VANITY - Need advice - Submitting a religious exemption claim against employer-mandated COVID vaccine?
8/6/2021 | Myself - VANITY

Posted on 08/06/2021 10:06:02 AM PDT by ObozoMustGo2012

Has anyone submitted to their employer a religious exemption declaration/request against a mandated COVID vaccination policy? How did you format it, and what info did you include?

My company is requiring any exemption documentation be submitted no later than Sept 13th.

Has anyone submitted one and been questioned?

When Yeshua was talking to Thomas and said "Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands.

Yeshua was nailed to the Cross through what we call the wrist, the "Y" shaped bone area behind the palm because if He was nailed through the hand, what we call the palm, the nails would have ripped out - paintings always depict the nails in the palm only because He said "look at My hands" etc.

So in Revelation when it talks about the mark of the Beast in hand or head, that whole arm is the hand.

Think about that!

Before you submit a false declaration to your employer, you should be clear about the ramifications of doing so. You are willing to lie, but are you ready to lose your job? If I were an employer, and someone lied to me to subvert my policies, then I could no longer trust them as an employee. I would also know that if employees knew they could subvert my policies without repercussion, my policies would be meaningless. Of course I wouldn’t make vaccination mandatory, but your employer has. Choose wisely.

Right. Crucifixions entailed nails in the wrists from what I’ve studied.

If you've ever followed the articles about the Shroud of Turin, the image on the Shroud has wounds in the wrist, not the palm; all the paintings, mosaics icons, ect, or that era and after always depict the wounds to the hand - palm. If the Shroud is some sort of fraud, then why the position of the wounds in the wrist and not the hands, they should have been in the palms/hands.

Interesting.

I will recommend you proceed with caution if you use the mentioned documents.

Those documents are a laundry list of objections. In other words it quotes number religious figures, the underpinnings of their religions, practical justifications, etc.

I would suggest you consider what YOU believe is a religious exemption that is pertinent to YOU, and refer to the documents as reference source as you write you request. Because ultimately what YOU believe is what your company will evaluate.

And I believe the “Practical Side” justifications are inappropriate to put in such an exemption request. If you put those in, you are then starting to argue policy and medical justifications. I don’t believe that will end well if included in a Religious Exemption request.

Just be aware that depending on a lot of factors your employer might just fire you and let you pursue remedies through the legal system if you wish.

If he files for a Religious Exemption?

I’d suggest reading as much as you can.

For filing a legitimate exemption, no. For filing one that is clearly false and intended to subvert a policy? Quite possibly. If someone is asking on an internet forum, the latter seems likely. Suddenly claiming you're a Seventh Day Adventist when you walk in every morning with Starbucks might seem a little off... If the request is legit, the easiest path is asking your employer what they need from you.

Even if they just get a rejection, trust has been destroyed, and that could impact future opportunity. As a leader and manager, a subordinate lying to me was a "career limiting move".

And the employer can ask for supporting documentation. Like a letter signed by your Pastor, Priest, Reverend and if they are not on board?

I don't believe employers will do that - it seems to me that puts an employer in the position of deciding religious matters, and in potential legal jeopardy.

Understand, thanks.

Asking on an Internet forum may provide good information not previously considered. But clearly, some of the advice given on threads of this nature has advised to not be truthful. Which is not good.

"...It’s a shame that Americans are left twisting in the wind, and have to fight this Satanic effort on a case-by-case basis..."

In my analysis, this is no accident.

The Federal Government knew that any Federal mandate would be unconstitutional, so they outright said (and recently, too) that they would be pushing private businesses to mandate this.

That way, no one case can go to the Supreme Court and get knocked down. "Privatizing" this gets around the Constitution process-wise, and results in a lot of separate, ineffective, poorly funded legal cases that will all be either narrowly won or narrowly lost.

Millions of Americans are going to have to succumb or not work in their profession.

I am one of them.

And lest you think that this is isolated, this is a new way Leftists look at governance. For example, the government cannot legally spy on and collect data on US citizens (we know they do it anyway) so they have decided to outsource that to private industry (FaceBook, Google, Twitter, etc) who have no such constraints on collecting any and all information, and the government will partner with them.

So, the FBI and DOJ won't be involved until later.

Yep - no point in tipping them off prior to the required date. Hubbie’s employer says to give it your best shot as there is NO APPEAL.

Watch Dr Ben Edwards on Stew Peters yesterday. he says religious exemption is best way to go.

Hubbie is looking for job anyway. the “young ones” are just brutal about “we already got ours - haha!” hostile environment!

yeah. same here. but theirs was voluntary. ours is being coerced. big difference.

yup agree. religious is probably the most potent way to go. cut and dried. and they can’t argue rationally against the Constitution’s 1st amendment.
