Paul, if I'm wrong, I will be the first to admit it.

Please know that Free Republic is filled with many good-hearted and generous people, so you will understand, we are often targeted by unscrupulous people and have actually had money stolen by a convicted felon on at least one occasion.

So -- many times burned, we become shy -- and when a group that is not one we have normally heard of comes to us for donations, we are quite naturally skeptical.

You are correct, the letter I posted was an actual 401 scam letter I got recently, altered to feature your name instead of the name I was offered.

If you are legitimate, I sincerely apologize for taking my humor too far. I hope you understand that my intent was to avoid letting members of our forum be defrauded, and I often illustrate my points with humor.

I invite members of Free Republic to exercise due diligence before contributing money to your organization. People have used tragedies to scam and defraud good-hearted people many times in America, most notably after the 9/11 disaster. A little caution is wise. Things to look out for range from excessive costs associated with 'administrative fees', all the way to outright fraud.

However, if you are legitimate, then G-d be with your effort to give relief to the poor victims of this horrible tsunami tragedy. And in that case, I wish you all the best luck in your attempt to raise money, and all the best luck in your efforts to assist these poor people.

In any event, our prayers are with the victims of this horrific tsunami. America weeps with you.

Yours, Lazamataz

Dear Pra Jinda

Swayemsevak (RSS) people do very good works in India. I appreciate it. But I don't understand why they hate christians in India? Aren't they Indians? Aren't they love and serve the nation? Then why? Is it because they love and believe Jesus?

Do you know RSS militant group is asking people not to give any help to the Christians who are suffering from tsunami tragedy. In one of our churches, there are six families camping in the church compound itself and feed by their own relatives and believers only. R.S.S. militants do not allow any of their people or groups to give them any kind of help. How sad it is! During the heavy earth quake tragedy in Gujarat they did not allow christians to get any helps. You know it very well.

Dhara Singh, one of the leaders of Bajrang Dal, which is a sister movement of the R.S.S. killed the Australian Missionary Graham Stains and two children. Still so many are facing persecutions. Yet we love them. It is not christianity to curse anybody. Jesus taught us to love and showed His love the sacrificial death for each and everyone of us. So we pray for everybody that they come to know the love of Jesus.

Arsha Bbharat Samskar (The Culture of the Ancient India)? was lovely and peaceful. Ancients Rishis (monks) had peace always. They always taught about peace. They always recite "Aum Santi" (peace).

Let us join together to have peace among Hindus and Christians. If we all practice the loving scrifice of Jesus, Dharma Of Krishna, and non violence of Mahatma Gandhi, surely we can rebuild the Arsha bharat Samskara and the national integrity.
God bless
Pastor Paul Ciniraj
