Popular Post benjaminterrett Posted August 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm surprised to see that the court ruling regarding Grace International School losing their fight to keep their school hasn't been reported here. Unfortunately it seems that even with the supportive backing of higher authorities they have been unable to keep usage of the former World Club moobahn clubhouse buildings as their school premises. Instead it will be returned to the neighbourhood association. This is a real shame as the school provides an excellent discount priced education for many needy blonde pale skinned American missionary children; and Korean missionary children too. They also offer full priced education for some Thais. I hope they can find suitable premises soon and so continue this vital public service ;-) You can see the letter from the superintendent outlining the verdict here: gisthailand.org (look under latest news lower down the page). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Excellent news! I was a member at the sports club until the christian crazies moved in. They can pay for their own facilties, they can afford it. Edited August 5, 2013 by WinnieTheKhwai 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Club house buildings should be just that- Club house buildings, maybe now the residents of said moo baan might be able to get what they thought they were paying for when they moved in Anyway, what's God got to do with it? and why do American's have to be pale skinned?

Popular Post WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2013 and why do American's have to be pale skinned? The missionaries all seem to hail from Paleskinnia. Don't know why that is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dante99 Posted August 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2013 So Grace telling the court that they were doing what God told them to do didn't impress the judges enough. I hope NSA publishes those conversations between Grace management and God, maybe Snowden has them. When the first court decision was made (2009?) Grace began fund raising for an new school and later there was talk that they had a piece of land for the new school further South. Good the homeowners there get their clubhouse back and get compensation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I am curious to know what 'vital public service' is provided by missionaries. Enlighten us, spread the word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 This is really great news. The letter downloadable on their website explaining the verdict is an interesting (and amusing) read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loptr Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Now if we can only get the visas revoked for all the Paleskinnia, live would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be more sympathetic if the Thai kids were getting the discount priced education instead of the kids of the religious parasites missionaries. If they were back where they came from doing productive work (or even if they continued to not do productive work), most would be entitled to free public education. Of course there, they would probably choose homeschooling so that the kids are properly indoctrinated. Just my $0.02 on it. David 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post noise Posted August 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2013 I thought the Benjaminterrett was wonderfully subtle with his very well worded, carefully crafted sarcasm. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Oops! vacate and turn over the property that was part of the former sports club, pay 4,900,000 THB (approximately $165,000 USD) for damages plus interest at 7.5% per year from August 26, 2008, pay 50,000 baht (approximately $1,700 USD) for legal fees, pay court fees (amount to be determined), pay its share of title transfer fees, and restore the original condition of the facility, including maintaining it in good condition, until the neighborhood association takes over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
