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. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  2. When did do you pack your hospital bag?
  3. Regarding Porn on Polls
  4. Went to see Man On A Ledge on Tues.......BRILLIANT!!
  5. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  6. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  7. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  8. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  9. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  10. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
