User ID: 64134821 United States 12/20/2015 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I go to a mega church in my area and have been really, really happy there....until this morning. Quoting: TrixieMama As part of the "Christmas" offering they are asking for money to go to three causes. The second cause I would support because it is local and affects my community. The third cause however made me almost puke as they presented it this morning. They had the founder of a non profit group speak about the Syrian crisis and how our church wants to help support this cause. They played pictures on the big screens of children, women crying holding dirty, hurt children, towns in total rubble, etc. They even talked about the story of the 3 year old boy who washed up on a shore dead. Yes, this story was debunked here on GLP and if memory serves me found that Alnon (or whatever the kids name was), was actually killed by his father and it was a propaganda shoot or something like that. During the slide show questions and statements flooded the pictures shown like "Jesus was a refugee", "there was no room at the Inn when Jesus was born, don't be an inn keeper", etc. I literally almost vomited and had to control my emotions cause my soul was SCREAMING inside. I seriously almost stood up and started screaming about how blind our church leaders were being. My husband had to grab my wrist to stop me from blurting out obscenities. Our pastor asked this man who is helping these "refugees" how we can know they are "safe". His response was that in all the history of refugees coming from syria starting in the 80's that NONE have committed acts of terrorism. He went on to say that many are Christians and the ones who are muslim have been visiting area churches wanting to know more about "Christianity". I wanted to scream WAKE THE F%^$ UP!!!!! It's a sham! The refugees who are coming in are NOT Christian and they are NOT families. i'd venture that over 98% are young fighting age males. The numbers this man shared about how many have already come into California blew my mind. He said OVER 35,000 have already moved into Southern California this year ALONE!!! I hate to say it but we are on the verge of being F%&^ed in the arse. Today totally blindsided me because my church has never supported a cause like this or gotten involved in something so controversial. The mood in the congregation changed, people were visibly uncomfortable. The man from the agency spoke about ISIS and their vetting process. He tried to reassure over 1000 people that their vetting process works. I call BULLSHIT....Better yet I call PIG SHIT! I am SO totally sick over this I likely won't go back to my church. I am just totally blown away. People need to wake the frick up. These are NOT our friends. These are NOT people we can trust. There is NO vetting process that works. It's been proven and even reported in the media that our vetting process DOESN:T work. As a Christian, I get it, we are suppose to help others. HOWEVER, I will NOT sacrifice my families safety for this cause. Jesus doesn't want us to welcome the enemy. I gotta take my daughter to a birthday party so i'll be offline for awhile but wanted to vent and share this. Thanks for listening to my rant. XOXO Your spirit is not aligned with Christ that is why you react as you do, many shall be counted as hypocrites perhaps look at yourself as a Christian and see are you truly living tot he standard required. Blessed are they who understand the meaning of compassion who pray also for their enemy's, thou is overcome by fear giving by the adversary and the result is hatred. Lets go Brandon!!

I have no doubt that Christians would be first in line to donate money to keep Syrians safe IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. There is no reason for them to be brought here or delivered to Europe. Why should we endanger our own children and their futures for a people who hate us? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71002994 United States 12/20/2015 06:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP's not being a scumbag for not wanting to help Isis and their families. Most of the so called refugees are fake Syrians who are really Isis members and their families fleeing Russian bombings and assad's army. Notice this flood didn't start till Russia starting bombing the heck out of Isis. Isis are the ones that have murdered millions of Christians and plan on doing the same thing once they get here. There are no Syrian Christian refugees being allowed in despite the fact they are the ones being persecuted and murdered the most by Isis. Many of the refugees are fake Syrians using murdered Syrian's passports to come to the west and we have no way of knowing which ones are legit and which ones are not. Isis even had passport making machine so they can travel under false names. This is a nightmare in the making. This again. It's a scam. Our jihadi white house commander is USING our emotions to give us to our enemies. This above post is as good as anything i can write. So read it, let it sink in. These.. people that come on tv telling you how safe you are, simply put, liars and murderers. Take your head out of the sand, if you believe oBaba is helping you. And besides, we pay taxes AND tithe. Maybe these fucksticks spending our tax money should get saved, because they taking yo money, and spending it on crap that you either don't need, or giving it to fuckers that wanna kill us. |

LOL Quoting: Factual Error Vote with your wallet and stop supporting traitorous churches. When I was growing up, my parents didn't have much money, but gave money and volunteered their time to our Catholic church. I had to go to church every Sunday and attend Sunday school. As a teenager, I was forced to work at the church bingo every Wednesday and Sunday. The church took in hundreds of thousands; each worker was paid $2.00. My dad drove an old used Chevy, and all three priests drove new Cadillacs. Women sitting in the first pew every Sunday were evil gossips. I do not go to church anymore.

Quoting: Sloane Every refugee is not your *enemy*. Of course they aren't all bad, but we do need a better way to sort out the ones who would create violence rather than just opening the doors to everyone as it seems they are doing now. If they were asking for donations to take care of refugees NOT in our country, I'll bet many would donate; I would and do. Has anyone heard anymore about the Egyptian billionaire who is buying an island in the Aegean Sea for refugees? That sounds like a worthy cause. If there were several places such as that, it could be a really nice solution to the refugees' plight.
