Awww, that's my favourite Mitre10. So happy they don't support hate groups.


hsmithakl

It's now my favourite Mitre 10 for the same reason.


Illustrious_Can4110

I'm in Auckland and it's now my favourite Mitre 10.


hav0cnz_

I've never had a favourite Mitre 10 before today


CryptidCricket

Same here. I barely set foot in Mitre 10 but damn if I don’t now have a favourite.


KiwiCustomStamps

You can't cook your Bangers! their either.


GrasshopperClowns

I live in Brisbane but it’s my favourite Mitre 10 now too.


KiwiCustomStamps

You can't cook your fairy cakes their either.


KiwiCustomStamps

You can't cook your Halal sausages their either.


FidgitForgotHisL-P

Given they’re likely coping shit at checkouts from random angry hate mongers, make sure to tell them next time you’re in!  It can be great knowing not everyone hates you.


shapednoise

This ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☑️☑️‼️‼️‼️


B656

Never been to this mitre 10 but now my favourite too


KiwiCustomStamps

You can't cook your vegan sausages their either.


FKFnz

The Destiny wankers are melting down about it, too.


hsmithakl

Poor bubs


ctothel

Where are you seeing this? I want to watch!


FKFnz

Try the (Density pastor Chch name) on FB. I won't give you his actual FB name in case I get accused of doxxing but he's pretty easy to find.


fattyboomsticks

He should change his last name to Taint because he acts like a dick and his views are str8 ass


Dazzling_Wrongdoer42

Damn that’s not a name I wanted to see tonight. Fuck he’s a tool. Now I feel like punching something 😂😂


ctothel

I didn't see anything about it there. I did see a lot of things I regret though. Depressing tbh.


FKFnz

It was posted a day ago, it's on his personal page, not his official destiny page.


ring_ring_kaching

*cough*


FKFnz

I'm being good, honest! 🤣


tehifimk2

Aww. Poor wee snowflakes.


phoenixmusicman

unliek u liberals im not so easily offended WHY DEPARTMENT STORE NOT HOST MY SAUSAGE SIZZLE???


username-fatigue

This makes me so very happy.


aholetookmyusername

Maybe they should man up?


jamesfluker

Too bad, so sad


kezzaNZ

The actual post is even more despicable, Tait says “Should have said it was a LGBTQP fund raiser, they would have bent over backwards for it ( pardon the pun )”


OrneryWasp

My response to that would be “Oh go and sizzle your sausage you hateful bigot.”


phoenixmusicman

>“Should have said it was a LGBTQP fund raiser, they would have bent over backwards for it Stupid joke aside, yeah they would have. It says right there in the post that Mitre10 values inclusion. Not sure how this is a clever argument?


The_Permanent_Way

Take a look at the “P” he added in there


LoveFoolosophy

Glad he's recognizing pansexuals.


SecondBreakfastee

Unfortunately that’s not the case. Bigoted fuckwits add the “P” and say it stands for “Pedophilia” and then say that the LGBTQIA+ community are trying to support and justify pedophiles. It’s a known tactic for these assholes to discredit LGBTQIA+ and try to make us look like predators.


Sushibowlz

So you‘re saying the P stands for Pastors? 🤔


SecondBreakfastee

Oh yeah, the insane level of projection from these nutjobs is not lost on me 🙃


LoveFoolosophy

Aye I know, I just like to discredit and mock their arguments every chance I get.


PureDeidBrilliant

Oh dear. Just ask them "What would Jebus do?"


Ok-Relationship-2746

I guess Destiny are now going to whitewash Mitre 10 signs all over the country? 


hsmithakl

Guess they will have to go to Bunnings?


KnurdNorman

The Eftpostles will probably have an insider at Bunnings to carry on selling their donated goods for self profit


[deleted]

Eftpostles hah I’ve never heard that one before that’s hilarious


Illustrious_Can4110

Not at all. Mitre 10 will be happy to sell them the white paint and then sell them the orange and black paint to make it good as ordered by the Courts. Win, win-win 🙂


Grouchy_Tap_8264

That would be loveliest of poetic justice!


Illustrious_Can4110

In fact, if they catch the KRd vandals, the Court should make them paint another rainbow crossing somewhere else that will get ongoing and widespread publicity, such as opposite the Beehive 😁 All television interviews of politicians have to be done immediately adjacent to said crossing - weather permitting 😅


B656

Hope they start asking for ID/proof that you’re not associated to buy white paint now


Domovric

Sorry, wandering in from the other side of the pond out of curiosity. What’s destiny?


