[livejournal.com profile] ebonypearl discusses how the government "helps the clergy prepare for disasters".  It makes very interesting reading.  Possibly the most disturbing part of the government's instructions to clergy is the following:

"They said it was appropriate that violence increase against women, and we were to use Scripture to support acceptance, [...]."

Let me get this straight:  Our government, or an agency thereof, is calling for violence against women?  Because that's what this excerpt appears to be saying.

Update (July 12):

[livejournal.com profile] beckyzoole followed the link (which I somehow missed) to the PDF of the document circulated at the seminar, and in her opinion, it appears to be a case of the poster being told one thing, but hearing something else entirely.  There may also be a factor in play of the poster hearing the seminar through a preconceived filter of "the Man is evil", or, as [livejournal.com profile] beckyzoole points out, of simply having a truly awful presenter for the seminar who made a complete hash of it.

OK, I evidently managed to miss the PDF link. So you're saying this is a case of the poster being told "rabbit" and hearing "the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on"?

It was a vicious rabbit! With fangs!
