What evidence have you got that (a) the Mafia Rule of the Socialist Democrats was largely orchestrated by Somalian House Representatives, (b) Somalian Gangsters stole billions and the Don of the Biden Mob became extremely rich also, and (c) The protestors are Somalian paid .

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom

I think that's a little bit backwards to be honest. I don't think the Somalian gangsters were the ones that orchestrated anything it was more that those who were in power enabled them to do what they wanted to do. That helped them learn how to get around the government laws and regulations so that they could get kickbacks. Cuz the way of the mafia is not being in the open. They're very much behind closed doors about everything. But they also want to be in a position where they control even if there's another group coming in they're still going to be in control they're just going to take their cut

Why is it an "Exercise in Stupidity" to ask you to validate your claim that "During the Mafia Rule of the Socialist Democrats, largely orchestrated by Somalian House Representatives, Somalian Gangsters stole billions and the Don of the Biden Mob became extremely rich also. The protestors are Somalian paid and have no idea of where this leads.", If you have "News reports" that this happened then alls i'm asking is give me the information on which these reports were based.

Except you live in a worm hole you have seen the reports about the data on the infamous laptop and news reports about the meeting with the Big Guy that was disclosed to the Congress.

Apologies for taking so long in responding to the 2nd part of your posting. I'm sure you're chomping at the bit from my 1st part to you. So have at it dear brother!

I support MSF because they are a specialist medical organisation mainly consisting of Doctors and medical staff. They always seem to be first in and last out of any given crisis, especially the most dangerous ones, i also support Amnesty because of their long experience and effective advocacy on behalf of those facing persecution and other Human Rights abuses. There are a couple of other non Christian organisations i support on an irregular basis, again because of their specialist knowledge or focused advocacy. But in the main i am trying to focus my giving on christian based organisations, but even there it can be a problem, a number of years ago i had an altercation with one Christian charity that was paying there Chief Executive over £130,000 a year. A Christian Charity helping and advocating for the poorest, many of whom are barely surviving on less than a couple of $'s a day paying their CEO £130,000 plus, they either couldnt or didnt want to see the hypocrisy of that situation , or of Christs teachings on Wealth and riches.

You definitely need to check on the organization be it religious or secular in nature before contribution to it. Before I retired I used to donate through the State Government in which they had a site where it would check on non-profits and how much they use of it went to the actual program, vs administrative costs. I've seen some that the administrative spending percentage is larger than what they distribute to the actual program they are supposed to be helping! Disgusting, and yet people still give to them.
As you have seen, just because its religious or secular for that matter there is no guarantee that they are doing with the funds donated they profess to be doing. At least to a percentage that is reasonable. Above 70-80% I'd say would be reasonable, but that's me. lol However, that really isn't the point that I'm trying to show you is it?

For many of those facing poverty and deprivation death is an ever present companion, so save the body, do it in the name of Christ as you say and hope and pray that "they may see your good works and praise your Father in heaven".

That’s the issue, isn’t it? If they never hear, how will they know whom to praise? They will end up praising the offices of organizations that have said nothing about Jesus instead what they have done for them. The belly is filled, but the spirit remains lost.

The real problem, when dealing with the deprivation of a person’s mind, body, and soul, is the opportunity to present the Gospel. What they do with it is between them and God—just as with the two thieves on the cross. Both heard the same message; only one believed. The other remains between him and God. The end result is that they both still died. Selah

“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?” (Romans 10:14)

How will the secular organizations you have donated to know that you are a believer in Jesus Christ, and will they communicate that to those they help? Face to face, your actions might let them see Jesus at work in and through you. Through those organizations they will not. Recipients can just as easily credit the secular group, or any other name like Buddha, Islam, Humanism, instead of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Over the last few weeks we have seen all sorts of protesting going on in various places around the country, but primarily in Minneapolis where it's just gone nuts basically.

But something has come up to my mind after one of the people here posted about how Christians should act, and he used the issue about the protesters in Minneapolis as an example and what they were protesting about. The thing that came to my mind is that the majority of the protesters are paid to protest

That's right they are being paid to protest.

I was watching OAN news, a conservative news station and they had a few Clips on about the protesters in Minneapolis. And I don't think that they caught something that was said but I heard it in one of the clips which was this lady exclaiming to a police officer that she was making $200,000 in a year to protest. I've also heard a few other protesters stating that they were making $80,000 and another saying that they made $120,000 in a year to protest.

I do know that George Soros along with a number of other billionaires who hate President Trump, are funding the protesters. And causing the number of protesters to inflate the actual truth of how many people are really against different things around the country.

So before you are beguiled, or deceived by the media about all these protesters just remember in the back of your mind that a majority of them are being paid to do that and I would honestly believe that they don't even know what their protesting

Click to expand...

A better question is, does this author know anything about protesters? This diatribe is a good example of what happens when someone watches OAN and Faux Noise, instead of reading the NY Times.

I've participated in many protests and even helped organize a few. None of us were paid a dime for protesting or even knew George Soros or cared. And we definitely knew why we protested; why it is anti-Christ and a total lack of morality and compassion to engage in illegal wars of aggression, to ignore the homeless and to take away healthcare and food from the poor and disabled. After all, some of us have actually read the Bible, instead of pretending to be a Christian.
