Church groups begging for money at red lights

This is not new. Throw them a few bones.

Those rock church coffee shops aren't going to just build themselves.

How is that any different from Kiwanis clubs or youth softball teams?

I don't think any group should be allowed to do that...it is dangerous...

I have some things around the outside of my house that I'd gladly pay people to do. People should work for money.

no different than the guy who ask you for "gas" money at the pumps. imho

forgive me for being skeptical. I've never seen something like that. Surely this isn't common?

A church group begging for money? I mean it's just so hard to comprehend. I'd think any and all church groups would recognize the Big Man as the provider and wouldn't misunderstand the gospel so harshly. i have a feeling there's more to the story.

It's normally travel ball teams, public school sports teams, or fireman that do it here

I don't give to any of them

I give them a prayer card and/or a fish

In Dallas the firemen ask for change one week a year, maybe two six months apart. I gladly give them some change. There is a men's shelter that's sponsored by a church that I've also given to a couple of times. I wish the shelter people would do this somewhere besides the frontage road of I-35 because it is dangerous.

I've never seen kids do this.

My company reached a point where they quit allowing the sale of Girl Scout cookies, or anything else for people's kids, within the office. People have to go down to the parking lot and do the ordering, paying and the delivering. Been that way for at least a decade. Seems some people complained about it going on so much.
