Question:
Dear Herman, Amnesty International is not without its faults, but it does a lot of good for prisoners of conscience. Satan holds all prisoners of conscience, and Jesus is the only key to unlock the door. Such being the case, AI is a waste of time and effort.
If we had more Xians like you there would be less Xians. What a waste of oxygen you are. XXIII IDIOT, n. A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot’s activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line. Ambrose Bierce
Response:
Dear Herman, Amnesty International is not without its faults, but it does a lot of good for prisoners of conscience. It does absolutely no good. It is purely and 100% a protest and anti-Christian organization. If someone gets a peice of bread it is as a side effect not a purpose. Only the spiritually ignorant follow their cause. Prisoners of conscience is an oxymoron only understood by morons.

Lewis pointed out that if a person was hungry, you needed a cook, not a Christian. He had his off days, too. When Amnesty International helps those in need around the world, I hope there are more than just a few Christians present. I hope there aren’t any present. It would be just one more sign of the growing apostasy. It won’t be a good witness if we Christians are away without leave. After all, it is Christ we serve when we help the downtrodden. It is Christ we serve when we help the downtrodden "in the name of Christ," not in the name of the world. Amnesty International would no more recognize Jesus as the one and only savior of the world than any other political organization (which is what AI really is.) A three-part Christian mission feeds the belly (feed my sheep), the mind (feed my lambs), and the spirit with the gospel of Jesus Christ (feed my sheep). Anything else is just men soothing their egos. I realize that we need to be careful with whom we work, in the sense that a Christian would not want to support the work of any organization which is anti-Christian. Which is what AI is: antichristian. Have you not read their positions on "prisoners of conscious." By their definition, Christians are jailers, not saviors. And their universalistic tripe smacks of Babylonianism, the infusion of "all-religions," as opposed to the exclusivity of the gospel: There is NO other name under heaven by which men can be saved except Jesus. So, unless there is clear, unrefutable evidence that Amnesty International wants to overturn Christianity, one should look upon this organization as *one* route to serve Christ in serving others. When you do this who knows how your witness will impress others? Benedictus Dominus Deus, Bob Chapman I should have known it was a Catholic writing this crap.

To each his own. If you specifically want to support a Christian relief organization, you can support World Vision. To see where your money goes,see below:
Give to you local church If you feel strongly that your donations should not be used to spread any religion, then Save our Children, would probably fit your bill. They are specifically non religious, and tell you when you sponsor a child not to write anything about your religion. See where your money goes on: Also, CARE, see where your money goes:
Not where you intend except in your mind. Amnesty International operates primarily as a human rights organization, and not a relief organization – see where your money goes at:
It isn’t any rights just anti whatever. Whoever you choose, I see no harm in helping to end suffering.
Giving to fake or overorganized groups only helps end your suffering greedy conscience. There are tens of thousands of oportunities in any area DIRECTLY, no middle man, no scamming, no skimming. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

I think you’ll notice that Jesus ministry during his time on Earth was almost entirely spent helping the outcast, the downcast and the downtrodden. Through Amnesty international we have an opportunity to do likewise, I think that is something in common. What’s this garbage doing in these newsgroups? eickman
You have a hard heart, Eickman. Without practical action, both Faith and Love are meaningless. Although this should be self evident, you can go and read the book of James cover to cover if you need scriptual backup. Rico.

Your agenda is the world. Our agenda is the kingdom of God.
You blind rat, The Agenda of Amnesty International is *people*, and *people* are what God loves. If all *your* good deeds come out of a wish to be rewarded in the hereafter, then you are a greedy individual with no true love. James 2:14-17 "What good is it, my Brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well, keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if not accompanied by actions, is dead." You would apparently have the people that Amnesty International helps left alone rather than helped by people who aren’t nesescarily Christians. Perhaps the Samaritan in the parable should have left the robbed man to die, after all the Samaritan was neither Jew nor Christian. We have nothing in common.
I think you are right. You have yet to show yourself as anything more than a hollow gong. Rico.

Please pledge your support for the rights of everyone…including *’the least of our brothers’ To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Amnesty International is collecting signatures for a pledge to support this very important United Nations declaration. Amnesty already has 3 million signatures (real and virtual) world wide, and wants 8 million (which would be a significant proportion of the world’s population of around 6 billion). The UN Secretary General has agreed to be present to receive the pledge as a tangible statement of the people of the world’s commitment to an international agenda of human rights. <Amnesty offers the opportunity to sign up via the Internet. <http://rights.amnesty.org/ *"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me,I was in prison and you came to me… Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’" (Matt. 25:36,40) PLEASE PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT AND SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. Thank you for your time and consideration.
