Okay quiet Forum Family it's time to wake up.

It's been a busy summer. Mason is on the move again leaving Washington state and returning home to AZ. What can I say she loves the heat.

It's been a very busy summer for most of us thus far and in a couple weeks we'll be meeting up for our third quarter get-together. This is an article that will be discussed in greater detail during that meeting but let's have all preliminary responses here. I want your basic reaction because after the meeting we will have another activity to add to our portfolios based on this article and the previous one as well.

I have to admit that before I became a Gnostic I didn’t give the homeless people a second thought but now I think it’s a crying shame. I am glad we give like we do and I am so proud of the family in Trenton NJ because that’s real humanitarianism.

Yes some of the stories many of our members tell about the troubles they have seen really makes me cry and question what is really going on. It‘s so heavy, so much. We have to take it step by step and do what we can when we can. But…we do need to get all homeless people off the street immediately and do something about the water situation in flint and anywhere else this may be happening. We need another moral leader like Obama that’s for sure.

I was very emotional reading this article Mark because I have been a homeless youth on several occasions and everything you said hit home. People treated me like a was a disease, a plague, a nasty germ and gave me dirty looks because I was homeless. The world is a cold ugly place and there is very little God to be seen from humans when you are at your lowest. I didn’t even get much help from the church. They gave me food and a blanket but there are so many homeless people. I stopped a woman from being raped in one of the shelters and was glad all of us weren’t thrown out because of the commotion because it was so cold outside. I will never forget how I felt during this time. I went days without food and barely could find clean water to drink. You can’t bath so you don’t smell good and you really don’t want to eat because no one wants you to use their bathrooms and I didn’t want to have to go number 2. It was HELL.

Wow. I am new to the group and this was a heavy article. I also grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth and I have heard some of the stories that some of our Gnostic family members have shared about what they have gone through. I am finally giving thought to what we as a society, do to all members of our society and it’s not a pretty picture. I must say that it is a eye-opening experience to get a glimpse, and it only takes a glimpse, into the dark world to many Americans live in. It is an intolerable world and more attention needs to be paid to how dark that life truly is.

I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth and once we became Gnostics pop started taking us into areas where people don’t live anywhere near to the way we live. It was unbelievable to actually see it and talk to some of them. I’m glad we are talking about starting a worthwhile foundation that will help people who need it most. I think it’s a shame that women and children are being so badly attacked and I want to start a program that helps them specifically, I mean if the government won’t take care of its most vulnerable then we can do it ourselves. Frankly I don’t understand pro-life people and I asked one of my friends who is so against abortion what was worse, ending a pregnancy before the child arrives or having it arrive to live a life in poverty? He just said it’s against God and I asked him if his drinking was godly. I asked him why is that he can tell other people when they aren’t behaving godly and he never personally behaves godly. He knew I was serious and hasn’t said anything else to me about a woman’s right to have an abortion.
