Highland Park Baptist Church has established a fund for victims of their former youth minister Jeff Eddie. The fund is to cover counseling for not only Eddie's actual victims, but also family of the victims. The location of these accounts was made public in a TimesDaily article. In other words, you the readers now know how to donate.
Perhaps the important question is should you donate? We firmly believe any individual has the right to donate to any legal entity they choose. Do you give to the United Way to help those in need locally or do you give to Deep Fat to help the Minnesota orphans? Tough decision sometimes.
We're not going to tell any readers whether they should donate or not. We do have reservations about this church even suggesting a donation. What if Muscle Shoals Utilities had an employee who sexually abused young people while on the payroll? Should the city utility ask for donations to help with counseling of their employee's targets?
Is Shoalanda personally going to give any funds to this cause? No. Whether any readers do or not is up to them.

This may be the first posting on this blog ever that I agree 100% with. Check out this "churches" facebook page. Prior to this scandal being exposed they were announcing plans for a huge new building and begging for money from the parishoners. If all these Baptist can afford the giant monuments they love to build that they call churches, why can't they provide counseling for victims of abuse and their families that were at the hands of one of THEIR OWN ministers!
ReplyDeleteUnited Way? I find it hard to give money to an outfit who has a CEO making over an annual salary of over one million dollars.
ReplyDeleteWe agree on that also; however, I've personally worked where giving was "mandatory."
DeleteMe, too, years ago. Only one bucked that goal set by the brass of 100% employee contribution. Wish I'd know she was brave enough to to that...I may have joined her way back then. I definitely would not contribute now.
DeleteWhoever shoalanda is, you are an attention whore. You simply live your life trying to have an opinion on everything when most of the time you have no idea what you're talking about. You were probably one of those people who had no friends or anybody to talk to so you use a site like this because you think people care. The people who agree with you are the people who don't have common sense and can't think for themselves. If you want to give, then give. If you don't want to give, then don't give. Shoalanda is a fake and only wants to stir the pot. All you are doing is pandering to stupid, uneducated people.
ReplyDeleteSo you're reading (and took the time to set up an account to reply to this particular blog) because?
