					<description><![CDATA[Using kids - orphans - for fake promotion of a group that is esentially doing nothing for them is sick and self-serving. But then again, the CoS demonstrates a lack of decent perspective of children in the first place, as evidenced by their recruitment, child labor and wrecking affinity within families. The executives at the CoS Religious Trust need to climb down from the high horses they are sitting on. A piece of paper is a piece of paper. Did they think their commendation was going to be framed and hung on the wall, and this is deserving of a press release? Perhaps they rationalize their trite effort of &quot;helping&quot; in the form of a commendation that someone will read about it and then donate money to the orphanage. Not that the CoS would. Ever.]]></description>

Mother Theresa did praise the Duvalier family and their regime in exchange for cash. She also did the same for other dictators and at least one american scammer. This is amply documented.

Perhaps she was unaware of who these people were, but that is doubtful, as she did not give the money back when informed of who they were. 

As for how much help she provided, I would suggest you talk a little bit with Bengalis, most especially residents of Kolkota. And please don&#039;t listen to those white people who like to pretend Asians don&#039;t need painkillers - the vast majority of my friends are south east Asians and I can assure you that, like most humans, they most definitely prefer not to have pain. The culture that drives the absence of pain relief over there has much more to do with Catholicism than with any of the many cultures which exist in India - and I say this as a lapsed (or bitter defrocked, lol) Catholic. 

It&#039;s easy for us in the west to disregard (and not ask questions about) what kind of &quot;help&quot; is truly given to those in need with our money. Those people do not have a voice, and when they complain, we are quick to call them ingrates - this is what, BTW, enables outfits like the VM to continue to get money doing essentially nothing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/world-orphan-day-celebration-scientology-style/#comment-151655&quot;&gt;zemooo&lt;/a&gt;.

Zemoo: I have to take issue with the way you wrote 

 &quot;... Bill and Hillary Clinton collected large amounts for Haiti’s relief, but I have never searched for any real rebuilding that that their ‘charity’ did. 
The clampire is not alone in playing donors for fools.....&quot;
 
This infers that the Clinton Foundation cheated donors who gave donations for Hawaii but yet you say you have not looked to see if it is true or not.  It appears to be based on what the Trump campaign and Breitbart were spouting back in the summer.  I would  not consider this a credible source for discussion here. The Washington Post did a fact checking on this product of the Trump Truth Thinktank which was found to be unfounded. The Annenberg public policy center&#039;s factcheck.org concluded that similar accusations from Mike Pence were unsupported.

kemist&#039;s comment about M. Teresa may also be in this category, I don&#039;t know, but there is hard evidence that this woman, no matter how controversial, did a lot of good in this world which is more than we can say about Scientology&#039;s  Volunteer Posers.

There are enough provable destructive practices in the COS to cover a journalist working for many lifetimes.  So let&#039;s stay away from what is now being called the false news business and the game of repeating it enough times that it becomes &quot;true&quot;.]]></description>

And that my friend is the governing factor of what is good or bad about Scientology or anything else for that matter - good judgement.
I too have parted ways with many people and they me over my lifetime. It&#039;s a natural solution, some were good choices, some silly, and some just plain selfish and others mean-hearted (&#038; regretted for the most part). I know I&#039;m not perfect - there is no standard me to aspire to. Scientology got it  wrong with many things but not all. The fact they believe they are incapable of mistakes makes them very wrong indeed.]]></description>
