Salvation Army ditched by donors and volunteers after disastrous release of 'anti-racism' guide

Post by audiophile » Fri Dec 17, 2021 8:39 am

This what happens when people like Traverse City Tom infiltrate your organization or worse are hired to give advice.

This is also what happens when great organizations and churches veer from their central mission and try to get involved in silly political wokeness.

PS I could saved them a lot of trouble releasing my own guide of three words: "Just Be Colorblind". For more information see Martin Luther King.

There are plenty of right wing churches that need your advice. For them Christianity is a means to a political end. In fact many evangelicals are less tied to Jesus than they are the movements connection to the GOP.

Merely pointing out that he seems to believe this is a problem only with supposed “wokeness” it’s a broad problem encompassing views from BOTH SIDES.

MLK shared most of the same ideals as Malcolm X and certainly wasn't a believer in being color blind. Wow.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.

MLK seems pretty clear to me:

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Fantastic. That’s hardly a picture of the man.

Most of the ecumenical community in Traverse City avoids the salvation army because of their beliefs about lgbtq issues. They're widely regarded as being a bit bigoted and they have their supporters. But they're not a collaborative organization with the rest of the community. Frankly, the organization I'm affiliated with wants nothing to do with them.

We have a lot of problems with homophobic parents emotionally abusing their kids in the poor ignorant rural areas surrounding Traverse City.

I doubt bell ringer shortages are due to this obscure guide that almost no one outside of the organization knew about.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
