Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I’ve given the Salvation Army my last dime.

This sort of puts a wrench in that statement. You can't be Christian and support a Marxist organization and Marxist ideology like CRT..

Fuggem!

In consideration of the new attitude of the Salvation Army, I think they should take all those kettles and set them up in the virtuous black neighborhoods. Let’s see how that works out.

I am going to print a bunch of those and throw them in every kettle I come across.

Looks like they've changed their tune after much "backlash" imagine that?!

Good.

Too little, too late.

7mmbuster: I am with you - I have always given to the salvation army and now that is ka-put, as of today!
Thank you for bringing THIS to my attention.
The salvation army can now suck my taint.
What next?
Sheesh.

Not much of one.

Yes !

I really like this idea.
The always start after Thanksgiving at the local grocery store. I went in to get milk, and walked right by the bell. She even told me hello and I returned to greeting. I had a notion to tell her why I wasn’t dropping any money, but I didn’t.
The fact that they’re recalling the study really doesn’t wash with me. Maybe an open apology would get me to change my mind. I think I’ll mention that the next time I see them.
I’m not that hard hearted. I believe they do a lot of good.
Pittsburgh Steelers take note. I have no idea what their record is. But an apology would probably make me forgive them.

I can honestly say ive never supported or donated to the Salvation Army. Not because of political or religious ideology, I just don’t believe in helping others.

I do drop a handful of 3/4” washers in the kettle every once in a while just to see what it feels like to be a sucker.

You don't need to compromise your principles to help do good work.
There are tons of places to put your money, that would provide more,
And targeted help. Ask the preacher who you could send an anonymous
gift card to. Look around, order heating oil for some old person.
Or (gasp) a young one trying to support their kids.



Told my sister once that if I were to win a big lottery, it would be cool
to anonymously help folks. "But it would be hard to find them".
She argued, as she likes to do. "Oh, that's easy. Just ask around."

But the ones that are so easy to find don't need my help.
Either they are on assistance, or just mooches.
I'd like to help the strong proud people that are eating rice and beans.
Juggling buying a ham bone against the electric bill.
And they won't tell a soul or ask for a nickel. And you have to do
it anonymously. Because they will not accept it if offered.

We have, on occasion, mailed gas cards, or grocery cards to people.
Makes it easier to look them in the eye on the street.

I throw dimes at the bell shaker.

Sometimes I’ll say “duck” if I’m feeling kind.

Otherwise, I let their chest act as a backstop.

Feels good to give.
