A Catholic bishop calls the Mormon Church President Hinckley a holy prophet of God! The age of 'prophets' has long passed... I'll give him 'messenger' status at best... ;) ![]() |

I told her Vatican City was hoarding and the Mormon food program was giving. You may want to do a little more research on the subject... ;) The Catholic church has always been about providing for the needy... The Mormon church has always been about building new temples... ![]() |

Many have turned their backs on Katrina victims, Except the good people of Texas who've opened their hearts and homes to them. Everything else seems to be generated by money. There are some outfits that claim to be collecting money for the area but apparently it isn't enough to get things going again, or the money isn't getting there at all. I see they have concentrated on the cities commercial areas but still have people living in damaged homes and temp mobile shelters. Kuwait gave $25 Million... Other countries have given similar donations.

After Katrina happened, they had a collection after service in my former home-town, Halle, East-Germany. Everyone in church gave as much as they could. Many people even gave as much as their tithing as an offer to the victims of Katrina. Imagine, they spent 10% of their monthly salary to help people they never met, they'll hardly ever meet in their live-time. They just knew there are people in need, let's help them the only way we can. Some who could afford it even offered to buy a flight ticket to help there personally - i don't know though how it worked, because this was the last time I was at the service in my former home-town, and never met these people again (living 500km away from there now).

My Mom is, I am still researching all religions. more Earthship data: http://www.exoticworldart.com/ufodbase/index.php?topic=2174.msg3922#msg3922 "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

My Mom is, I already did several years ago. I think own research is better anyway than just accepting what's told to you. I never just stepped in one's footsteps without previously convincing myself through research that this is the path fitting to me. This often made me be seen as an inconvenient person in former times... Account frozen... |

What I never understood here in Germany:
2. Many people leave these churches because of this relatively small amount of the church tax, though the Bible reads: Mal 3:8-11
