Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Sheri, Here's the hundred dollar revision to my original response to the three questions on the new religious exemption form. I feel more like they were three riddles... like from the Pucini Opera " Turandot " . Death to us all if we don't answer each one correctly. Doug asked me to answer the questions honestly and took my words and beliefs and made them safe (I can only hope). This definately represents the truth and is very concise as my original answers were. Weiner is an attorney, but clearly states he is not acting as one. He and his wife provide advice from their personal experience with religious exemption....Anita Very nicely stated. Please note the recommendations I've made, which emphasize Divine guidance rather than moral in the event a school official attempts to distinguish, and deny. Please let me know if you have any questions. 1. Explain in your own words why you are requesting this religious exemption. I am requesting a religious exemption from mandatory vaccination for my son, Henry Durney, because injecting man made vaccines into my God given child goes against my religious beliefs. 3.Describe the religious principles that guide your objection to immunization. I believe that God gives us His intrinsic ability to launch a defense against illnesses. My trust in God prevents me from accepting vaccinations. 3. Indicate whether you are opposed to all immunizations, and if not, the religious basis that prohibits particular immunizations. For these reasons, I am opposed to all innoculations. --------------------------------- Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Whewwwwwww Good luck is all I can say I have no idea and I'm sure Doug knows more At least you have help if they don't like it.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 OK - thanks. By the way, page two (for office use only) states: To the building Principal: If, after review of the parental statement, questions remain about the existence of a sincerely held religious belief, Department of Health regulations [10 NYCRR, Section 66-1.3(d)] permits the principal to request supporting documents. Some examples are included. To answer an earlier question, that is how he was given the right to be judge and jury.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Here it is word for word: *A letter from an authorized representative of the church, temple, rel institution, etc, attended by the parnt/guargian that prohibit immunization (Note: Parent/Guardians need not necessarily be a member of an organized religion or religious institution to obtain a religious exemption); *Other writings or sources upon which the parent/guardian relied in formulating religious beliefs that prohibit immuniztion; *A copy of and parental/guardian statements to healthcar providers or school district officials in a direct or prior residence explaining the religious basis for refusing immunizations; *Any documents or other information the parent/guardian may be willing to provide that reflect a sincerely held religious objection to immunization (for example: disclosure of whether parent/guardain or other children have been immunized, parent/guardian's current position on allowing himself or herself or his or her children to receive or refuse other kinds of medical treatment.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 My concern for this is who actually determines if your religious reasons are good enough? In my case, I really do believe that God is leading me away from vaccines. Why? It's rather lengthy but when you start telling someone your faith stories they tend to roll their eyes at you and think you're a nut job. So what place does this sort of argument have in a court of law? I can see us standing their before a judge saying, " Well, sir, you see I think God is telling me in my heart and gut that I should no longer be injecting toxins into my child's body " . Yeah - I can see that going over like a lead balloon. Yet it's what I truly believe. I've talked about it with my pastor and she knows how I feel, but how is that going to make me more credible with the legal powers that be? Our religion has nothing written or even spoken that admonishes vaccinations. So where does that leave me? While I'm glad that I can honestly use a religious waiver (for the time being) I think it does not jive in a system where we're supposed to have a separation of church and state. And I don't want to open up the religion discussion here - just saying that if this is our only legal ground on which we can stand, it's pretty flimsy if anyone really pushes it.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 BLF asks the real question. What about " informed consent " and the right to make medical decisions for our own children? Those words mean very little if vaccinations are being forced. Maybe we could have enjoyed real consent and choice if every one who opted out had good reasons for doing so whether religious or otherwise. We know this is not the case for too many consequently giving power to the " greater good " theory....Anita " Sheri B.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 yeah, becoming an ordained minister does sound like it may be a bit helpful.i'm not saying it would be very helpful, because most likely these people will still try to fry you even if you are a minister, but i guess it could help when you have exhausted most other options. I think i am interested in finding out how to become an ordained minister.How do you become one? question: but wouldn't they still deny you unless you were a minister for the Christian Science Church?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I am not a NY resident, but I'll share what I was told about religious exemption forms in general. From what I was told, you do NOT have to be a part of the Christian Science church for the religious exemption. You can technically be a part of ANY religion and still go w/ religious exemption. The reason is that our gvt. does not/nor will it identify any ONE religion as the true religion. So the gvt (aka those accepting the forms, etc) can not deny you your religion, because they separate themselves from identifying one specific religion. Make sense? It made sense to me. I hope that is correct. Please let me know if the truth is otherwise. -Sharon m p <zaynetp@...> wrote: yeah, becoming an ordained minister does sound like it may be a bit helpful.i'm not saying it would be very helpful, because most likely these people will still try to fry you even if you are a minister, but i guess it could help when you have exhausted most other options.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I am in NY and the superintendent called me to ask what my religion was, which is none of his business, I asked him what his was and ALL the employees were in the school. He replied that the school lawyer said he had to find out if it was " a 'paper religion' like the Christian Science Religion " . Since I had a definition of " religion " from Blacks Law Dictionary IN my exemption letter, I read it to him again and said it is the " " religion and he said ok to that. Weird!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks, Sheri. I'm curious- I know states only have to allow one of three exemptions. For those that DO allow religious exemptions, how can they legally require you to belong to a specific religion to qualify? Doesn't the separation of Church/state issue prevent them from doing that? And would you happen to know a site which lists which states require a certain religion? We just moved to Ohio and I know they allow all 3 exemptions, but I did not know that about the religious exemption. Thanks again!
