Str8 As`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll I do NOT want to start a debate, I am just curious. If you are NOT a believer, if you hit hard times (e.g. needed food or other support) would you turn to the church for help? If you leave a comment, please be respectful! TIA!

Absolutely! They love to help! It is actually a blessing to others to allow them to help someone. It robs them of joy when people refuse to allow others to help them- it`s a way of expressing a Godly love.

the church I go to provides help for families and I know I can go to my church leaders for help anytime

i would personally feel weird going to the church for help. when i hit hard times i was referred to the church food bank in my area. i didnt use it. for one, i didnt want to take what i didnt need if i could get help from my family (which i did). but the other reason is, im not a devout catholic so going to the church just seemed wrong to me on a personal moral level. while i really do understand the church is there to help all kinds of people of any faith, and i would not look down on others for seeking help, i just felt really guilty thinking about getting food from there. i donate food all through winter now to different churches, but i would still feel really weird.

holly, I agree. The church is supposed to be there for anyone who needs help. The church I belonged to served lunch and provided clothing for whoever needed it. I did not make this poll to judge anyone or anything of that sort. I was just curious to see if a person who says there is no God or Jesus is not real, if they would go to the church for help. No condemnation!!

I see why you would ask this. I was our OutReach Ministry Leader at our old church (before we moved) We voulenteered at a homeless shelter and helped every walk of life you could think of. They didn``t care who helped them they just wanted help. So I would say a lot of people don`t care about what your dressed up as (Minister, Salvation Army, Lion`s Club, Elk, Church etc.) as lng as you give them what they need/want they will take it. As for me, I didn`t care if they shared my faith or not. (I knew I was planting the seed of Life in every person I helped.) :o)

I am a believer, but I have volunteered at food banks and helped with churchs helping the less fortunate. I dont think it matters if you are a believer or not. The churchs help anyone who needs it, regardless of their beliefs, because it is the right thing to do, not because someone thinks differently. At least that is the way it is supposed to be.

  1. Thanks to my twin`s ability to trek down here, my records are straightened out! I will be having my first appointment on February 29th. I will be 10 weeks-ish. Around here that is about when they want to see you. When did you get your first appointment?
  2. What do you think is better (or worse) for kids? TV or video games?
  3. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  4. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  5. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  6. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  7. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  8. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  9. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  10. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
