If anyone is interested.

It's 5% of purchases made through the gay group's website.

So you could buy on Walmart.com without supporting the gay group in any way.

I think it says you CAN'T shop without supporting it. It says--


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To Homosexual Group"[/FONT]

We already saw from what happen last month that us shopping there supports many of the causes for this group

 

[Questioning Christian]

What are y'all getting in a fuss about? Before Wal-Mart did this, they were ALREADY selling millions of cd's by Clay Aiken, Barry Manilow, Elton John, New Kids On The Block, and Backstreet Boys.

And don't forget Tom Cruise movies!

Don't kid yourself, folks - Wal-Mart's been supporting the gay community for a very long time.

No fuss. I could really care less if you sign it. I did. It was discussed here, and I saw this petition, thought it might be of interest to some, and posted. Do you object?

Most people didnt know it though

I'm sorry. My attempt at humor was both poor and misunderstood

 

[msbojingles]

Wellllllll it goes without saying that *I* already signed it..LOL

yeah I was going ... I didnt know that!
But I dont keep up with them. You never know

I didn't realize that Wal-Mart was supporting the gay movement with money! That shocked me! But, this is only with on-line sales, right? I will not know what to do without Wal-Mart, I am there almost every day! I think anymore, most big companies do support anything liberal anymore.

As for Tom Cruise, I thought that was why Rosie O'Donnell had such a crush on him! Who's baby is it anyways? I thought Tom couldn't have kids. hmmmm. Maybe another publicity stunt, never know with Hollywood anymore.

That headline was written to cause outrage and motivate you a certain way.

That doesn't change the truth, though.

I'd also like to point out that the gay gorup is using Walmart.com's Affiliate Program, which anyone can sign up for.

It is available here:
http://www.walmart.com/affiliate/aff_home.html

And when you refer people to buy from Walmart.com, you get 5% of their purchase.

Your church could sign up for it, put it on its website, and then you can circulate headlines all around saying

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To CHURCH!"

So in other words, this public relations fiasco is another example of why Christians are perceived as misinformed and easy to manipulate.

Bottom line. As long as it's against gay people, we're all for it! Hate them gays. That's where we draw the line!

jk

Every purchase made online for books, music, videos, clothing and accessories, children's clothing and toys, and electronics at the site will automatically send 5% of the sales to the homosexual group.

this says every purchase made online. So then you could go to the store and be fine.

... as long as you don't buy a Tom Cruise movie.

Petition won't work because with them, MONEY talks, not petition. If you don't like Walmart, don't shop. That is where they are hurt the most. However, people rather save money, they will shop there regardless. Talk about hyprocrites.

Yet another example where "christians" will deceive to push their own *religious* views . I trust articles by christians less and less because they manipulate a few facts to get an emotional reaction that has nothing to do with truth or importance - aimed at sheep .

Ever notice how the majority of fundamentalist evangelical Christianity is spent in protest of something? It's like we define our religious experience based on what we are mad about!

You can't get the religious right together on POSITIVE issues like prayer, but let a Terri Schiavo come along, or the Defense Of Marriage Amendment [something where Christians can get angry and mad] and the Christians come out of the woodwork in protest.

I don't think Jesus walked around waiting for something to get mad about before He'd get motivated. But the Christians, however, can't get a fire lit under them unless they're MAD about something.

Yet the Bible says it was COMPASSION that moved Jesus.

Type this phrase in Google, "Jesus was moved with compassion", and you get 3210 entries.

Type this phrase in Google, "Jesus was moved with anger", and you get 258 entries.

Basically, there are 12.44 times as many Google entries about the compassion of Jesus, to every ONE Google entry about his anger. I know that Google's not Scripture, but it sure says something about Jesus.

I dont think its just online . Last month and before that they supported some of their big things and it didnt say anything about online. If they regularly support them, it really doesnt matter. What they make they use to go to them.
