i am always curious and i am not really planning on asking for donations or any sort but i've been planning to ask for this silly question(´︶`)

Asking blood from turnips?

Is your cause so poor that your community where you live won't contribute?

Why is it that people who know you won't contribute but strangers on the internet will?

Or do you not know people in your community? Why not?

This is very very troubling...in the same shoes as a scam artist. Why would you do that to yourself?

Some people when they really need it. perhaps won't ask for money/help from others out of foolish pride. At the other extreme probably more common these days some people will ask for money out of selfishness and laziness. Somewhere in between is where we should find ourselves as God leads us. The problem with many people, as I see it, is that they are not following God's lead but their own flesh even though they bear the label of Christian.

Why do people not take that middle road behind or with God? Either they have not really met the Master although they may put on an act to that effect or they have met the Lord, but have got into the bad habit of quenching the Spirit.

People young in the Lord may be given a bit more time by God, but for some who has supposedly been serving God for many years where is the excuse that excuses them? They need to seek God for the answer and the solution... if they really love Him and want to please Him above all else!

There are a lot of scammers out there who think that Americans are well off and may just join this forum to scam them out of their well earned money. Well we have alleviated that problem. Also, and this is before my time, there use to be a donation button on this forum and a certain person donated but when that person felt she/he was not getting their way, they demanded all their donations back with a threat of legal action. I doubt anyone here wants to go through that kind of rigmarole....

God would really have to lead me to give to someone online. Just because there are many who would take advantage of that sadly and it takes quite a bit of discernment. Some areas do not have a lot of community resources though. Have you tried looking up any place in your area that could help? Like a work center could help you find money to pay bills and stuff until you got on your feet.

There's many people who claim they are fundraising for worthwhile charities but only give a portion of a penny on the dollar they received to the charity they are fundraising for...

Charities have become one of the biggest scams these days.

it's nothing more than just a question i may not have the wealth but i do not grab anyone's money for myself but instead leave it there or tell people about it i do not really plan on asking for money but i really wanted to ask these very unusual questions curious how people will respond if they can't see this wordsi haven't done so and not planning to do so....

You are making yourself look like a liar and thief of God's money...
That's not a good idea...ever.

You may not be...but without a lot of research it's not a good idea to give money online to anyone.

I have given lots...but then I have visited these people while they are working in their perspective mission fields and know precisely the needs they have.

Fair enough. Internet wise, this is your best route to research these things online. Or ask for help looking though.

I wondered if this was just a topic. But this is my true response. Id want to first help someone learn how to fish rather then just get a fish for today. But unless I get a strong leading, I prefer not to give online.

I have thought about sowing some into the forums. I spend a lot of time on these and am grateful for them.

I really need a budgeting class the Christian way lesson. And how to stick to one. Lol especially if the nation is turning socialist.

He @stredaleve is a fellow trying to direct himself more fully directed toward God, but with some severe problems as all of us have or have had severe problems. He is seeking more answers about God and the people of God. Let us all be kind and help as we can when we can... and I am not talking about money.

Give God the glory!
