It's getting to be the time of year to remind people that the #SalvationArmy is a hugely successful #scam. They say you're "totally depraved" and declare that all non-Christians are going to Hell. Unlike many legitimate church-run charities, they don't separate their religious from their charitable activities. https://www.salvationarmy.org/doctrine/doctrines

_The Evening Post_, 24 July 1923:
“SALVATION” WEEK
Major Burton of the Salvation Army is holding a special nine days campaign in the Citadel in Vivian street Notwithstanding the inclement weather the meetings throughout Sunday were well attended.

An Inquiry into the multi-billion dollar employment services system has been running since August last year. Curiously, not a single media outlet in the country is currently covering it.

But i am! Here's a master-thread of the Inquiry's greatest hits

Multiple incidents of criminal activity have led The Salvation Army of Hot Springs to suspend hot food service for two weeks while new procedures are instituted.

Norway, 1988, 2.90 kroner. 100th anniversary of the #SalvationArmy in #Norway. The Frelsesarmeen organization established "slum stations" in Oslo on January 22, 1888, run by "slum sisters". They later expanded services to kindergartens, drug rehabilitation centers, and clothing thrift stores.

Also in my fb memories today, after a particularlyhomophobic visiting preacher the Sunday before:

"Incidentally, the CO of my local #SalvationArmy rang answering my question of whether LGBTQ folk can be soldiers or officers. Soldiers: only if celibate. Officers: not at all. It was a short conversation as she realised I would not be returning. 😣"

Have things changed or improved at all since I left?

This is one of the best music videos of all time. The homecoming scene from Karen Kramer's 1977 documentary "The Jolo Serpent Handlers."

Hi @Reese

Top Three Ways You Can #SupportMe:

1) Don't spread #Misinformation or #Fascist #Memes or #TalkingPoints even if you're mocking them.
2) Don't buy from #Amazon because their #WarehouseWorkers suffer more than double the rate of #WorkplaceAccidents and #WorkplaceInjuries of comperable workers elsewhere
3) Instead of giving money to the #SalvationArmy, give it to actual people in need. SA is a #Church and they refuse to #LGBTQ and other folx they disapprove of.

@yisraeldov @cosmicvoid @genehack With all respect and understanding to those hurt by the #SalvationArmy in the past, I think is is important to note how far they have come and their support *for* (not just standing by and with matching internal policies) for the Gay Conversion ban here in NZ https://www.salvationarmy.org.nz/news/salvation-army-supports-proposed-conversion-practices-prohibition-bill and their public apology https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/7085256/Salvation-Army-apologises-for-anti-gay-stance for the hurt they caused opposing to the 1986 homosexual law reform campaign.

@coleens_ I fight this battle every year during the holidays. I will not, ever, give a penny to the folks ringing those bells everywhere I go. The Salvation Army is no friend to the LGBTQ community, to women, or to anyone who isn't Christian. #SalvationArmy #LGBTQ

My amazing purchase today ❤️ I just love it!

Too late, #SalvationArmy ! You will never get a donation from me ever again for this stunt that you now regret.
