OK: You are quoting one official you has testified "his opinion" not
substaniated facts. Besides, believe it or not, no one owns the
wrong doing of another. Example: If you decide to go and murder
some one, should the "Yahoo Group Members" stand in judgement for
murder with you?
Absolutely not! It's absurd! Homeless people are homeless for many
reasons. Cronic homelessness is generally based on a few social
impact reasons. Drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness and a
criminal record. These categories of folks have a more difficult
time gaining employment.
Without money, you can not pay for shelter in a normal rental
capacity.
So of course 99.9% od all those going to shelters are people in these
social ills.
So when you say; "Look that guy who slept at the Rescue Mission last
night is a convicted felon!" You're right! 99% of the time.
So your arguement is not revealing anything.
My heart goes out to you and your concerns. I am a missioner, I
don't prefer to work with folks with these types of troubles. I am
called vocationally to do it. It's tough, and many people in a
community don't want you there, even the minister. But there is
absolutely no evidence to substantiate that the minister or the
ministry is manufactoring these problems.
These social problems are society's to own.
You might as well blame McDonald's for having a hiring policy against
one or all of the conditions I mentioned above.
I am not looking to fight about it, I am just trying to tell you -
you are beating a dead horse - with this particular statedgy and
spending a lot of money better applied elsewhere.
How much has Stand Up Asbury spent on this legal fight to date?
