There was a website I remember a few years ago that mailed out little cards to put in the SA buckets that said something like "this could have been a donation if..."
Does anyone remember these or know if they're still available anywhere?

I don't know how much of the money donated to the Salvation Army goes to donations, and how much goes to administration

That is why I'm more comfortable with their Angel program or other charities that let you donate items rather than money. I would rather give a winter coat to someone who may not have one than pay someone's salary.

Whenever anyone throws out the "theological" crap I like to point them to the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves":

Azeem: Salaam, little one.
Small Girl: Did God paint you?
Azeem: Did God paint me? For certain.
Small Girl: Why?
Azeem: Because Allah loves wondrous varieties.


That's the way I like to think about it. God created us all.

The only good thing I can say about those annoying bell ringers is that they don't ask people personally for donations. They just ring their bells and if you want to give you can give.

Although a part of me would love for them to ask me so I could tell to go to hell and bask in their shocked reaction.

Amen MM. Me too. And this year I'm also giving to The Trevor Project and the ASPCA.

I also help run a food drive every year the homeless to have Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.

But the Salvation Army can stick it where the sun don't shine.

Salvation Army's official position (according to their website)

Homosexuality

The Salvation Army holds a positive view of human sexuality. Where a man and a woman love each other, sexual intimacy is understood as a gift of God to be enjoyed within the context of heterosexual marriage. However, in the Christian view, sexual intimacy is not essential to a healthy, full, and rich life. Apart from marriage, the scriptural standard is celibacy.

Sexual attraction to the same sex is a matter of profound complexity. Whatever the causes may be, attempts to deny its reality or to marginalize those of a same-sex orientation have not been helpful. The Salvation Army does not consider same-sex orientation blameworthy in itself. Homosexual conduct, like heterosexual conduct, requires individual responsibility and must be guided by the light of scriptural teaching.

Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex. The Salvation Army believes, therefore, that Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life. There is no scriptural support for same-sex unions as equal to, or as an alternative to, heterosexual marriage.

Likewise, there is no scriptural support for demeaning or mistreating anyone for reason of his or her sexual orientation. The Salvation Army opposes any such abuse.

In keeping with these convictions, the services of The Salvation Army are available to all who qualify, without regard to sexual orientation. The fellowship of Salvation Army worship is open to all sincere seekers of faith in Christ, and membership in The Salvation Army church body is open to all who confess Christ as Savior and who accept and abide by The Salvation Army's doctrine and discipline.
