its the cases that john west rejects that make john west the bestEmphasis on "John West QC"
The reason he was there was because they had to ensure that it was a legal breach. John West is a very good barrister. If he says it's solid then it's solid. Folau won't have a leg to stand on.
I think it's the other way around. Rugby Australia were forced to act because people were cancelling their memberships and threatening to boycott the game.This is just the beginning... In a way it's good because it will draw a line in the sand for for all people who struggle to see where religious freedom ends.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Israel was foolish in the the way he went about getting biblical views across, BUT I would also say Raelene is just as foolish (if not more) in the way she has decided to drag this through the spotlight.
The damage this is doing to Rugby Australia is unfathomable, and that is due not to what Israel has said, but completely by the way RA has handled this saga.
Ironically, the very same thing they accuse Folau of (intentionally brining the game into disrepute via media - be it social or not) is the exact thing RA is currently doing in their public persue of Folau.
Castle is a fool and RA is her fiddle.
But if they don't inherit the kingdom of God then ultimately they will burn ? According to scripture all sinners will purge in the lake of fire.. soooo its still from the Bible.Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
THAT is a direct quote.....at least so far as I can ascertain. What Folau shared was not. I don't get what is so hard to understand here. Quotes should be taken verbatim and this passage references the kingdom of God....it makes no mention of Hell at all.
No doubt they felt they had to do something... But would you say they have handled it with wisdom?I think it's the other way around. Rugby Australia were forced to act because people were cancelling their memberships and threatening to boycott the game.
I've heard he is. My uncle is as strong a South Sydney support as you get (so is Alan Jones). Apparently, Jones has a poster of Tricky Trindall in his office. I'm not bullshitting, this is a fact.Alan Jones isn't gay.
But his boyfriends are.Alan Jones isn't gay.
That's right. The best thing Castle could've done is just leave him be. He has Christian views, and he is NOT hurting anyone. If some idiot at QANTAS was offended, she can simply make him ineligible to represent the Wallabies - who QANTAS sponsor.This is just the beginning... In a way it's good because it will draw a line in the sand for for all people who struggle to see where religious freedom ends.

Nope. They were pretty messy about it. They tried to take action in a way that would tell the fans they are doing what the fans want, but that meant that they were going to get equal backlash from the other fans.No doubt they felt they had to do something... But would you say they have handled it with wisdom?
The gay rumour started 'cause one of his friends is gay and someone accused him of supporting his friend 'cause he was in a gay relationship with him. The rumour was quickly put to bed but... you never know.I've heard he is. My uncle is as strong a South Sydney support as you get (so is Alan Jones). Apparently, Jones has a poster of Tricky Trindall in his office. I'm not bullshitting, this is a fact.
Hacky please don’t get me started on this track..phew!Alan Jones isn't gay.
Agreed, that was my original point.... Folau was foolish in his actions, but RA even more foolish in the way they have gone about dealing with him.Nope. They were pretty messy about it. They tried to take action in a way that would tell the fans they are doing what the fans want, but that meant that they were going to get equal backlash from the other fans.
On the other side of the coin though, they say no exposure is bad exposure. It has people talking about Rugby again.
I’m not quite sure about Jones and Tricky being more than friends..but I do know he’s got him out of a few nasty situations..that was of Trindall’s own making..I've heard he is. My uncle is as strong a South Sydney support as you get (so is Alan Jones). Apparently, Jones has a poster of Tricky Trindall in his office. I'm not bullshitting, this is a fact.
Hacky..no..I have seen things with my own eyes..and from others..and I’m not confirming his gay whatsoever..it’s more complex than that..The gay rumour started 'cause one of his friends is gay and someone accused him of supporting his friend 'cause he was in a gay relationship with him. The rumour was quickly put to bed but... you never know.
The point - Your head_But if they don't inherit the kingdom of God then ultimately they will burn ? According to scripture all sinners will purge in the lake of fire.. soooo its still from the Bible.
What youy're essentially trying to say is he's a little bit Mr Garrison? :PHacky..no..I have seen things with my own eyes..and from others..and I’m not confirming his gay whatsoever..it’s more complex than that..
Couldn't happen to a nicer passive aggressive idiot!He may find it difficult.
Israel Folau labelled 'a moron' by Toulon rugby boss as French option aired

Lol..perhaps without Mr Hat..and no Mr Slave..What youy're essentially trying to say is he's a little bit Mr Garrison? :P
LOL lets be real here.. and I do agree somewhat that the message doesn't come across nicely but even if he did talk purely about inheriting the kingdom of God - many will still be triggered by it and report it as offensive and oppressive towards the LGBT community.The point - Your head_
A quote is a quote, dude....what Folau shared was NOT a bible quote. Talk about inheriting the kingdom of God (or not) is a lot less inflammatory than threatening someone with Hellfire (if you'll excuse the pun). Tone matters.....and if you're trying to convince someone to follow what you see as a righteous path, talk of what they will receive by doing so is a lot more persuasive than talk about the punishment that will be received if they don't.....maybe that's why the passage was phrased the way it was. Who is Folau or anyone else to change that?
