Shipments arrived in Houston beginning on Thursday, Feb. 25. Food deliveries ran through Monday, when church volunteers joined with other interfaith partners in Houston to get the much-needed food to those in need.

“It’s like reading our minds,” said Les Cave, CEO of Northwest Assistance Ministries in Houston. “We’re running out of basic items, and now here you are with what we need.”

Cave continued, “When congregations respond as you are responding, the items go directly into the cars of people who are out of a job now or have had a bad turn of luck. People are suffering right now out of no fault of their own, so local people get behind the relief efforts of those who are struggling.”

Time for you to diss the church and its efforts, I Have A Quibble/Quarrel...as you did on another thread.

by the way, the church steps in often and throughout the world to help out, along with others, to alleviate suffering. Personally, I think God is pleased when churches step up to the plate and help.

How often and where does your:

...step up to help throughout the UK or the world at large? What organization that you belong to, if not this one, does good throughout the world? And do you hold them as accountable as you do the LDS Church?

We want to help in every way we can. We are not a wealthy people but we are good people, and we share what we have.

In other words, we don't have the money to help you with your water problems. I'm afraid that what money we have needs to go to the white and delightsome people in Oklahoma and other whiter places in the Lord's vineyard. The 120 billion is NOT for the negros! Sorry. You'll have to pray to Jesus that some other church can help you. But we Mormons aren't forking over our money.

[Shulem]

The Mormon Church will become a Christian church once it starts acting like a Christian church.

Give the 120 billion to the poor and take up your cross and truly follow Jesus's ways of charity and good will. Quit telling kids to not touch their crotches. Quit attacking gay love! Apologize to the negros who never got the priesthood.

To be fair, the organization that you’ve linked to above likely isn’t a Church with a stated mission to “help care for the poor and needy”.

Meanwhile, check out what some of those other crazy secular-ish organizations are also doing in Texas:

MacKenzie Scott, all by her self, tossed 18 million dollars into the pot, and she’s only worth half as much as what the Church has stashed away with Ensign Peak Advisors. That’s pretty good.

Fair enough. Nonetheless, I’d be interested in knowing whether the secularists here that complain about how the church laser focuses its contributions to those in need have the same view towards other religious institutions that also step up in times of need.

And as an aside, whether they, the non-church goers and/or secularists, have alternative ways/avenues that they contribute to those same needs.

For example, let’s say that IHAQ has a total net income of a million dollars a year. He gives 10 thousand dollars total to charities that contribute specifically to those in need of personal temporal salvation of one sort or another. One per cent of his income. Anyone going to diss him for that?

Probably not. I wouldn’t.

Although, truth be told, wouldn’t it be nice if he gave a hundred thousand dollars?

Through the church’s Humanitarian Fund we are able to, as members, make contributions that we know will go towards those in need. It’s an awesome program. And that doesn’t include what can be done with Fast Offerings.

Let’s spend less time dissing churches and more time giving them kudos for what they do to help others temporally.

MG

IKR? Her efforts are amazing. Overall, she donated over 4 billion this year, If I recall correctly. That’s a person who has truly decided to do some serious good with her money.

I think this is admirable.

That churches and others step forward when needed is a godsend for those in need. I think we should spend more time giving kudos than giving criticism.

A godsend would be the Mormon Church, voluntarily out of the goodness of its heart, donating ALL of the 120 billion to worthy charitable causes, worldwide.

And at least some of that would have to go to black people. But Mormons aren't keen on giving money to black people without strings attached. Mormon gifts come with strings. Negros have always taken a backseat in Mormonism. There are no Negro apostles. Nothing for the Negros except for empty promises.

[Shulem]

Mormons would rather watch poor Negros in Africa starve to death rather than give up their holy stock market funds.

The Mormons don't give a damn about the Negros. Let them die. Let them starve to death. Who cares?

Grow the holy funds!

Grow it for SATAN!
