Please explain further…is there nothing to stop NEW Rutherford County DSS employees from investigating WOFF as far as legal ramifications, is that right? -Look forward to your next post on this issue…thank you for all of your wonderful insights on WOFF — FROM YOUR POST ABOVE: “In my opinion, this first part of #14 is the root of the overwhelming fear of and RCDSS official or worker as well as any other governmental agency to which this doctrine of WOFF has been preached. If we only read this part, we would have to say the case for the review of this document is pretty slim. However, we will give the second part of the paragraph and outline my contentions for the basis for a judicial review of this compromise – Settlement Agreement.

“RCDSS maintains that it may investigate allegations concerning WFF religious practices of strong or blasting prayer, or discipleship, pursuant to the terms of this Settlement Agreement.”(emphasis added)

So, there is a ray of light that RCDSS may still investigate allegations concerning WOFF practice of strong or blasting prayer. This is hopeful for one main reason, since the affirmation and acceptance of this document- the internal dynamics of “strong or blasting prayer” have grown to include hitting, slapping and in some cases punching the one receiving the prayer. I sincerely believe that any reasonable judicial body would find that conduct as not considered safe or allowable as a protected religious practice. What do you think? The rules of engagement, as I will call them outlined in the rest of the document for the most part are so impractical- it is laughable. I can say with a high degree of assuredness that the attorneys involved in the hammering out of this compromise did not foresee the changes in what now constitutes strong or blasting prayer and for sure had not lived inside WOFF and become familiar with the dangers of life in that group. So again, what was intended as a cure has in practice become the disease. We will discuss what can be done to reverse this in a future post.”