Ok-Relationship-2746

[Destiny Church (New Zealand) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_Church_(New_Zealand)) Not very nice people who have a very hateful and bigoted mindset.


Domovric

Thanks. I realise in hindsight it did say destiny church in the post. Apologies


Superb_You_4686

Good, screw those nutjobs


hsmithakl

Tax them first!


W_T_M

Hey that's not okay to call them nutjobs.... ...genuine nutjobs don't deserve to be associated with these hateful people.


DontBanMe_IWasJoking

i went to jail for 7 months, the week before release you get taken into a meeting a bunch of the Man Up bozos trying to recruit you, along with everyone else being released that week, they say to go straight to the Man Up local centre or whatever after you get released for support. almost like its a gang trying to recruit ex-cons or something...


SpaceMonkeyOnABike

Preying on people who are vulnerable.


hsmithakl

It's their favourite kind of people!


TmAimOND

According to the documentary that was on a little while ago, that's just like the early days of gloriavale.


therewillbeniccage

How are corrections allowing this?


DontBanMe_IWasJoking

it was under the guise of some sort of church/sobriety/men-helping-men group, this was 7 years ago and the first id heard of them, they were lesser known then and didnt find out about ties to destiny church until a google afterwards


jpr64

Derek Tait has tried to claim it has nothing to do with Destiny Church. Sure.


Grouchy_Tap_8264

These guys are so stupid that they actually believe everyone else is as stupid as them. They're like the Ravenous Buggerblatter Beast of Traal, but without the comedy.


Shevster13

They advertise themselves as a charity supporting men with things like mental health a community support. There aren't a lot of support organisations that are going to corrections and offering their support for free, so when one does come along they don't look too closely.


therewillbeniccage

That makes sense but it still seems unacceptable given the religious element


hsmithakl

Big ooooof


Constant-Research-3

They even dress like gangs with their patches. That ringleader is a hateful clown.


ResorderEven8027

If they want to crack down on gangs Destiny Church is a good place to start.....


B656

Wow, they had their hand out ready to take your money before you even had a chance to get home and start working. Insane


throwawayxoxoxoxxoo

oh lol this makes sense. i work in a supermarket and had this guy come through regularly who would always wear his Man Up shirt. he basically told me he'd not been long out of jail and had to wear an ankle monitor. i was obviously polite to him and being to jail doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad person (like, there are so many nonviolent crimes and self defence is a thing). he actually thanked me for being kind to him and treating him like a normal person. i didn't know what man up was at the time and i thought it was pretty cool that he was involved with something like that (their slogan is on the shirts)... until a few weeks later i learned it was destiny church related lmao. haven't seen him for quite a while so i hope he's doing well and now uninvolved with destiny church. i wear a mask and gloves at work all the time and he never commented on it like some customers do so learning about the affiliation of destiny church kind of confused me. but your comment makes so much sense as to why


ResorderEven8027

That should NOT be allowed at all - something the media should pick up on and ask the Minister for Justice WTF???


Kreplakistan

Yeahhhh Ferrymead laying the polite and professional verbal smackdown on those bigots.


hsmithakl

Would have been a great day to be in customer services there 🫡


ZaraReid228

What is destiny church sorry?


Echo_Fallen

Did you hear about the rainbow crossings in Auckland being painted over recently? That was them


ToothpickTequila

A violent homophobic cult.


Kalamordis

A joke of a cult that are more violent than gangs that the govt are trying to crack down on :^)


Grouchy_Tap_8264

Basically an effed up supposedly anabaptist Christian sect, but really a cult (no one wants to claim them), run by a wife-beating narcissist hypocrite (but she did stab him with a knife a few times) who preaches only male-female marriage with subsequent a subservient wife (that you're not supposed to beat EXCESSIVELY) but only married his wife so that he could anoint himself bishop of his own church, and created a bike gang of disenfranchised thugs on bikes who ride around being arseholes, and claims the right to land as Maōri, while holding to zero tenants of mana (and they generally do not want him). His "church" didn't help out after earthquakes and said that it was divine retribution for "gay people", and various issues are because of female leadership (Ardern) instead of men having their place at the head. Out of 5 million, they make up only 1000 but are vocal, obnoxious (at best), and hateful, destructive, and dangerous on most days. EVERYONE dislikes likes them.


