An evangelical Christian who said he was forced to retire from his job as a general laborer at Consol Energy/Consolidation Coal Co.'s mining operations in Mannington, West Virginia, for his religious beliefs was awarded $150,000 in compensatory damages last Thursday by a federal jury.
Senior Judge Frederick P. Stamp Jr. is also expected to determine other compensation owed to the ex-employee, Beverly R. Butcher, at a later hearing, according to a report in The Exponent Telegram.
The U. S.

You use numbers for all financial transactions. Deposits, withdrawals, purchases, refunds, you name it. And you use scanners as well. A scanner reads the magnetic ink on deposit slips and checks. Items you purchase are scanned into the cash register. A scanner reads the strip on your credit card, as well as your debit card where you also enter a PIN number. Like I said, we're all doomed.
” Revelation talks about the number being in the “right hand or forehead”, in other words, the number is to be physically attached, written or embedded in some way into the body. That is why the strong opposition to the use of the biometric scanner. “
They were going to allow him to use the left hand ....
The dude better wear a mask. Most likely he is getting zapped by facial recognition software ...
ATM machines take a picture of your face and assign a number to that photo. Problem?
This case is just paving the way for the muslims to be able to hide their faces from security scanners.
Don’t name me SUE!
The dude was named Beverly. No wonder he is paranoid.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
You know what. Maybe so, but I am GLAD that he won.
Exactly.
In America we have a right to be nutjobs.
control and power that is the ultimate goal
That will keep me safe then.
For the time being.....

We need federal, state and local laws protecting Christians from the mark of the beast. Alternatives have to be available for Christians.
A high tech time card.
Was the Battle of Armageddon already fought and won? We’re in the Age of Aquarius? Where’s Jesus? What was the Mark of the Beast?
Perhaps it would look like The Holocaust?
If so, that could mean...
Uh...no. Bible clearly tells us there will not be alternatives for Christians.
How come the rest of the world doesn't have to have the Mark of the Beast?
Maybe they're just going straight to heaven?
How come just Americans have to risk going to hell?
Isn't that number converted into 'x's and '0's?
My point is that it isn't storing numbers, it's storing x and 0.
No, it converts it to 1's and 0's (binary code), which are still numbers. :-)
