Thanks for responding Irene. I am well aware of how #Humanist aka #Atheist dominated #UnitarianUniversalist 'Welcoming Congregations' can be 'less than welcoming' to #pagans, to say nothing of #LiberalChristians and other God believing people.

American U*Us have protested outside ICE detention centers.

U*Us are nothing if not "performative". . .

FYI I did not obey in advance when American U*Us threatened me with prosecution for violating Canada's #BlasphemyLaw for blogging about #UUpedophiles & #UUrapists.

In terms of the principles & "values" Unitarian Universalism claims for itself & "promotes", #UUism is an eminently "reasonable" religion, but the #hypocrisy I & many other people have encountered is truly outrageous. What I brought to your attention is just #TheTipOfTheIceberg.

And Unitarian Universalists wonder why less than 150K adult Americans choose to join "less than welcoming" UUA "Welcoming Congregations".

Classism & elitism are another problem in the "upper middle-class" #UU "church".

If you are low income you may be UNwelcome.

In 2010, the Unitarian Universalist Association signed onto an #AmicusBrief stating that all #BlasphemyLaws are #UNconstitutional.

In 2012, the #UUA accused me of violating Canada's #BlasphemyLaw.

UUA Misuse Of Canada's Blasphemy Law By Falsely Accusing Me Of The Crime Of Blasphemous Libel Certainly Nurtured MY Spirit, But What If Anything Did It Do To Help Heal The UU World?

The following question should be asked:

Why did the #UnitarianUniversalist Common Endowment Fund of the Unitarian Universalist Association invest in "two notorious private prison companies" i.e. #$GEO & #$CWX in the first place?

Full text of letter:

Dear George C. Zoley CEO and Jeb Bachmann EVP, Corporate Relations,
I am writing on behalf of the Unitarian Universalist Common Endowment
Fund (UUCEF) to inform you of our decision to divest our holdings in The
GEO Group.
This decision follows extensive review and deliberation across our
Investment Committee, and the broader Unitarian Universalist
community. As a faith-based institutional investor, we are guided by
principles of justice and respect for human dignity. After careful
consideration, we have concluded that The GEO Group’s core business—
deriving revenue from the ownership and operation of incarceration and
detention facilities—is fundamentally incompatible with these
principles.
Our concern is not limited to governance practices or operational issues.
Rather, it is rooted in the essential nature of the business itself. A model
that depends on the expansion and profitability of incarceration raises
profound moral concerns for our community, particularly given the well-
documented and disproportionate impacts of the carceral system on
marginalized populations. In this context, we do not believe that
shareholder advocacy is an appropriate or credible mechanism for
addressing these concerns.
Historically, UUCEF has maintained certain holdings for the purpose of
engagement. In this instance, however, we have determined that
continued ownership—even under an advocacy framework—represents
participation in, and financial support of, a business model we cannot
reconcile with our values. Absent a fundamental transformation of that
model, there is no pathway for alignment.
This action reflects our responsibility to maintain integrity and
consistency between our stated values and our investment practices. We
recognize that these issues are complex and involve many stakeholders,
but our conclusion is clear.
Sincerely,
Mathew Jensen, CFA
Senior Investment Officer, UUA Investment Office
Unitarian Universalist Common Endowment Fund

#UnitarianUniversalists act like they’re better than everyone else, and morally superior, while covering up filth and #SexualAbuse that includes "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape".

As someone who displays the #Canadian flag in your Bluesky profile, I thought it might interest you to know that the #UnitarianUniversalist "church" misused Canada's #BlasphemyLaw in #ChildSexAbuse cover-up #LegalBullying.

I'm quite happy to enlighten individual people about #UUhypocrisy.

#UnitarianUniversalist boomers r hilarious.

They had me served with a #ceaeANDdesist demand letter accusing my of #SexualHarassment of Rev. Kelly Murphy Mason for using the colloquialism "sucks and blows at the same time" to describe her #UUhypocrisy. 🤣😇

Atheist #UUAleaders found their path to accusing me of #BlasphemousLibel for blogging about "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" committed by pedophile*rapist #UUAclergy in June 2012.

Yes, I sometimes wonder how many victims of #UnitarianUniversalist #ClergyAbuse, &or non-victim #whistleblowers & critics, have been intimidated into silence by #UUA #LegalBullying, or the #bullying & intimidation tactics of implicated #UU congregations & individual #UUAclergy.

I'm raising awareness to not only Unitarian Universalist #ClergyMisconduct aka #ClergyAbuse, but decades worth of #UUA mishandling, minimization, cover-up & denial thereof. The #UUA as an institution, & most #UUAleaders & #UUAclergy have little or no #CommonDecency in these matters.

I hereby invite Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt to dabble in the #UUtheology that resulted in, & from. . . the #UUA accusing me of #BlasphemousLibel:

Possibly, but I wouldn't count on it. . .

The #UnitarianUniversalist Association aka #UUA is guilty of some VERY #UNethical behavior, including some highly questionable #FinancialShenanigans.

It's quite possible the UUA knowingly invested in these private prison corporations.

Well you got sucked into #UnitarianUniversalism unless it was foisted on you by your parents as a child. . .

On paper & "in principle" #UUism looks great.

In practice it's another story thanks to bucket loads of #UUhypocrisy.

It's not surprising fewer than 200K #Americans choose to be U*Us.
