do you know SAH? If not - how do you know she "is the kind of people that wouldn´t help a person in need of help"?
I mean, I´d like it better if she wrote her comments in a more moderate way. I think she´s absolutely entitled to see Ronnie in a critial way - no one will only find people who like him or her. But I don´t like the way she often writes and I guess she can guess that. Criticizing should be in order to help another person to improve but not to simply hurt.
But I don´t think one can automatically draw the conclusion that SAH would not help anyone in need of help just because she obviously doesn´t like Ronnie.
Just think of people like Mother Teresa who is a representative of the church too and would never have wanted to be considered as something different - just one example.
I agree with you that alot was and is going wrong with the church (I´m only talking about the Roman Catholic one because I´m not so firm about the inner affairs of other churches.) The problem began, in my eyes, when the Christian community changed from a persecuted or just tolerated minority to a political power. Power makes corrupt, human beings are fallible for power and money - Christians should be exceptions but they aren´t, at least not all. That´s probably the reason why Jesus announced that not everyone who calls him "Lord" will be going to heaven.
But on the other hand I have contact with so many really good projects run by the church where the Christians and their missionaries are the only ones caring about poor people (for example the Dalits in India - does that tell you something?).... That´s where no one else cares.
I´m sorry you didn´t find the help you were looking for but not giving you anything does not mean that ALL poor people are refused. You know, most people have the problem that their names are not Rockefeller or Onassis so they can only spend a certain amount - and then they´ll sort out what and whom they´ll give something for.
Hi Jason, i was very moved by your life story... I would like to be a friend of yours, because a new friend is always wellcome! :-) I write with some other prisoners in the States, since a couple of years. But every person is unique and you seem a very kind human, Jason. Let me introduce myself. I'm a young feeling belgian woman of just 65 yrs.Just have this new age for 7 days,- smile- I'v' lived in the States with my family for 7 years.(Utah and Ohio). My youngest daughter was born in Utah.We have another daughter as well. I am divorced since about 5 yrs and my love is an American prisoner. He was in prison at the age of 18 and is now 63; he could be free? this coming month of July???? We don't know yet. You have a nice handwriting and a good pen, Jason! I'm an artist as well, and i'm following a writing course, which I won!
I'll write you a letter, ok? Nice to meeting you, Jason. All the best, from Rita
Hi Jesse, I am going to use a few verses of a song to tell you what I feel (well, my bad english makes me be more creative - I bet you are laughing :) Well although I already know that we do not know well each other, sometimes people have a good feeling to know another and believes that it is important to follow knowing.
You and I must make a pact: I'll reach out my hand to you I'll have faith in all you do. Just call my name and I'll be there. I'll be there to comfort you, Build a world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you. I'll be there with a friendship that's strong, I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on. Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter. Whenever you need me, I'll be there. I'll be there to protect you, With unselfish love that respects you. Just call my name and I'll be there.
It is not an active struggle, I know, but it is a friendship that I offer you.
Hi David, wishing you a Happy Easter! I hope to hear from you, ok? I was celebrating Easter Day with mom; she lives in our capital, Brussels. It was colder today than Christmas day! It still feels like wintertime although spring began, well...

I don´t think you can say that that general way.
