As previously, red/orange marks are for information that has potential to be misused while blue is something I find funny or ironic.
Today's theme: Legal information that RU Homes wants.
Have you ever been arrested or in jail? Where? Charges? Time Served?
Oh, freaking no. Arrests and being in jail are not a sign of guilt; many people have been arrested or been in jail without having done anything wrong.
Why would RU Homes want this information? Well, emotional manipulation springs to mind - or blackmail.
Status of supervision, parole, probation:
I don't have a problem with that question per se; the problem is that people who are on supervision and parole are generally required to stay in a tight geographic area. I doubt they are going to be allowed to relocate for RU Homes.
Name and contact information of parole/probation officer:
I wouldn't give that information over either - before or after being accepted to the program. So far, RU has information that can be used to embarrass patients.
Contacting a parole or probation officer with a negative behavior report can have negative repercussions on personal freedom.
Imagine a parole officer getting calls that Jane Smith has received two major infractions during her program. Now, hopefully the parole officer would ask about the cause because this could be as minor as "occult or New Age behaviors" or talking with a guy. On the other hand, a parole officer could mistakenly assume that a major infraction means Jane is using drugs again or has tried to escape. Bluntly, turning this over is giving RU a free rein to threaten to have you returned to jail or prison.
Details of upcoming court cases:
Is RU Homes a lawyer? No. They don't need to know the details - except perhaps dates needed in court - in writing.
You may be obligated to reschedule court dates when accepted to the program.
Uh.....seriously? Does RU Homes expect the US Court System to accommodate them? Good luck with that.
Do you have to register your residence with any entity whatsoever? Y/N
*Sniggers*
Everyone over the age of 18 should answer "Yes" since you would need to register as either a resident of Rockford for voting purposes OR report your long-term absence from your home voting precinct to get absentee ballots. After all, any student/patient who has not lost voting rights due to a felony conviction has the right to be involved in the political process.
Answering "Yes" may or may not disqualify you from the home:
A few thoughts:
- While men and women are theoretically separated during this program, I would be extremely uncomfortable being in a program with men or women who had been convicted of violent crime or sexual misconduct. The program seems understaffed to be sure of patient safety.
- Who is doing the screening? Is there a preset list of convictions within a timeframe that excludes people or does a "I found Jesus" story outweigh an aggravated assault charge?
Driver's license information:
You can have it when you explain why you need it. Since presumably I won't be driving during the program, I have no idea why they need it.
State photo ID and SSN card/birth certificate are required for entrance:
You do often have to show a photo ID at a hospital, but I've never needed to show an SSN/birth certificate in a hospital.
Of course, I've needed both to fill out my I-9 for employment purposes - but that makes no sense. All of the people at the RU Schools of Discipleship are "volunteers" or "unpaid interns". Either way, they have NO reason to turn in an I-9.

Questions about Government Assistance:
Why on Earth would RU Homes need this information - unless they can take that funding from you....
This is sketchy.....
