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 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 👍.
