But Miller added, "We've had our (employee) handbook out for many years and it does say if you live in an immoral way with a member of the opposite sex or same sex, you will be terminated."

What a jackass. I would not have gone to work there in the first place.

"They're already judging me for how I live my life and it wouldn't be the same," she said.

Technically, they aren't judging you. They are just following their handbook. God will judge you, though.

At 9.25 an hour finding a better paying job should be child's play. Why did she tell her employer that she was going to live with her boyfriend what business was it of theirs?

But Jack Van Valkenburgh, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Boise, said Skate Plaza might be violating federal discrimination laws.

If Skate Plaza is violating federal discrimination laws, there's something wrong with the federal discrimination laws.

Of course I already suspect this.

You have to be at least four inches to skate there?

Guess they got the right to be nutty kinda people if it's thier business, but I believe what you do on your own time is YOUR business as long as you do your job.

Soounds like she is a good young lady who has a weakness of moral fiber. If her "boyfriend" didn't have the hutzpah to talk her into marriage, she shouldn't be living with him, becuase chances are, he'll use her and drop her when something he thinks is nicer comes along.

Societal rules have evolved for a reason,in addition to being encoded in religious morality. God made the rules for your own protection and happiness , girl.

You messed up , big time.

It's pretty much out in the open, dear. Especially since you apparently took this to the press.

Oh well...play house and get burned like most. I just hope they don't have any kids and subject the innocent to this.

Could you imagine the deafening shrieking we'd hear if she was fired for moving in with her lesbian "girlfriend"?
The left would go absolutely bonkers and run with this story all the way around the block until they blamed it all on Bush!!

She knew the rules and chose to disobey. Oh well.

This will happen from the day you are born until the day you will die. Get used to it lady.

"They're already judging me for how I live my life and it wouldn't be the same," she said.

Guess she didn't judge that a handbook has meaning to all employees. If she didn't like it, she should of left right then. Her judgement must of been broken for some reason...

Now for the meat of my arguement... The "judge not" saying... Truth or wannabe truth by certain people?

"He who is spiritual judges all things" for "we have the mind of Christ" (1Cor. 2:15-16).

The notion that judgment is wrong is a ludicrous one. Should child-molesters escape condemnation? Should rapists be free from criticism? Should society refrain from judging those arrested for murder? Should we call evil good? Or would that be a judgment too?

To abhor evil, someone must first judge evil. God instructs men against "hypocrisy" commanding them to "abhor what is evil" (Rom. 12:9). Thus, unable to judge, and unaccustomed to abhorrence, Christians en masse become hypocrites when they obey the Hypocrites Golden Rule. For "judge not" (Mat. 7:1-5) is simply a hypocrites application of do unto others as you would have them do unto you (Mat. 7:12). "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged" (Mat. 7:2). Judge others as you would have them do unto you inverted is Judge not if you do not want to be judged. Therefore the hypocrite does not judge. As Jesus said, "Judge not… you hypocrite" (Mat. 7:1, 5 KJV; Ezek. 16:52).

Christ kept this theme throughout His ministry. "Hypocrites," Jesus said, "why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?" (Luke 12:56-57).

I love when people's main offense against Christians is the false "Judge Not" saying.

Jesus did say: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Mat. 7:1)? Jesus gave that teaching to hypocrites (Mat. 7:5) however. For He specifically commands His followers to judge:

"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." John 7:24

"Judge not" is the Hypocrites Golden Rule. For "judge not" (Mat. 7:1-5) is simply a hypocrites application of do unto others as you would have them do unto you (Mat. 7:12). "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged" (Mat. 7:2). Judge others as you would have them do unto you inverted is Judge not if you do not want to be judged. Therefore the hypocrite does not judge. As Jesus said, "Judge not… you hypocrite" (Mat. 7:1, 5 KJV; Ezek. 16:52).

Jesus warned against judging falsely or with hypocrisy. For immediately after saying "judge not," Jesus taught just how to judge correctly:

"And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?... Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye." Mat. 7:3, 5

Christ kept this theme throughout His ministry. "Hypocrites," Jesus said, "why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?"

The Bible does not say, "Hate the sin, love the sinner." It says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he"

The employer has the right to decide whether an employee's practices comport with company policy. If the employer wants workers to be non-smoking, to keep guns out of the workplace or to get married, that's the employer's prerogative. Those who don't like such conditions are always free to seek work elsewhere.

It's a private company with upfront employment requirements. Now, if she had started smoking, wouldn't she have been fired from many city, state, and private organizations?

Same thing.
