This is what happens when you bring new people into the club

Not quite sure he was entirely an outsider...

Was a part of the external review so probably considered part of the inner circle by then end.

Except I would say that more and more, religious institutions ARE becoming more inclusive even if they don’t necessarily condone the activities of its participants. Whereas other organisations are becoming exclusive of the religious.

Which may be justice in many ways for past sins of religious organisations - the shoe is on the other foot - but two wrongs don’t make a right either

No, no exceptions .

As for your generalisation about religion becoming more inclusive that is laughable.

 

[PhatBoy]

If you need a supposed god to get you to be generous that says a lot about you. Why not be generous without the church and do it by default?

So you’re trying to make rules about who can and can’t be generous? True Christians subscribe to a theology and world view that they should help people who need it.

You’re trying to tell them that they should only do this under rules that YOU deem correct. Right.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

To you it is.

In a sense everything is made up. Who made up numbers?

Given none of my posts have shown any outrage I'm dubbing thee Sir Shitake. Arise Sir Knight!

You just stated you have an issue with gay people expressing their homosexuality. I stated that’s bullshit as it’s people like you literally looking for any reason to drag them down. You’ve just gone off on a tangent.

You’re a mess.

 

[Saucery]

I guess now Scotty from marketing is gone the righteous are no longer in favour.

Josh Frydenberg

Joe Hockey?

 

[RandB]

Correct

Anyone who changes their club must be viewed as having nil integrity

Bombers aim to be integrity neutral by 2050.

You have to think Essendon's new 'president''s tenure has to be almost untenable at this point as well.

Absolute rabble of a club (off field)

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Why are you always defending homophobes and racists?

Mate im not defending homophobes or racists. If you knew my background you would know ive experienced a lot of both in my family and i abhor it.
But that doesnt mean one needs to be a hypocrite there are ways to oppose whats wrong without behaving in a wrong manner as a hypocrite yourself.
But you obviously dont see or are unwilling to see that.

 

[projectv]

Essendon board makes for hilarious reasoning. "great we have an outstanding CEO who was awesome at his last job, sure there's that rumour about him being a cult leader, but we signed him so we love him"

Replace a few of those words and you've summed up the North board also.

Tommy goes bang.

Owned by Tom Browne, probably the most embarrassing moment of this whole saga.

That's the approach I take when reading your posts

 

[Slats]

I wonder if Kevin Sheedy will vote for James Hird to become Essendon CEO.

 

[Red Bull]

I mean, he was the bloke running the external review, nek minnit hired as CEO. The whole thing stank from go to whoa.

At least we've made the right move here and it doesn't really effect how we're viewed, as we're already seen rightly as a rabble

Essendon is deeply affiliated with the LNP, much like St Kilda and West Coast. But WC are blue bloods or Turnbull types. Small "l" libs.

Essendon seem to be more the vampire lord, reactionary types. The freaks who have captured the Liberal party in Vic.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Oh boy, the Bombers are the club that just keep on giving.....

No, you just made that shit up.

You're projecting.

 

[HairyO]

So Barham needs to go his made a mess of all of this

Sheedy takes over, sacks the CEO and coach, brings in Hird.

 

[juss]

I don't know anything about his church, nor their beliefs, and had never even heard the name before just reading it on Bigfooty.

Just read he has already resigned.

Far out, what an absolute mess of a club. Going nowhere. Rutten dodged a massive bullet by being sacked from that shithole and coming back to the Tiges.

Sir Shiitake sounds like a fun guy

Very tasty.

People will have forgotten about it in two or three generations.

A quicker turn around then a UK mini budget
