Beware the Red Kettle:

That says it all...Sounds something like Judas Iscariot would say...

>> “And I’ll bet those men who are vocal about it as you are would mostly be rethinking their priority if it was to happen to their wife.” <<

I think this is a given, but it hangs on a false dilemma.

No abortion has ever saved a single life!

Sounds like mine...I can’t get rid of anything of his until he “checks” it first.

I give away winter things while he’s at summer camp, so he doesn’t look for them for a long time.

Must be attached to the Y-Chromosome.

“Where’s my ...?”

“I gave it away in 2007. Buy yourself a new one if you need to.”

"Must be attached to the Y-Chromosome."

I think it must be!

That's exactly what happens. I got tired of some old beach t-shirts my husband had when we got married in 1994. He hadn't worn them in years, but there they were, taking up space in a drawer beneath some other things.

I tossed them. I am not kidding you, he came in a couple of weeks later and asked where they were.

Thank you,, metmom.

Controversial, isn’t it? :)

>>I thought it had sunk low, but now seems to be getting more desperate. The Roman clan apparently will post anything that casts a negative light on anything Protestant, to try and make their cult look better. This constant barrage of spamming RC promotion should be eliminated from this site. It seeks to be something it is not. FreeRepublic is designed to be a uniter of like-minded people, but the incessant promotion of Roman Catholicism is more a divider.<<

I signed up for FR back in 2010. I saw pages of RC dogma pieces and a few days later decided to move as this was an RC site. Then came back last year to view/post here after a friend told me my original observations were premature.

Then as I started posting here I thought the RCs were like the RCs in my family, friends and work associates. Wow was I surprised. The conservative traditional RCs I know in real life day to day are nothing like what I see posted here. It is like we are in some Jesuit and Opus Dei bizarro world here.

2 Corinthians 9:

7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.(KJV)

God Bless you for doing so.

The Salvation Army provides the physical and spiritual needs of many of the most broken souls in our country. If anyone has a dry eye after reading or hearing some of the testimonials of broken drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes and many others they don’t have a heart.

You do well dropping in your donations.

They are still a great organization. Just another RC hack job article.

It is positive reinforcement for the poor slug doing the hard work and standing on concrete, in front of the public.

Not to mention out in the cold, snow, wind, and freezing rain. Today I stopped at two different kettles outside of local stores. Maybe my total donation between the 2 kettleswas $1.23... but it was something... and you'd be damned right if you'd say I was thinking about the complete spew that started this thread as I wished the bellringers a Merry Christmas.

Depending on one’s money situation, a coin tossed into the bucket and a look into their eyes with a smile and a nod, maybe a thanks, should be a nice gesture.

The small chapel I attended in my late teens ran a Gospel mission home. They provided for those in need for shelter, help with addiction and other needs. When at the mission most would attend our church but once on their feet found a home church back at home. Most were people coming to the NYC area looking for better opportunities but fell on bad times.

So I agree, the SA should do what they do best. Minister to the needy as the good Samaritan and preach the Gospel.
