Mother Teresa. She held me in her arms when i was a baby ( Im from Calcutta) She never acted like she was famous one bit. Everyone saw her walking around the streets helping people all the time. :brokenheart: We need more people like her.
Mother Teresa was a fraud. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction .As a result, she publicly supported policies that led directly to greater suffering among the people she had pledged to help, discouraging the use of prophylactics that could have prevented unwanted pregnancies and slowed the spread of AIDS and other STDs.
Mother Teresa’s Homes of the Dying served only to warehouse the sick in unsanitary conditions until they were too weak to protest against baptism into the Catholic faith. Lets not even get into the atrocities at her homes for the dying. The last thing we need isore people that think suffering is a good thing.
Have you been to India? Have you seen the suffering and horrible conditions? Have you seen people walk up to her crying for help? She walked with my dad one time and on their way she saw a man fallen in the gutter. Without even thinking she bent down and tried to pick him. She couldnt, so my dad lifted him up and took him back with her where she put him on a clean bed and got nurses to clean him feed him.... Im not Catholic...ive seen her work, first hand. ....this comment you wrote is truly poisonous. Have you tried helping people even a fraction of the way she tried?
I've helped people more. I don't belive suffering and pain and death are good things like her. The children strapped down to beds and gagged, the horrible conditions people faced in her homes. Please tell me how they are good things.
ive been in the homes where she took care of the kids. And unlike how the previous poster also thinks...she didnt make it a "business" and no i guarantee you have NEVER helped people the way she has.... ...lol !! no one was ever...gagged or strapped down...you probably read that stuff written by people who already didnt like her.
Ok so all the accounts of others that were in the homes is false. The person I know who's sister died in one of mother Teresa's cesspools is just making up the stuff she saw.
Sorry for your friend's loss. A lot of people she couldnt help or heal died there. Every day. Hundreds were brought in each day. I saw nurses cleaning stuff all day long. Sure there were unclean situations..It is India. But she personally made sure she and the sisters of charity worked hard to try to help everyone. There were people who tried to kill her. There were those who expected her to be perfect. But she never treated people badly. People struggle to survive. Those who died in there already were beyond help. I went in there several times in my life...in teen years and in my 20's and when she died...you should have seen the lines and crowds of people blocking almost ALL the streets in Calcutta just so they could bring flowers to her grave.
You have a few bits of incomplete info. Do not make it into a solid fact.0 -
Umm none of them.... It's unfortunate when anyone dies too young, but celebrities don't need my sympathy. They are just entertainers for the most part. Many are not great contributors to society. Many end up killing themselves one way or another. Are they any more deserving than a bullied kid who was gay and killed himself? The peer pressured girl who died too young due to ED. The animals that get mistreated everyday?
So next time a "celebrity dies" and you're upset about it go out and volunteer or donate cash in their name to an organization that helps improve the human condition. Help out that old lady/man down the street who would appreciate it, but is too proud to ask. Or you could just be... I'm so upset xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx died.0 -
I'm always upset, or at least shocked, when it feels like I grew up watching or listening to someone and I really love them and admire their work. So to new a few :Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, Tina Marie, Michelle Thomas (she played Myra on Family Matters), Merlin Santana (he played Romeo on The Steve Harvey Show), Lamont Bentley (from Moesha), Bernie Mac, Whitney, Chris Kelly (from Kris Kross), Heavy D, The Chrocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Left Eye, Gary Coleman...
RIP to you all!0 -

Yeah sure. Sorry just because people were sad when she died does not make her a good person. Please tell me how some who thinks suffering is a good thing ( which is apparent in her letters) someone who thinks suffering makes you more like Jesus why would someone who belived suffering was a gift from god want to do anything to alleviate it?0 -

Well I can certainly see that. At the young age of 36 I see you have helped a lot. However, I fail to understand how mocking somebody who have helped (admittedly fewer people than you while you worked in retail in Texas, playing on your iPhone, working out on the track) makes them a fraud? I mean I know you have lived a very tough life (what with the phone contract that you're having a hard time getting out of etc) but.. just try to imagine a woman helping out poor kids. That isn't too shabby in my humble opinion.

I almost never get upset over the death of a celebrity that I have no personal connection to. But there was one that really got to me. Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin.
He just seemed to be such a good person, and so committed to conservation and furthering awareness of his causes, I just took it hard when he passed.
He was destined to check out the way he did. He seemed to enjoy living dangerously, but he _was_ entertaining.0 -

Hmmmm well let's see I run the meals on wheels in my town, spend every week at the soup kitchen. Donate half my paycheck EVERY week to a charity. Personally the person that drops change in the little jar at 711 does more good than a woman that belived people should suffer and is ok with dying children being strapped into beds. But hey it was India expect ions are different there right?:huh:0 -

here's an important fact you dont know ...because i do!.....she said , suffering helped her get closer to God, why? because she saw what people were doing to each other, and she knew she had to help. Suffering, broke her heart. Suffering was ultimately a gift from God to her, because she couldnt think about anything else to do with her life, than to go down to a third world country and actually HELP people.
that, is why she thinks suffering was a gift from God to her.
see how you can twist situations into poison...just by incomplete and out of context info?0 -

lol. Seems to me that poison's real problem isn't with Mother Theresa, but with her religion in general. You're attacking things that were her beliefs, not the work she did. You have a problem with Catholicism, take it up with the Pope, but you shouldn't go around calling someone of that calibre a fraud because she believed in something and stuck to it.0 -

yeah and like I said the person that throw their spare change in a jar at 711 does more than she did. or are you ok with sick children being tied to beds,trees ect. oh wait she took millions in donations,(part of which was stolen money) and built homes for them to die horrible deaths in.

Mother Teresa. She held me in her arms when i was a baby ( Im from Calcutta) She never acted like she was famous one bit. Everyone saw her walking around the streets helping people all the time. :brokenheart: We need more people like her.
Mother Teresa was a fraud. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction .As a result, she publicly supported policies that led directly to greater suffering among the people she had pledged to help, discouraging the use of prophylactics that could have prevented unwanted pregnancies and slowed the spread of AIDS and other STDs.
Mother Teresa’s Homes of the Dying served only to warehouse the sick in unsanitary conditions until they were too weak to protest against baptism into the Catholic faith. Lets not even get into the atrocities at her homes for the dying. The last thing we need isore people that think suffering is a good thing.
A real piece of work you are.
well I bought into the myth to until I heard first hand accounts which led me to research the woman a little.0
