I still want to know how they came to the original anti-Christ decision in the first place.

They conveniently left that out of their letter.

I will conveniently leave any money out of any correspondence I send them from now on.

I can do no other because I actually read the bible and make my decisions accordingly.

Lots of wolves in positions of power at World Vision. Jesus always loved the sinner but he never accepted & tolerated the sin. The apostles faced jail for confronting sinners.

Yep, World Vision revealed their feet of clay.

I can’t help but be reminded of an episode of Malcolm In The Middle, or maybe it was the opening sequence, but one of the boys is watching bugs fly into a bug zapper. As he watches each bug get zapped he remarks, “Stupid.” After watching a series of bugs get zapped he reaches up and touches the zapper and gets zapped himself. We have seen huge public support for people and companies that stand for their Christian Beliefs, (Chik-Fil-A, and the Duck Dynasty dudes), and we have seen good companies marginalize themselves trying to appease the homosexual community. How many more times will squeamish Christians bow before the extremely small group who march before God in proud defiance of his word, before they understand?

Color me skeptical and judgemental, but I’m betting they did this more out of cost-benefit analysis of threats to their donation income, than any sense of moral right & wrong.

The initial decision to allow homosexuals to work for them is all I need to know.

No Christian organization would have even considered such a policy in the first place.

Where are the resignations of the people who initially supported homosexual marriage?

The problem is that so many people are ‘listening to their hearts’ and not reading the word.

The heart will lead you astray.

I’ll believe their sincerity when I see the resignations of board members behind this mockery of God. They have shown themselves to be unqualified to serve as leaders in a Christian organization.

There is no way they didn’t know this would be the reaction.

You’ve got to wonder if they were in the corporate offices snorting coke and downing shots when some bright guy says, “Let’s see what happens if we claim endorsing gay marriage will unify the conservative church.” “Far out, man,” says another while lighting up a big doobie, “Maybe we’ll make the evening news.”

And so they did.

Precisely. Not sorry, just sorry they got caught and see the money going away.

"it recognizes that its staff is comprised of believers from more than 50 denominations, some of which have sanctioned same-sex marriage."

Anyone who "sanctions" same sex marriage is not a believer. At least not as the Bible defines it.

Here are World Vision’s audited financial statements for the year 2011: http://www.worldvision.org/resources.nsf/Main/annual-review-2011-resources/$FILE/ar2011-audited-financial-statement.pdf

I see a section on page 3 titled “Public Cash and Food Commodity Grants” <—— This would seem to me to mean “Government Funding” totaling $240,950 (in thousands of dollars so that must mean almost $241 million if I understand this correctly). So, they may well have been pressured by the Government. This may be what all of this is about.

It will be interesting to see how this develops. Maybe they had no government pressure so they could have a.) just decided to make the decision themselves, highly unlikely to me or b.) were pressured by another special interest group (advocates for same-sex unions, sounds logical since this is what this was about) on this matter. I will add in c.) also, perhaps a company could have pressured them too, a company that gives them commodities and supports so-called “diversity” such as Nabisco.

A mistake in adhering to basic scripture? Nonsense. They got caught. That’s why they’re sorry.

Phooey on them.
