Really? Are you assuming that the members of the AFF would be selfish, annoyed and unwilling to give? I think you are painting with a broad brush and assuming a lot with this statement.

You assumed quiet a bit in your "The TRUTH is" post, don't you think?

AFF hates greedy, whiny, preachers.

Sis. A,

What I ask of you is to please ignore this thread and this poster. You had ever right to post whatever you want on FB or AFF.

If they are offended then they need to stop reading your posts. It's their issue - not yours.

God bless the Missionaries. They even have more dangerous criminal risks than most in America. (except me when I drive into the hood at night to do home bible studies and hear gunfire)

I hope you didn't take my posts as indicating that I've ever found you offensive. I haven't, I was just trying to present a perspective that I've witnessed, and in the past experienced, in relation to missionaries.

I've yet to see anyone post a need on this forum (and another forum or two) and have regular members respond less than graciously. If you know of an instance, please point it out.

I think you are forgetting that Sister Alvear doesn't belong to an organization that assists her with fundraising. She must do her own fundraising. To an extent, that means many times just swallowing your pride and asking for money point blank.

What exactly is a God complex?

Sister Alvear · #80 09-15-2010, 02:19 PM

Probably the hardest thing I do is make pleas...I have to make myself do it most of the time and remond myself it is 99% of the time NOT for me but for a people that live in dire poverty....Only the Lord knows how I fight within myself to even post at times...I know people laugh at me at times and make jokes...However the cause is greater than my shame....
