Poverty Insights

warning

Warning: beware of organizations or individuals who believe that fighting poverty includes “population control.” They think, wrongly, that if there were LESS people, there would be MORE food & other resources available for people. They are WRONG. With more people, we have more individuals to help create & sustain infrastructures that can & will alleviate poverty, assist the disabled & elderly, & create good communities. Those in favor of so-called “population control” usually also support abortion & maybe even assisted suicide or other forms of euthanasia . It’s a slippery slope that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of God’s intention for the world.

Re 'homeless' begging at church exit

I Like this church ⛪ but as i was leaving there was an ethnic couple with a child standing by the exit holding a sign asking for help. 

This is NOT the first time I've experienced this at a Catholic Church (elsewhere).  It seems like there's a few people who specifically know exactly what time people will be leaving and they target churchgoers either to guilt them or if you give them something they give you God's blessing as if they are actually superior to you which is an odd feeling: 

  As you're helping them, they're actually acting condescending toward you as if for some reason you're just some schmuck going to church and they're some sort of sophisticated 'survivor' who is closer to God than you -which makes me angry actually - and it also leaves me feeling like these people are scamming me for a handout or  some kind of psychological manipulation rather than  actually being really needy. 

 I handed them two cans of food that I carry for homeless people but once again I didn't feel like I was giving it to somebody who was really so needy but was actually quite savvy 👎. 

Like they decided to go stand by the Catholic church and see if these church people are really very generous or not.  and my question is ARE U REALLY NEEDY OR NOT ? If not,   you are SCAMMING people .

re Scriber Lake Park & homeless, Lynnwood WA

My experience here does NOT match up with the negative reviews i read about homeless & needles etc. I DIDN'T see a single piece of trash. I saw a city worker emptying garbage cans. I saw city workers pouring wood chips on trail. I saw one man fishing. 

By the way, a person may be without a home temporarily but shouldn't be denigrated as 'homeless'. I DON'T get it when people who have EVERYTHING: a home, car, money etc find it necessary to kick people who are down & out. 

Sure, some made bad choices but not always - some are victims too. But if you are somebody who made all the right choices & have never been victimized you should simply be thankful & try to help others out of their bad situation - if not with material things at least thru prayer & encouragement 👍.
