I decided not to go. My hiking club is touring a newly opened temple In N.J.

The building was completed in the summer and opened for tours in October. --- supposed to be a beautiful structure.

Problem is, it was build by labor that was exploited. N.J. Dept. of Labor sued the religious organization for mega $$$ on behalf of their employees who were underpaid. The practice of exploiting a part of their society is accepted as part of their religions belief.

Similar exploitation is/was practiced in California and the California legislature passed legislation to prohibit exploitation and discrimination against persons, based on color, creed and so forth. The leaders of the religion have sued the state, claiming the legislation discriminates against their religious belief that justifies discrimination against a certain class of people..

I'm not going on the tour. 


Good for you!  Wrong is wrong and this one is obvious!!!

Shame on the hiking club!
