going against the word of God. ("For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:13-14)

First things first, a Pastor doesn't have to sign off on it. Her sincerely held religious beliefs are her own, they are between her and God. Not her, her Pastor (if any) or God.

She does not need a Pastor's or Priests signature.

Second, even mentioning the jab or arguing against the safety of it is a disqualifier for religious exemption. Using that method is interpreted as "hiding behind" the religious exemption and not "genuine."

You don't apply or beg for a religious exemption you ASSERT it.

They have to accept religious exemptions. Make them DENY that in WRITING. Document everything. emails, conversations everthing

Such as
“I am asserting my right to a religious exemption with reasonable accommodations based on my sincerely held religious beliefs.”

or

“Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 I am formally asserting my rights to a religious exemption. (redacted) can either respect those rights or violate them in an act of religious discrimination.”

If they insist on firing make them walk you out. Document on film.

They are counting on compliance without a struggle. Make take pause. No guarantee's but its better to go out on your feet than being forced to take a experimental medical injection.

IN NY you are not required to get a pastors signature. If they tell you that just reply that only God is perfect and humans are all fallible. A priest or pastor has no say in your relationship with God.

Also all the approved vaxxes were tested on fetal stem cell lines and the J&J actually is made with the some of that DNA as a byproduct.

Good luck!

Why should a PASTOR have to sign off on one’s religious beliefs? What is this UNCONSTITUTIONAL garbage?