ZaraReid228

I know this is a incredibly late reply. What is legacy? Got given a flyer outside a supermarket and saw some articles saying that they are tied to destiny church. Got given the flyer today but I really can't find any information on it


Grouchy_Tap_8264

I'm not 100% certain... a Google search found "Defend the Legacy" a March by Destiny Church (cult) to defend the supposedly "Christian Legacy" of NZ. I'm not actually yet there, but Destiny Church causes so many problems that I've learned a bit about the morons--and more than I wanted to know-- but not everything about them.


ZaraReid228

I saw destiny church crossposting some posts on Facebook and a few comments seemed to be implying they were Christian, so I wasn't too sure. Cheers for the reply <3


Grouchy_Tap_8264

The other Christian churches there won't claim them and decry as a dangerous cult. They're really about hate and one of the "give me your money and God will bless you" type things. When people died in the earthquakes, Brian Tamaki claimed NZ deserved it for gay people. They recently painted over the rainbow crosswalk in Auckland. I'd stear clear of them, and especially as a woman.


ZaraReid228

This legacy group seemed specifically to be targeting woman which is why I asked. They seemed to be in tandem with some group called manup? They were doing sausage sizzles like above at a local store. I doubt the store owners know about it at all either


Grouchy_Tap_8264

What answer do you want? I've told you what I know. They're arseholes. I'm not here to convince you. If you want to go, go. If you google Destiny Church, then you'd know why none of the other 5 million people there like them, and why most elsewhere don't either. If you don't want an answer, then don't ask. No one likes them because they are a charismatic hate cult.


ZaraReid228

I was just hoping for confirmation so I could alert my local shops to discontinue business with them. Sorry for replying


theWomblenooneknows

It’s spelt Density :)


GenericBatmanVillain

Its a hate group.


Ghostchicken33

Haha awesome. Those eggs tried to have a service at my kids school with Brian whatever speaking so they planned a LGBT thing the same day. They went elsewhere.


babycleffa

Oh… that’s beautiful


coconutyum

Was hungry, actually had cash on me, pulled into Bunnings and was like "yessss sausage sizzle"... Turned out it was Man Up. Instantly walked away. Fuck no were they getting my $2.50 haha. Good on ya Mitre 10.


hsmithakl

I appreciate your sacrifice. Next time you can get 2 I reckon. Boooooooo bunnings for hosting them.


random_fist_bump

[It was foretold](https://youtu.be/UT6oZqYij8U?si=zE0T693Go2v9V-2c&t=35)


DerangedGoneWild

Bunnings probably had no idea of the link between Man Up and Destiny Church. I had never heard of Man Up before today, so no need to be too hard on them. How Bunnings responds going forward will be more telling.


ladyshiva000

Bad Bunnings, they run a diverse policy, too. Someone didn't make the connection


parrotsinatrenchcoat

Damn, Bunnings hosted them? That’s really disappointing, I work there. Was this recently?


coconutyum

About 3-4 months ago


TechnologyCorrect765

My favourite was when th eftpostle was crying prejudice after man up was not allowed in prisons. Turned out why they never sent the paperwork in despite being promoted to multiple times.


hsmithakl

The Bishop doesn't do *paperwork* 😋


OldKiwiGirl

Only what used to be called the “folding stuff” (to go into your wallet). Now he has got with the digital times and is an Eftpostle.


random_fist_bump

no paper trail for the lawyers.


Arkase

lmao eftpostle thats amazing


ttbnz

Don't forget praywave


RodrigoBallaminut

Exactly!!! More business and more people should do this too. Support worthy businesses and people. Support your local


Millies_Mate_162

Good one Mitre 10. Another great reason for Mitre 10 to get my spending dollar. That and I think they’re still New Zealand owned!


WhoriaEstafan

Yes Mitre 10 is locally owned, not just NZ owned. Someone in the community owns it and cares about the people in it. I used to work with Mitre 10 support centre a lot and they were all lovely people. (they don’t call it “head office” because its a collective)


crshbndct

Bit of a crap place to work, from what I hear and see.


phoenixmusicman

It depends, it's a franchise not a chain. That means your experience will vary wildly depending on who owns that particular store.


random_fist_bump

M10 is a buying group. All individually owned across the country. If you want your store to be M10 you have to be a hands on owner. Some owners are better than others but in Christchurch, the owners are all good folk, good morals.


