Haven’t seen a Salvation Army bell ringer….hmmmm

Posted on 12/07/2021 2:56:46 PM PST by Maskot

This is just an observation… I am a professional shopper so I am in and out stores all day every day numerous times. Last week and thru this weekend there were Salvation Army bell ringers at almost every location I worked. The last two days there have been zero. A quick look on the internet “news” shows how they’re going to spin it. A. Lack. Of. Workers. Due. To……Covid! How convenient!

Nope nope nope ….. it’s NOT because we stepped into a pile of CRT poop. It’s a “lack of workers due to covid” 🤔

Anyone have any similar observations from their area?

Yep. The non apology clinched it for me. Just CYA for now but you know they will keep marching backwards.

There’s other places that just do good works without the scolding. They’ll benefit from the SA committing suicide. The SA STEPPED into poop willingly. They can deal with the fallout. Nobody, and I mean nobody needs to be lectured by any so-called charity that is only alive because of donations from every day people.

Are you okay? Are you drinking?

Sounds to MANY (except you, it appears) that the SA has plenty of support, from their woke, corporate donors.

Have a good night.

Churches and local organizations provide the same services.

So how soon was your church on site following 9/11?

How many folks did your church send to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina?

Here's a thought, send me a link to your church's website where I can find what services it provides to the indigent in your community. Fair enough?

Well that's a good thing since it's apparent that the local Christian hypocrites such as you have written them off.......

Have a good night....LOL!

People don’t support things they don’t agree with. It’s not a “Christian” thing or a “religious “ thing. It’s a personal thing. Just because an organization has done good in the past, does NOT negate keeping an eye on their future endeavors. That’s tunnel vision.

If the humane society suddenly decided to start killing puppies, but you adopted a great puppy from them years ago, would you still give them money and support?

Just curious, had it not been for this website, where would you have been informed of what the SA attempted to do? And how many people in this country are even aware of their attempt at wokeness?

Sorry dude but the contributions to the down on their luck individuals outweighs any bullshit accusation you can throw at them about wokeness.

First off I’m a dudette

Second: I read MANY sites daily. FR is NOT where I get my daily news, it’s just a bonus

Third: the SA debacle is everywhere

So……maybe you should get out more or take a pin to your bubble

This pamphlet was disseminated by the International Social Justice Commission, a Salvation Army subsidiary. The fact that the Salvation Army feels the need to have such a leftist division within its organization tells me everything I need to know. They will never get another penny from me.

We don’t have to blame liberalism for destroying Christian based organizations, our modern day Puritans are doing it themselves.....

I like bonus. Bonus is gud.

What I do like about freerepublic.com is that the articles posted are out on the net. So even by visiting the FR site i can see an excerpt or if hg is lucky the whole article. and when you click outto the other site, you actually get to read the article, if you can get past the spam.

actually it’s not safe for any of the regulars non-noobs to read the article. They might click spam into hunters laptop or something like that.

Is there anywhere one can review this disgusting racist diatribe put out by the Salvation Army? They have obviously removed it from their web site due to the intense backlash, but I’m sure there has to be a link to a copy somewhere out there.

The people high up in the SA are not Christians by a long shot. They’ve infiltrated the organization, most likely to take it down. I agree there’s lots of “puritans” that are off base, but in the case of the SA, there’s something else happening there.

Will check out the situation when I go to Rockefeller Center.

If they’re getting fewer donations than usual, they should have one separate kettle that says THESE DONATIONS WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE POOR. Or maybe ANYONE WITH WOKE OPINIONS WILL SOON BE FIRED CAMPAIGN.

I’m in Denver and have only seen one bell ringer. I just walked past like he wasn’t there. No comments, just plain ignored him.

I'm a bell ringer in Morgan County, Indiana.

Activity this year is comparable to prior years, in large part, I'm sure, because all contributions received in the Christmas kettles stay in the community and do not inure to the benefit of the national organization.
