I guess this place had a lot of "Uncles, Brothers, and male cousins" visiting in the past and is tring to cut down on the "pregnant young woman in the shelter" sterotype.

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner!

And the voice of reason only took fifty posts to arrive.

Maybe so. The reporting is typical incompetent crap, so we can only surmise as to the real story here. All I can suggest with confidence, is that this is probably only the tip of this particular iceberg.

Look, I'm not saying what she did was okay or even that she's a nice person. I understand why they have these kind of rules. I just thought that at Christmas time maybe this good christian could have cut her some slack for the sake of her kids and given her a little more time to find somewhere else to go. He told her tuesday to be out by 9 a.m. wednesday.
Sometimes I read a article like this and it really frosts me, so this time I spouted off a little.

You people are unbelievable. Jesus was grace and salvation to the huddled masses, including I may add a harlot. Surely what this lady did was nothing in comparison to that.

Jesus also beat and threw out the money changers from the temple. He told his followers to respect authority. He did indeed show love and compassion, but it was tempered with the strength of righteousness.

I wouldn't propose to imagine what He would have done in this situation, but He would have wanted the young lady to follow the rules of the house

Excusing bad behavior by citing worse behavior.

Seesh.

Why are you complaining about that post? And mine too. There are FAR WORSE posts, many of them on this thread. That makes mine OK. (That was sarcasm BTW)

"What ever happened to peace, love, and Christian charity?"

Christian charity holds people to account. This isn't a government program -- an 'entitlement.'

Harsh? Maybe. Unchristianlike? Not at all.

I am sure that if you contacted the shelter they would help you get in touch with this woman so that you can show some love and charity when you take her into your house -- without any silly rules to restrict her, of course.

"At least she is keeping her children, she has not put them out for adoption."

Perhaps the best thing that she could do for her children is to give them up to good homes, then she can find herself a job and get herself straightened out. Or are we 'entitled' to take care of her?