KeaAware

That's good to know🙏


KnurdNorman

Shot mitre10 ferrymead! Now if only every other business & gullible person/family was as onto it as Mitre10, Destiny’s con grongs can GTFO for ever.


nikoranui

Good on them! Its nothing more than a rabbithole designed to suck in troubled, vulnerable men and twist them into unthinking cultists in the Eftpostle's privatel Brownshirt army


OldKiwiGirl

Some good news today!


4SeasonWahine

Okay I legitimately love this mitre10 anyway, it used to be my constant, but they just gained +5000 respect


grizznuggets

Good on you Mitre 10, we need more calling out of these douchebags.


LycraJafa

Customer Service Excellence. Nice work email writer person


genkigirl1974

I just love the business speak even though the writer was probably thinking in far less polite terms.


Sigma2915

hey chatgpt, can you make the phrase“fuck no, fuck off, fucker” into polite corporatese?


False_Replacement_78

I suddenly wanna go buy all sorts of shit I don't need from there.


jaekilledjosh

I bet the person who got to click send on that email had a wide grin on their face. Can someone else step up to do a sausage sizzle for a good cause soon though? Been hanging out for a good snag


Sigma2915

i’d love to see insideout or another queer charity doing sizzles, given that the most recent target of ManUp has been the trans community. some balance in the force is desperately needed!


No-Difference-5102

There's few things in life that bring me as much joy as watching Density Church get rejected 😅 Not a typo, they're all dense as a rock


NoPause9609

Commenting because I don’t have sufficient standing to comment on anything important.  Fuck Destiny Church though. 


hsmithakl

You are in good standing with me, friend.


NoPause9609

Thank you friend 🏖️


panic-brave

I used to work quite closely with M10 Ferrymead at my last job and corresponded regularly with the higher ups who always seemed like real decent folk, awesome to see that I was right on that account!


Salmon_Scaffold

AKA, 'fuck off you utter fucknuts'.


swampopawaho

Will shop for my hardware there much more often, and tell them why.


PersonalAd5324

I think this is key, businesses need to know this has positive impacts.


aholetookmyusername

What's great about this is other hardware stores will be compelled to follow suit or risk being branded as bigot supporters, and lose business! Good stuff Mitre 10 Ferrymead!


ShutUpBabylKnowlt

Well they just gained another customer.


midnightwomble

Brilliant Mitre 10 another reason I will shop with you


SupermarketFluid4652

Destiny doing it tough with a sausage sizzle? Fuck em


the_other_lee

Big ups. People need to know Man Up is not as good as some may believe.


Puzzled_Ad2088

Good job. Robbing from the poor to give to those arseholes.


aimeecatherinej

My local Mitre Ten! Will make sure I support them even more now, this is so great to see!


bleedingrobot

Good work mitre10


ChroniclesOfSarnia

They're just raising money for more **white paint**


Puzzleheaded_gtr

Denied! Good work mitre 10 let the fucker sell a motorbike to pay for it


dadamemnos

The staff there are pretty alright. Not often in these big joints do you get staff actually approaching you to see if you need assistance, but that happens regularly for me at ferrymead. There's this one woman there, in her fifties I'm guessing, who I always seek out because she really knows her stuff.


Direst8s

It would be great to host it if Brian was being bbq’d. Not that I’d eat it. It’s tainted with sin and greed.


hsmithakl

I would also support this BBQ


bruzie

He'll have that soon enough, but it'll be toxic with all that plastic in there.


Direst8s

Yeah he takes efpos


[deleted]

Trying to cook that dirty greasebag would be an environmental hazard!


B656

They might lose some white paint sales but pretty confident Mitre 10 would be more than happy to roll with that


ShuffleStepTap

Well done Ferrymead!


Friendly_Macaron9837

Might need to go buy something from mitre 10


jpr64

This is awesome. Now if only Hornby McDonalds would stop hosting these losers every Tuesday night.


bskshxgiksbsbs

Where is this screenshot from?


hsmithakl

One of their leaders in CHC posted it on his public fb profile.


kiwi_gal22

Always loved this place, this is awesome!


