neither bear the shame of the heathen any more."

Redding Charity Turns Down Pot Dispensary's Food
US CA: Record Searchlight (Redding, CA) 06 Nov 2009

A Christian ministry that feeds homeless people in Shasta County is saying "no thanks" to an offer of free food from a medical marijuana collective, much to the chagrin of its co-owner.

"It doesn't make any sense to me," said Joe Munday, who, with his wife, Gina, owns The Green Heart medical marijuana collectives and dispensaries in Anderson, Shasta Lake and Mount Shasta. "Everybody I've told so far about this thinks it's absolutely ridiculous."

Munday, who said his three businesses have been holding food drives for about the past month, called Redding Loaves and Fishes on Wednesday after seeing that organization's TV commercials seeking donations.

He said he eventually spoke on the telephone to a man named Chris, who originally seemed receptive to his offer of the free food.

But, he said, that man called back about 30 minutes later and turned it down.

"He said, 'My pastor and I have been praying on this, and we don't want to accept your food,' " Munday said. continued...

Blasphemy

"In the later times,
some shall speak lies in hypocrisy
commanding to abstain from meats
which God hath created to be
received with thanksgiving of them
which believe and know the truth."

The psychedelic secrets of Santa Claus
by Dana Larsen (18 Dec, 2003)

Modern Christmas traditions are based on ancient mushroom-using shamans.

Although most people see Christmas as a Christian holiday, most of the symbols and icons we associate with Christmas celebrations are actually derived from the shamanistic traditions of the tribal peoples of pre-Christian Northern Europe.

The sacred mushroom of these people was the red and white amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as "fly agaric." These mushrooms are now commonly seen in books of fairy tales, and are usually associated with magic and fairies. This is because they contain potent hallucinogenic compounds, and were used by ancient peoples for insight and transcendental experiences. continued...

Should charities screen their donors and reject aid from inappropriate sources?

Yes. If a shady business is trying to polish its reputation, non-profits shouldn't help them do it.

Maybe, but it makes so sense to turn down donations from a legal medical-marijuana operation trying to be a good neighbor.

No. The poor need all the help they can get.

[Mydriasis]

That is so unchristian...

[stoneric]

So the "lord impressed " on him to say no thanks. Man, fuck this guy. If there is a lord, he'll be impressing something else on this moron come judgement day.

I wonder if he asked the congregation whether or not the offer of help should come with conditions.



I wonder if he asked if anyone in his congregation went to bed with an ache in their empty stomachs because of his political beliefs if it was okay to turn help away.

the crazies will make themselves known with greater and greater fervor until they're left to whimper among themselves

I can't believe that! And then for them to claim they are doing it in the name of God. These people should be ashamed of themselves. No food donations should be turned away. I don't care if its a from a crazy bum who says satan talks to him through radio waves. Like wtf is wrong with people? It breaks my heart to think that some child may go hungry because of the churchs foolish pride. What a shame.

You can believe there are religious nuts out there that say and believe it everyday. My sister is one of them.

We should call and tell him since his church supports the prohibition, then they believe in the government more than they do The Lord. "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me" Therefore, they need to drop to their knees, ask for forgiveness, then repent of their evil and wicked ways. I love telling that to the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, or any other brainwashed "missionaries" who show up at my door.

Wow man, I got me one of those sisters too. My condolences.

I am sure this asshole takes donations from grocery stores which sell alcohol and tobacco products. Maybe somebody needs to remind him that Jesus wore hemp sandals and clothing. In laymen's terms, Genesis 1:12. Seed bearing herbs shall be used for meat. 1st Timothy 1:4. In later times some will speak lies and command you to abstain from meats which come from the Lord. :leaf :
