Having failed to realise I was in a religious mormon-bashing thread, I thought I was in a thread asking why the islamic group teamed up with the lds group.
I mentioned that maybe the IR-USA didn’t have an organization ready to go to Haiti, while the LDS folks do.
You said the Salvation Army was already in Haiti. Well, since the LDS has people to go to Haiti, they wouldn’t need to hook up with a group already there. It’s the IR-USA that needed a partner. So of course, I assumed you were suggesting the IR-USA should have hooked up with the SA.
But now I see that wasn’t your point at all. You were trying to suggest the LDS should partner with the Salvation Army.
Which makes no sense. The LDS has an organization, but can always use money. the IR-USA had money. the salvation army has an organization already. There is no point in two groups with organizations hooking up, the point is to get the group with money to help the groups with organizations.
Now that I know your true purpose, I apologize for thinking this was going to be a rational conversation about what makes the most sense when providing relief efforts.
As to the rest, you are correct, and I apologize to “FR” for the shorthand; I should have spelled out my complaint that “I didn’t understand why, on FR, there were Freepers who were”. I have no doubt that most of those on FR would find this discussion tedious at best.
But, again, I also apologize to everybody on this thread, as I misunderstood the purpose and point of the thread. I wasted your time explaining why it made sense for relief organizations to pair with fundraising organizations, when the point of the thread was to bash the Mormon church for helping Haitians.
Say what? Are you serious? Of course, under the broadest of definitions, ANY non-profit "can always use money" -- wow! what a passive way of still-saying- something-technically-correct-but-for-your-argument-to-work-you-REALLY-mean-NEED-the-$-elsewise-your-argument-falls-flat-'cause-you-don't-want-to-REALLY-come-out-and-say-something-stupid-like-the-LDS Church-NEEDS-$.

You are the biggest non-Mormon defender of Mormonism I have ever met. May I ask why you don’t just go ahead and join?
The mormons chose to "partner" with a muslim organization rather than join with any one of the various Christian organizations providing aid to Haiti.
Make of it what you will.
Reading minds on the Religion Forum is against the rules. You have done it twice now. "Now that I know your true purpose".
LOL!
No, not at all! I appreciate your time and effort, even if I believe your giving of the benefit of the doubt to either Muslims or Mormons is naive. And just because bashing and conspiracy theories have been a large part of the posts doesn't mean it was the point of the thread.
Now that I know your true purpose,

Mindreading is against forum rules.
As I have stated before, I would object to ANY church that claims to be Christian partnering with a Muslim group that is being investigated to terrorist ties.