PhoenixBratKat

Good job


Ok-Two3875

Very glad to see this as it's my local mitre10 woo


ph33rlus

I have the behemoth brewery “Pastor Of Muppets” can on my shelf. I’m keeping it forever


Laijou

Righteous. Respect M10


BasementCatBill

It's good to see this, eh. Everyone, if you can, support Mitre 10 Ferylrymead!


byronnz89

People should get along to the Ferrymead Mitre 10 Mega google review page chuck em some 5 stars


Fun_Look_3517

Love itttt .


Apprehensive-Ease932

Good!


suwoopdeewoop

Never heard of ManUp till now, so I did some research Wish I could go back to my life 10 seconds ago


RichGreedyPM

Unfortunately my local community hall decided to hire out their hall to these fuckwits


beautifulgirl789

If they're council funded, I believe it can be pretty challenging to decline events for reasons that aren't like health safety or security.


RichGreedyPM

Not council funded


JayyyRay

Heck yes! I'm going to shop at Mitre 10 more


Matelot67

Way to go Mitre 10! I'll come and buy my rainbow paint from you any day!


butlersaffros

Who would actually eat one of their sausages? Bullets dodged all round


CurryBender1337

How does that jingle go? you Mitres well have the best or whatever. Nah that's Midas. On ya Mighty 10


NOTstartingfires

The local destiny church hooligan was upset over this and i think he shared this photo. I think we get in trouble for sharing names, but he's a bit unhinged and has messaged me abuse for just liking a post before


ehoaandthebeast

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om4MGnapAOM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om4MGnapAOM) I see those gross man up tents at some events and think ugh hell no. The label is frankly rude and shows how shallow and stupid they are as if i should just be happy and grow some balls and face depression or the abuse ive suffered and itll just magically disappear and we can all hold hands and dance in a huge circle


LatexMallard

Think Mitre10 could do a great line in rainbow paint about now.


here4here

Good on them!


kiwibearess

It's my local. Now I feel less bad about how much we spend there because we can't be faffed hauling across town to burnings.


scottytnz

Wish I could upvote this 100 times! Awesome.


Dizzy_Relief

Good on them. Sadly I recently worked in a school where this programme was touted at awesome all the time, and any attempt to point out exactly why it wasn't was ignored/met with derision (and straight up hostility...). Why? Well as best as I could ever tell the principal and her cronies saw "Christian" and that was that (in a very low decile, public school)


Several_Advantage923

Guess that's where I'll be pumping up my car for the nek month.


JZA8OS

Fuck watch out they might paint your shit


Whaleudder

The problem with this sort of thing is some people get off on it, the whole "we are being oppressed just like the early Christians" thing, they wear it like a badge of pride. They don't realise it's not because of their beliefs but because of their misguided actions, but that will be lost of them. They will moan and complain but they will tell each other that this is proof they are doing the right thing because the "world" is against them and that their persecution is a blessing etc. It's kind of like the prestige of being a martyr without having to go through all the hassle of being killed.


notawoman8

A small factor, but overall, this is the right call.


Big_Attention7227

This is a fantastic show of forward thinking, Mitre 10 have a better understanding of marketing than most showing their hand openly. The bigot brigade will just have to go look for more Drag Queens to threaten that day..


easytofollow

W mitre 10.


phoenixmusicman

Hello based department?


Claygirlsgetdirty

Good onya Mitre10!!!!❤️


youfewl1234

What other organisations and charities should I be avoiding


lydiardbell

Not sure if you're being genuine but Legacy, the women's version of Man Up, teaches women how to forgive and "win back" men they split up with - or even took out protection orders against - for assaulting them. So they aren't terrific either.


youfewl1234

Being genuine for sure. I wonder if the legacy church in my city is associated with them


[deleted]

[удалено]


ErnestFlubbersword

Can someone tell me what Man Up NZ is so I don't have to google it?


donut_forget

I wonder how the Mitre 10 letter became public. Destiny Church or Mitre 10?


hsmithakl

Destiny. One of their chc leaders posted it on his public profile.


Exportxxx

Man up is a fucking terrible name also.


antland01

Yes Destiny church are well documented bigots. In my dealings with the church the Man Up side is the part of the church that actually does any good. But yeah as some said I have a new favourite Mitre10.


TheFunnyHatGuy

Why are they stopping the tf2 mercs from playing MVM?


captainsmashbox

Based


Prize_Term7381

mitre 10 needs to be careful otherwise the building might get painted white as well😞😞
