Vaccination & Employment

[ZNP]

ZNP Real bad because a rival gang could kill him.And Bad because that's the use of cunning.but i'v seen exception in the bible.Paul got the Sadducees to fight the Pharisees using cunning to save himself.David pretended to be crazy and saved himself.but that lesser then grace

Well then the best option is to stand strong for the Lord, be a testimony and if they chop your head off hopefully the executioner will repent.

yea sometimes his ways are not are ways because we can only see the now, and through human eyes.But heaven is far better.One day in his courts is better then a thousand elsewhere.

As to be expected, they are also prohibiting and travel by sea, air, or rail for unvaccinated passengers. The land borders with the United States also remain closed. Really, it seems as though the only way out of the country is to privately charter a plane or ship. It would not surprise me if they also closed inter-provincial travel (i.e. travel between states).

Oh wow, that's insane! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though.

It gets worse. Soon you won't be able to cross state lines without vaccination passport.

I mainly read other people's posts on these forums and pray, I rarely post myself.

I work for the public service in Canada. In August, the government announced its intention to make COVID vaccination mandatory for all public servants, as well as federally regulated workplaces.

All public servants in my department who can do so have been working from home on a fulltime basis for over a year and a half now. When the COVID vaccine was introduced, I decided to avoid it mainly due to my own suspicions about it as well as a health problem that I have with significant bleeding and blood clots. I would have been off work for a protracted period if I had been in the office, but since I had work from home my career actually really took off with promotions and positive performance reviews. I know there is a public perception of government employees as lazy and entitled, but I work in benefit delivery services. I genuinely do my best to serve the public on a daily basis.

At the same time, I thought that the mandatory vaccination would not apply to workers who were working from home on a fulltime basis. Since I started my career six years ago, I have never seen a client in person - always over the telephone. Since I started working from home in April 2020, I have not seen a single colleague in a work environment.

Recently, the media found out that the government will insist that all employees receive the vaccine, even if they never step foot in an office. Their logic is that our homes are now government workplaces to be governed by Treasury Board mandates, just like their office. The penalty for refusal will be an indefinite unpaid suspension (i.e. essentially, you're fired until you get the vaccine).

I have complied with the mandates passed down thus far. I wore the mask, I stopped going to church for over a year, I stopped attending large social events for a long time. Originally our government said proof-of-vaccination would be "divisive" and unnecessary, but they changed their minds in less than a month.

I know people have different views on the efficacy of this vaccine, but it seems to me as though the government is crossing a distinct boundary - from public places to my own home, from public policy to my own body. Right now the mandates will apply to civil servants and federally regulated workplaces (which is a HUGE number of people here - includes all banks, trade, airlines, trains, internet/phone etc. and all associated companies), but it would not surprise me if individual provinces (think: states) introduced their own mandates.

The government is introducing this very quickly - likely by the end of the month. The speed at which this was implemented is ironic, since normally it would take years for something like this to come into effect. I'll probably be living in a camper by the winter. Fortunately I have no family to support.

We do not discuss the topic of vaccination in my church to avoid division within the congregation. The people I would normally seek advice from have actually left the country due to the way things are going. I don't really know what to do at this point - I pay for a house by myself, and there's simply no way I could afford to do so if I lose my job. Most properties around here are owned by foreign investors or retirees, and most jobs pay barely above minimum wage.

I don't really like the whole "woe-is-me" thing since I am the one who is refusing to comply, but if someone could keep me in their prayers, now is a time in life when I would appreciate guidance.

Hey Red Tory,
I read your post and just thought I'd reply with something that might be of encouragement.

1. You are more than your work! Your value is not dependent on your job. Try not think of yourself as less of a human if you lose this job. (I'm talking to myself as much as I'm talking to you here)

2. I admire what you're doing. Sticking to the no-vax despite this mandate and then suffering the consequences. It's not easy. It requires courage. And the fact that you can accurately see the situation you're in, and still do it?! You're awesome!

3. I'm pretty certain I'll be in that same boat with you in time. It's always nice to know that you're not alone. I think there's going to be a whole lot of us in the same situation. So just hold on! You're gonna have company soon!

4. Don't give up. Don't give in. I'll put you in my prayers tonight. Be strong my brother.

Not sure if this will be of any comfort , but about 4 years ago i was laid-off from my job of over 20 years with the same company. My yearly income was just over $60k , not hard work , had my own home, 2 vehicles, i was comfortable. But i was never "married" to my job , i was never a "career" person, was only doing it for the money , had no choice . I sold everything i had and am now living off my savings and trusting in the Lord for the future .
In Romans it says : "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

To this day in that video he will not talk about it.. ever. Seems he does not believe what he said back then. So looking at it as truth over the word is unwise. Its just what some man said he saw that he know does not believe. That being said.. sounds truthful but..

Was watching today something thats going on in Canada and the courts.. wow so just scary.

Just remember, when the police are bashing you around it is for your own good.
