Those are good with fine reputations. But there's lots of warnings
about bogus charities springing up too. I got a call today from some
one for the "Haitian National Relief Fund" , when i heard the
typical "boiler room" in the background, I hung up. But legit or not,
I won't donate over the phone, especially to those who wish credit
card info.
Red Cross, Salvation Army... Why go anywhere else and pay someone to set
up in Haiti when The RC is already there?

Actually the first 4 charities were listed as the best choice for
contributing to Haiti by Charity Navigator, because of there strong
logistical network already in Haiti, and because greater than 94% of the
contributions go to those intended.
Red Cross sucks!
We sent $600 to Red Cross earmarked For Katrina Aid. Later we found out
NONE of it went to the the aforementioned. Red Cross is big business
playing on the sympathy and generosity of the unsuspecting.
There are plenty of worthy charities that do good work with very little
overhead costs. Many of them are religious groups.- Hide quoted text -

Today, the Southern Baptists Association are sending two semi truck
loads of food and various suplies from a three county area to
Florida to be loaded and sent.
No offense, but if I were running a foreign country, the last groups I'd
let in for any reason are fundamentalist religious organizations, and
the southern baptists qualify on all counts. Organizationally, they are
evil incarnate. Note that I am not commenting on individual followers of
that sect.- Hide quoted text -

Burt then again, you're not running a forien coutry, and they have had
missionaries there for years. There's probably more mission run
clinics there in Haiti then any thing supplied by any government
inside, or outside

No offense, but only an idiot would belong to any church, and the
baptists are the worst church in the world.
I hope you were not offended.- Hide quoted text -

No, I'm not offended at all, seeing the church has been ridiculed for
the last 2000+ years? Oh yes, over the ages there have been some bums
that have acted out evil in "Gods name" but over all, there has been
great compassion and humanitarianism that has been spread by "the
church" asking for nothing in return.


You're responding to an ID spoofer.

I'm aware of that, as I have fundie relatives by marriage who have
served stints as missionaries in Central and South America. The primary
goal of fundamentalist missionaries is to spread "the faith," no matter
what else they are doing in those underdeveloped countries. That was the
primary goal of my southern baptist "relatives," one of whom worked as a
nurse at a clinic and the other who worked as a teacher in a little
school. The sickening part was they were working to convert Catholics
into protestants.


Did they help improve peoples health? Did they teach kids to read?
I think that's a bit better than living in desease and ignorance.

Now I could agree with your conversion thoughts if the missionaries
method of "converting" was forced. I really doubt there was any
"forcing" going on. But if you wish to disagree, it's always your
right to be critical.


There's direct and indirect forcing, as I am sure you know.
