But its refusal painted the man publically as a sinner, no wonder his reaction was one of angered surprise.

It was clumsily handled. But I suppose if we wanted smooth-talking slick PR people, we would be giving to the Red Cross! :-)

The Sa is an odd outfit, but they are so genuine by comparison, I guess I would have to call it "clumsy Virtue". It would have been better done to have a quiet word with the donor, and left his self respect intact. But it is so rare to see anyone turning down money because of principle these days, I just cannot bring myself to putting them down for it.

Well....they could have deducted a percentage of what would have gone to gambling ministries, sent him a check for that amount and kept the rest...Solomon might have decreed such a ruling!..That way every-one might have kept their moral self respect intact!
