"I would agree with you completely if the SBC was asked to hand out condoms. Or beer. They were asked to distribute WATER. Do you see where your analogy fails?"
No, I don't see where it fails. Does advertising send a message? Do you believe that Joe Camel should have been removed from Camel cigarette packs because kids were influenced by the advertising? The SBC is FREE to select what it deems as appropriate for distribution, they believe that water in beer cans sends a message just like giving kids condoms sends a message. If there truly were people going thirsty, I doubt very seriously that they would withold the water. People are NOT dying of thirst.
