Sodomites Line Up in N.J. to Register as Domestic Partners
MAPLEWOOD, N.J. -- Hundreds of sodomites gathered to register domestic partnerships on July 10, the first day of a new law in New Jersey that gives sodomites the same rights as married couples. More than 200 people attended a morning ceremony marking the law's going into effect. The domestic partnership law, passed in January, grants some legal rights to registered couples, including the ability to make medical decisions for each other. It allows partners to have some joint rights in filing state taxes, to be exempt from state inheritance taxes in the case of a partner's death and to extend the benefits given to state employees to domestic partners. New Jersey is the fifth state in the nation to officially recognize same-sex coupling, after Maine, California, Hawaii and Vermont.
New Jersey Guidelines for Domestic Partnership Registration
Couples looking to register as Domestic Partners in the state of New Jersey must be same sex couples at least 18 years of age or opposite sex couples who are both 62 years of age or older.
Couples must meet the following requirements:
1) Share a common residence in New Jersey or in any other jurisdiction provided that at least one of the applicants is a member of a New Jersey state-administered retirement system;
2) Both persons are jointly responsible for each other's common welfare as evidenced by joint financial arrangements or joint ownership of real or personal property;
3) Both persons agree to be jointly responsible for each other's basic living expenses during the domestic partnership;
4) Neither applicant is in a marriage recognized by New Jersey law or a member of another domestic partnership;
5) Neither person is related to the other by blood or affinity up to and including the fourth degree of consanguinity;
6) Both persons have chosen to share each other's lives in a committed relationship of mutual caring;
7) Neither applicant has terminated another domestic partnership within the last 180 days. (This prohibition shall not apply when the previous partnership ended with the death of the other partner.)
Sodomy Is A Crime
Governors, lawmakers, judges and city officials are not only anti-Christian by approving of sodomy, they make the civil government a vile cesspool from which the abominations vomit out across the land. By displaying such a contempt for the administration of Justice, such civil officials are not only the source of the defilement (Lev.18:24-25), they are the criminals (Rom.1:32), and a hostile enemy authorizing the destruction of the society in which we live (Jude 7).
