Army Salvation

Why I was in boy scouts growing up, we always helped ring bells every year to collect money for the Salvation Army. I also had the opportunity to work with a church group at the soup kitchen as well. I think that the Salvation army provides hope for people in bad situations. But beyond hope, they give real help like food and clothing. A few years back, when we where in a hard spot, they gave us a bag of toys to give the kids for christmas. I must have cried half a dozen times because of their generosity at that time.

You would think with the way the economy is that the people owning these coins would want to use them in a different way. Maybe they don't know of their value, or they are trying to do a good deed. That seems unlikely though considering the number of them that showed up and the way people today act. Most are out for themselves.

I think it's pretty neat that people are willing to donate these sort of coins, yes maybe they don't know the value of it you know what am I saying? But maybe some do and they would like to donate it as charity.

I always donate to the Salvation army because that is the ethical thing to do. I heard that the Salvation army sells top premier name brands at their shops, but they are used. I don't buy used clothing for fear of transmissions.

Salvation Army Faces New Criticism for Stance on Abortion

A weekend article by WorldNetDaily has the Salvation Army facing new criticism for its position on abortion, - which supports the pro-life position on most all abortions but allow for r-pe and incest exceptions.

The Salvation Army is not new to criticism for supporting exceptions to its pro-life position, as Life Decisions International, which compiles frequent lists of corporations to boycott for donating to the Planned Parenthood abortion business, has cited the Salvation Army for criticism. LDI has included the red kettle organization in its list of groups that deserve scrutiny because of less than absolute pro-life positions.

The Salvation Army's abortion position statement starts off with a pro-life theme.

"The Salvation Army believes all people are created in the image of God and therefore have unique and intrinsic value. Human life is sacred and all people should be treated with dignity and respect. The Salvation Army accepts the moment of fertilization as the start of human life. We believe that society has a responsibility to care for others, and especially to protect and promote the welfare of vulnerable people, including unborn children," the organization says. Ref.
