That was exactly my thought too.

Implying that there is something nefarious going on and trying to cast doubt about the source, in this case, the American Bible Society.

Well nobody says that they are obligated to provide Catholic version Bibles and they are not suspect of ANYTHING if they don’t.

This technique smacks of being truly desperate in that the best one can do is cast suspicion on others because they can’t support their own position on its own merit.

Hinting at groundless suspicions and accusations backfires. People see through it and it does not damage the reputation of the American Bible Society in this case, as much as it does the person doing the *Hmmm*ing.

Especially when it’s been a regular occurrence on these threads.

So......

Salvation. If you have any issues with unscrupulous behavior or motivations of the person whom you are apparently suspect of, why don’t you just have the guts to come right out and say what you’re suggesting?

The ABS is one of my favorite organizations. They manufacture very special Bibles for our troops overseas. Small and compact, they fit nicely in a pocket or knapsack and have a very cool cammo cover. It is totally fitting that they be the first to be sending the Word of God to Cuba.

I have very limited funds and have to choose my charities carefully.

FR, ABS, and the USO. And that’s about it.

My best friend and spiritual mentor (the one who died in my arms in a helicopter) was involved with smuggling Bibles into the old Soviet Union. After the regimes fell, she shifted her focus to muslim countries. You can fit a LOT of Bibles under a burka!
