Jesus can't be boss
http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article812661.ece


Norway's Labor Inspection Authority has blasted work conditions at the private Christian fundamentalist Skjærgård's School. The Authority was particularly put out by the organization's listing of Jesus Christ as executive manager, newspaper VG reports.

The strict Christian organization has come under media scrutiny several times, including much criticism of Skjægård's pastor Glenn Rasmussen.

Educational authorities have clashed with the school, which turned out to feature classes in speaking in tongues beginning with second graders. Skjærgård's School receives 85 percent of its running costs from the state but has been under fire from a variety of authorities that find it hard to determine whether they are dealing with a congregation or a school.

1. Wow...
"Employees were expected to give 10 percent of their wages to the group, and until the LIA visit reports Agderposten, they were also bound to speak well of the pastor, who was subordinate to no one but Jesus Christ.

The hubris is mind boggling.

:crazy:

2. Hmmm kinda reminds me of *....
"...they were bound to speak well of the pastor, who was subordinate to no one but Jesus Christ."

And don't we give more than ten percent with penalty of jail/fines, etc.?
