Ban on Marrying Outside of Organization
News surfaced in December 2008 about an Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Salvation Army captain (ordained minister) named Johnny Harsh being asked to resign due to his engagement to a woman who was not a member of The Salvation Army. In the United States, officers (ordained ministers) in The Salvation Army are only permitted to marry people who are officers or who are becoming officers. His case is up for review on December 11, 2008.
Opposition to hiring homosexuals
The Salvation Army in the U.S. has been the topic of some controversial discussions about discrimination against homosexuals in their hiring practices. According to lesbian/gay newsmagazine The Advocate, in 2001, the Bush administration was "willing to do whatever it takes to perpetuate, support, and defend discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals" in exchange for The Salvation Army's lobby support for Faith-Based Initiatives, in what the publication described as a "secret arrangement." The New York Times reported that the Salvation Army believed it had a firm commitment from the White House to issue a regulation that would override local antidiscrimination laws. A disclosure of The Salvation Army's request "outraged some civil rights groups and lawmakers," and resulted in an immediate reversal of a previous promise to honor the request. The Salvation Army maintains that they were "not trying to get permission to discriminate against hiring gays and lesbians for the majority of its roughly 55,000 jobs and merely wanted a federal regulation that made clear that the charity did not have to ordain sexually active gay ministers and did not have to provide medical benefits to the same-sex partners of employees."
The Salvation Army's position is that because it is a church, Section VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly guarantees its right to discriminate on the basis of its religious beliefs in its hiring. To reinforce its position, it threatened to close all soup kitchens in New York City when the city government proposed legislation that would require all organizations doing business with it to provide equal benefits to unmarried domestic partners.

by using fact maximum are Republicans as somebody else has pronounced. So why do Republicans experience this form? by using fact the secure practices of the rustic and their own households is greater important to them than the rights of a guy or woman plotting to kill individuals. maximum additionally experience that the be conscious torture is used too loosely. Making somebody uncomfortable isn't comparable to torturing them. If a terrorist is made uncomfortable for long sessions of time, and it saves harmless lives, that's a valuable concession to them. frequently, their line of questioning is that the harmless and their rights and secure practices trump the rights of individuals who might harm or kill the harmless.

It is a false church organization founded by a man named William Booth.
The one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, God the Son, Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, is the only true religion, outside of which no one can be saved.
"And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
It was a blessing for this individual to leave such a false organization. Hopefully he will find the one, true, Catholic Faith and Church; outside of which there is no salvation.

That's kind of hard to say. I understand they are prejudice, but they also do good things for other people. If you don't like them go to goodwill ;)

They didn't fire him, he quit. He moved out of his house because he was in company housing.
And I kinda doubt you've ever supported them anyway....
