Church groups begging for money at red lights

When did it become ok in our society for church groups to stand at red lights with children and run up to your car and beg you for money for a church trip? When did we forget to teach our children that they could go work and earn the trip that they so desperately want to go on instead of having some stranger pay for it that you begged for it. They acted like I was a dick when I told them to move along and I wasn't giving them anything. Our society is going to shite morals, hard work, and ethics are no longer being taught to children. Where did we go wrong in the past 10 years?

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

My church used to sell plate lunches and wash cars and stuff to raise money for our trips. Sure, a lot of donations came in from the congregation but we never shook down the general public.

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

you see it as begging some see it as working.
Posted on 8/23/15 at 6:36 pm to Shaqstrodamus
I don't think any group should be allowed to do that...it is dangerous...

A Church should NEVER have to beg for donations for a trip. That is what the 10% of your income offering income does.

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

It's really not, but those groups are typically very identifiable organizations. The "church groups" I always see look like anything but an identifiable organization.
I'll give money to a youth sports team, KCs or Kiwanis club. The groups I see, not so much.

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

seems dangerous with all the distracted drivers these days

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.

Thats bullshite. I will pay 8 bucks an hour if they come pull weeds in my flowerbeds.

Of course, however I think a better message to send the kids would be to have them volunteer with their parents or whoever to just do the things you said for free. I don't get it. That's why I'm skeptical.

Sidebar question: Do youth sports leagues who do this have to pay taxes on the money received?
Posted on 8/23/15 at 7:06 pm to Shaqstrodamus
I've never seen church groups do it. It's always little league football teams, fire departments, and Shriners here.
Posted on 8/23/15 at 7:11 pm to Shaqstrodamus
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've always thought the shite is a scam, you know they are lining their pockets with that change.
