oh my. from their pulled guide:

Race is not biological. It is a social construct.

Racist policy: is any measure that produces or sustains racial inequity between racial groups.

Systemic racism: describes a dynamic system that produces and replicates racial ideologies, identities and inequities

Racism has had a significant and disproportionate impact on morbidity and mortality among Black and Brown neighborhoods.

Whiteness is also at the core of understanding race in America. Whiteness and the normalization of White racial identity throughout America’s history have created a culture where non-White persons are seen as inferior or abnormal.

Ugh this is full blown critical race theory. I cannot continue. Fuck I want my $20 back that I donated.

This is really sad. MLK Jr's Christian approach to racism wasn't that long ago. That poor dude is rolling in his grave right about now.

The fact that they were drawing parallels with events that happened before they even existed and saying that their organisation was at fault was retarded. It shows that their leadership just doesnt know what its doing. What its meant to do is help people and encourage people to find Jesus. What its actually doing is adopting communist globalized homogenization propaganda.

I can't exactly remember but I think the poor rising up and taking over society is a belief in the salvation army due to Jesus saying the meek shall inherit the earth. It's pretty easy for the woke to infiltrate if that's the case.

Rising up and taking is literally the opposite of meek. And inheriting is the opposite of taking.

So basically you couldn't be more wrong.

So what are the core Salvation Army beliefs then?

[–]jamesK_3rd 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I think Derr posted some of their beliefs.

But it's fairly obvious they've moved beyond the teachings and moral structure of Christianity.

It appears they use a mix of black liberation theology with secular humanism.

Serendipitous timing.

This is very relevant to the discussion.

That those who have should help those who don't.

Funny, I can't see that in any of their literature.

[–]aaarrgh 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They take it all too literally. Hence, they're stupid.

You can bet your ass Goodwill isn't going to make the same mistake.

[–]MobiusRacetrack 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Isn't Goodwill for profit?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

they're supposed to be non profit but all their donations go to their executives pay. It's a scam and also they're woke like salvation army.

Lots of people I know are offended. Never offend donors.

The Montgomery Salvation Army said it was only able to man about a dozen of its 40 red kettle locations across the Alabama city and has resorted to hiring people to make up for the shortage

Lmao what? They’re short on donations so they’re using the tiny amount they’ve received to hire people to collect donations?

Possibly those that infiltrated the organisation and made that change would like the poor to lose out on charity. It strengthens their argument that we need the state. Are there any uncorrupted charities?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

never give to any charities, if you want to really help poor people give them some money directly, preferably family members if they need it.

[–]chadwickofwv 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, there are not any charities which are not corrupted. There never have been, at least not in recorded history.

For the first time ever, I saw a Sally Ann ad on Youtube telling me that I need to contribute to their giving campaign. No thanks.

This is good, stupidity has its price.

Go woke get broke

I wouldn't consider giving them another penny until everyone responsible for that cultural Marxist nonsense is kicked out the door. Top to bottom, they need to go.
