“Just curious about how someone who obviously thinks their very existence brings much to the table”
Every healthy person thinks that their very existence brings much to the table. Fact is, almost everybody brings something to the table.
I would also note that you have a great deal of room to be less obnoxious in your calls for donations.
True - so many FReeloaders and so little time. The Bible tells us to "lovingly shame such people" and make them embarrassed enough to want to change their ways. In today's society, it's awful hard to embarrass anyone because even many on the so-called Right seem to have bought into the PC crap abut deserving self-esteem no matter what. Times change, tactics change.
BTW - I've only had 2 or 3 folks mention that they donate and their names don't show up. 1 person said they don't have enough money to donate. The real kicker is all those who don't donate and either ignore me in hopes I'll go away or who tell me it's none of my business how they spend or don't spend my money - so dang....Democratic of them to obfuscate instead of telling the truth - they're too cheap and don't see why they should have to ante up if others are willing to foot the bill.
