“Disgusting.”

Really ? I don`t deem helping the homeless,street kids,drug addicts and destitute seniors disgusting..

The former Soviet Union is strife with poverty and hurting people,my wife is their to meet those needs.Her efforts have helped many...Disgusting is not a word I would of used...”

“"Disgusting is not a word I would of used..."


Of course it's the wrong term. Perhaps "Linear Westernized Cross-culture Exchange" would fit better?”

“mohel..

any volunteers?”

“Paddles, not the helping of the poor - that's not disgusting; that's good work and all that stuff.

No, what's "disgusting" is the slime that goes with said work:

Ron made his first visit to the Almazovo orphanage in Moscow. It was the first time we at MPI had ever ventured into a secular institution in Russia in this fashion. Ron's heart was touched by the living conditions of the poor boys in that orphanage..... From working in areas of evangelism, preaching... - Mission Partners website

They're kind of subtle about it, but it's obvious they like to force their childish fiction they call a religion on the most helpless - such as orphans. It's help for the poor alright, but not without without pressure and a big expectation in return. Queue some religious nut to tell me that "oh it's not like that, we don't force it" - BULL#&%!$, I've learned too much to be fooled by empty denials.

Like I said, disgusting.”

“So you in turn force your opinions on others. That makes sense.”

“gonna be interesting to see if paddles feeds the troll. It'd be tempting with the personal attack on his wife.”

“Rev, as sarge would say "be specific".

Dayhiker, I said nothing personal about the guy's wife. I referred to what the "mission" was doing, or that's what I meant to get across. I only intentionally insult MarkO's and Violin's wives.

Heck, xtianity has its foundation built on brainwashed "useful idiots" to borrow an expression. His wife I'm sure knows not what she does, in the larger scheme.

“Rev, as sarge would say "be specific


Your "disgusting" comment came totally out of the blue and is completely unrelated to this thread. Therefore, you took it upon yourself to require someone else to read your mental diarrhea in order to move on in the thread. That specific enough for you?”

“The thread is about what people do for a living. Commenting on what a person does for a living is "completely unrelated"? Okay, you believe in a zombie son of an anthropomorphized god, so I'll just put that down as Christian logic.

Therefore, you took it upon yourself to require someone else to read your mental diarrhea in order to move on in the thread.

Christians are so immature with their belief system, sometimes it's amusing to watch that spill over into other areas of life. I don't "require" anything. The adult thing to do would be to ignore it. Grow up.”

“Sarge, I'll do it whenever I want.”

“paddles, looks like she's doing good things! ignore Mutt, he obviously has no clue what missions are like.”
