Former Catholic Sister Says Even Mother Teresa Is a Fraud

True enough.. That and I do not recall a single time she strapped explosives to her person and ....

 

I don't believe she ever had a phallic shaped device near her, did she?

 

okay, i am from calcutta and actually met Mother Teresa. She was NOT a fraud. I saw the kind of life she lived and the kind of people she helped. In india, most people try to get into politics, she did not even endorse a political party. and even though she was catholic, she helped people of all religions. any good that she did should be affiliated to her only and not the church.

she did make a few decisions that were not very good, but they were well intentioned. those mistakes should also be attributed to her, not the church. but please don't endorse such nonsense about her being a fraud unless you know the reality behind the lady.

 

Briant could never live up to what mother Theresa did. He probably wouldn't help one person let alone people with diseases. I am not to fond of the catholic church, but mother Theresa lived out her faith more than most people will ever come close to. I think she had more joy in her life than 99% of the people of the world will ever have for even a day.

Yet she didn't blow up anyone - what a concept!

 

anyone notice that OP Briant got made a laughing stock over this thread and has not put his snotty nose back in here.

 

He'll be back, he has no pride or any character left anyways.

 

Yep. Only the message matters to him. He doesn't care about honesty or integrity.

 

There is a pattern here.. Either start a nonsense thread, hoping it will herd the sheep, or drop into an existing thread and do the same... This is usually the MO of AGS and Gworld.. Sadly, it never works. It just wastes people's time.

 

Dunno about Muslims.. But being in RSS, I read a study about Hindus being converted to Christianity.. Mostly that convert/ed are/were coming from the lower cast and Tribes, being a hindu doesnt give them anything, they arent allowed to go to temples, they are economically backward and without any job..

Missionaries Give them money and opportunity to make a living upon conversion. They get respect. They get everything they didnt have when they were hindu. and its good for them... We have no rights to question that unless we provide equal status to them...

PS: And at least they dont convert on the edge of a sword..

 

here are the negatives of Mother Teresa:
- She gave a lot of free stuff to the poor, so they started to take advantage of her. didn't want to work and whatever they got, they sold for money.

i worked with her and used to see that happen. all she said was, "it is up to me to help them. what they do is up to them"

- She accepted money from anybody and everybody. including the mob. she got a bit of flack for that.

Here are a couple of positives that you didnt know:
- she didnt insist on conversion. so if she picked up a hindu or a muslim, and they died of sickness, they would be given funeral rites according to their own religions. hindus were cremated, muslims were buried.

- she knew how to ask for money. she didn't feel intimidated to go to the CEO's or presidents of a company during work hours and ask for money. and at the end of it all, they used to thank her for coming over.

even though she went to people with hands joined, she never begged. i wish her other nuns would learn that. they always beg for money. its degrading.

i have to say this though. her nuns are not very good. they are not as kind to people as she was. they act like they are doing the poor a favor. Mother Teresa was genuine and loved unconditionally.

i could go on and on about this woman. she was by far the most fantastic person i have had the pleasure of meeting. i was even there when Princess Diana visited her, and tell you what, that was the one time i saw somebody steal the spotlight away from Diana.

 

I don't want to argue if it's good or bad to give free money to the poor, but it has nothing to do with the Bible. I don't believe there is any support of it in Bible. It has plenty of advice on earning a living and making money, but not much about redistribution of wealth from wealthy to poor.
She was more of a Socialist than Christian

 

Yep. Jesus was all about money and babes.

 

well, this is how she related it to the bible. she said that god wanted us to love all human beings. she loved all human being and as part of that love, she helped the needy.

i don't look at her as a christian. i look at her as a humanitarian.

and just to clarify, she gave the poor a place to stay, and groceries, but NEVER money.If they needed something, she'd hook them up. but never give them any money because she knew that they would waste it. she was a lot more street smart that people realize.

 

Well I disagree with it. I wonder where she got it from. God is pretty strict, even violent. Things like stoning or otherwise punishing pedophiles and adulterers, Armageddon, etc. He is pretty clear that if you don't follow his laws, he'll kill you. I don't buy into the 'God loves you' concept that Catolic church promotes

Makes sense to me...

 

i think the violence comes more from the old testament. the new testament talks about the teachings of christ and he always professed peace.

 

They conveniently do not have the figures for Vatican City on that site.

 

Yes it's all a big conspiracy.

 

Let's all dance on the grave of a symbol of hope.

...Humans. Bah.

 

It's not a human thing, it's a liberal thing... It's really sad, because being liberal usually meant being understanding, not insensitive.

 

ive read a lot of stuff, MT wasnt the best person
