a religious sect under investigation by FBI for sexual abuse.

I'm assuming this means he is a practicing member, or alt least once was?
I'm a bit surprised he is involved in politics if so. It's typically prohibited to be involved in politics in these christian fundamentalist groups.
(One exception was the exclusive brethren with their pamphlet campaign in 2005, despite them not allowed to vote.)
It most certainly is prohibited with the Jehovah's witnesses, and this cult shares many similarities.

  New gene technology bill is concerning

I think they secretly support it because they want to use genetic engineering to save the climate.

Yet we are still planning to send 21 billion dollars overseas due to the Paris agreement.
This whole thing is a scam and the global elites will be laughing.

Good thing that Trump pulled out of it, the rest of the world will probably follow suit hopefully

  The Treaty principles bill should not proceed
Posted by: Lilith7 - 04-04-2025, 02:36 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

According to Parliament's justice committee 90% of those making submissions say it should never have been submitted & don't want it to proceed.
I hope that's an end to it.
