Why the Salvation Army?
Edit:
The Salvation Army teaches that sexual acts should take place only in a monogamous heterosexual marriage, believing that this reflects God’s intentions for sexual behaviour and provides the best environment for raising children.
Oh ok that’s weird
In 2004, the Salvation Army’s New York division was named in a lawsuit filed by 18 current and former employees of its social service arm, claiming that the organisation asked about the religious and sexual habits of employees in programs funded by local and state government. One member claimed the organisation forced them to agree “to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
I see
Getting more involved with them as paid staff is also super culty. They provide you with admittedly nice housing when you get further up the org, but you have to follow puritanical bs otherwise they fire you and kick you out of the housing. This threat also extends to being a whistleblower.
There’s also a lawsuit about them having literal slave labor powering their thrift stores.
Y’all got sources for this? I 100% believe you, I just like to have ammo whenever people try to tell me the SA isn’t that bad.
Cheers!
And the Starvation Army, they play
And they sing and they clap and they pray
'Till they get all your coin on the drum
Then they tell you when you’re on the bum
You will eat by and by
In that glorious land above the sky
Work and pray
Live on hay
You’ll get pie in the sky when you die
- Fragment of The Preacher and The Slave, by Joe Hill. Origin of the phrase “pie in the sky”.
