Isnt it great how the neo-cons believe that if they just keep saying something over and over it makes it true???
This works in political campaigns but not in real life
Bush is waging war on the middle class
CEO's are getting richer 50 mil bonus for the one at Goldman Sachs, 400 mil retirement package for EXXON's CEO
Hewlett Packards CEO gets fired, her punishment, 28 mil
Donald Trump can declare bankruptcy but someone wiped out in New Orleans cant
The Dollar is at a 14 yr low
Gas has doubled, healthcare has doubled , and wages have gone down all in the last 6 years

You know. I've heard this story 28 years ago when I made a commitment to Yahsha, I've also heard this story or a variation of the 35 years ago when I was attending church but hadn't made a commitment yet. However, we must remember this, IT IS A MADE UP STORY AND DOES NOT REFLECT REALITY. Reality, Until recently our congregation and the Sunday church that we share the building with had a storefront church in the downtown area of a small city. We constaintly had homeless people on the door step. We always invited them in. We always brought food and blankets and second hand jackets we would buy at thrift stores and hats and mittens the women would knit to give them. Very often they would stay for at least a portion of our service and I'm sure at the Sunday service also. The story is flawed because it comes from the standpoint that all Christians are hypocrites when In reality we really aren't. Please do us all a favor. I think this is the third time I've seen this posted on this forum and I'm sure there have been many other times, but this is getting old. If you wish to attack Christians for their belief systems that don't match up with scripture fine but for the most part, I've never been to a church where charity and kindness and love wasn't obviously evident. Get some new ammo. Your powder isn't dry.

There are a great many, and for a wide variety of reasons. I am jobless because I was laid off when I was old enough that competing with younger people for jobs got to be rather unrealistic, and because I have enough health issues and need for "reasonable accommodation" to be a less than ideal candidate for any job for which I might apply. Add to that the fact that I do not have the job seeker's appropriate wardrobe of "nice business attire," and look awful in it when I do. I am morbidly obese and must ask people to fetch a chair without arms at an interview before I can sit down.
But others do not ignore me and turn their backs on me. I have had more kindness and genuine help in this last year than ever before in my life. It is true that the bureaucrats are a darn nuisance to deal with, burdening everyone with tons of paperwork and regulations. But in spite of all that I did manage to get an updated education in computer skills, which was supposed to get me a job. What it will do, I hope, is serve me well as I start my own on-line bookstore.
We have lots of generous people in these mountains, and Valley Churches United (none of the churches are big enough to do the food bank alone) provides turkeys and most, if not all of the trimmings, for the people who have somewhere to cook. Those that do not even have that are fed by other groups on Christmas Day. And lots of charities provide toys and other gifts for children so they don't feel forgotten by Santa.
Come January, it may be a different story, but the volunteers at various organizations provide food all year long, and Mountain Community Services provides a great many other sorts of help, including computers where one can type up a resume and perform on-line searches for job listings.
No, we are not forgotten.

I'm not jobless but I am a legal citizen and pay my taxes and when I need help the government turned their back on me. It sucks to see illegal immigrants driving brand new cars and loading up 2 carts of groceries and I can barely afford half a cart.

More than you would imagine. Ignore the person that rambled about "full employment". Anyone who isn't in the unemployment system isn't considered unemployed.

Very few. We basically have full employment in America. The Bush economy is strong and America is doing better than ever. Now is a great time to be an American.

Unemployment is not that bad however, having money come out of my paycheck to support illegals is a big problem.
