like after the tsunami, the numbers coming in are hard for me to get my head around…i was reading about the plight of the elderly and how so many are just waiting to die from lack of water/food. it is heartbreaking.

I was on a call, in a CVS account yesterday. The assistant manager is from Haiti, and sends money back to his family.
He has had no contact with them since the quake, and doesn't have the money to go home.
The store set up a fund for him, for store crew, vendors, and reps in hopes he can return home.
He was working and trying to make calls for contact about his family.
I can't even imagine what he is going through, his eyes were the saddest and heart wrenching I've ever seen.
One day you're talking to your family and the next day, you can't.
Heart breaking!

It brings it home once you can put a personal face on any large scale tragedy, don't you think?

It really does seem worse once you know someone who is from Haiti. One of the caregivers that works for my company is from there, most of her family is here but she has friends there that she hasn't heard from. She was in the office on Friday & she was upset so I talked to her and told her if she needed she could call me anytime.

Scientologists 'heal' Haiti quake victims using touch
Amid the mass of aid agencies piling in to help Haiti quake victims is a batch of Church of Scientology "volunteer ministers", claiming to use the power of touch to reconnect nervous systems.
Really? It always amazes me how many people flood from the woodwork to prey on people in terrible times.

I love the comment from the one US doctor "I didn't know touching could heal gangrene." /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The Scientologists were here after our natural disaster. They were one of the groups that I mentioned in my previous post that got in the way, didn't help and mostly handed out literature.

It's been said that they only show up with their little meters and no supplies. They then get supplies from a relief organization and pass them out as if they are the ones that brought them.

I quite honestly can't speak to this. I didn't see any machines or meters. I also didn't see supplies. Just lots of literature and a table for the healing touch, which they offered to the volunteers. I do know that most of us ran our butts off while they didn't. They just stood there with literature. To be fair, that could be how they feel they can best be of service, though. We all find ways to be of service that seem right to us.

Pat Robertson is such a ****. Let me give you a little background. I am an American Baptist, if you dont know baptists, we are one of the strictest religions here. We arent supposed to drink at all, no music unless its gospel, and even rock gospel is a sin, no dating without a chaperon or holding hands, no anything fun. I was born and raised this way and raised my kids in this religion. Up until one and a half years ago i taught sunday school. Now, I was never a fanatic about it. I drink, I dated, my kids dated. I sort of took from the religion what I wanted and left the craziness out. Anyway, even in this strict religion, we never thought of disasters as punishment for anything. The church leaders and such taught us all that God is not vengeful, God is forgiving. If we thought that Haiti was a satanic country we would have sent people there to try to change their minds, not waited for God to kill them off! Now, my church is raising money to help with the relief effort. What I'm trying to say is, if an American Baptist Church doesnt believe this crap then where the heck did Pat Robertson get it? Out of his own sick mind, to believe that the people of Haiti deserved this is just disgusting. When the EF-5 tornado hit here in 2008, there were people that actually showed up to say that the 8 people that died here, died because Iowa is homosexually friendly. that was salt in the wounds of many so to think that there are 100's of thousands of people dead and some think it was gods vengeance I cant imagine that feeling. the Haiti people need out help now, not some some ****'s judgment.

I have also heard people say that we have homeless and hungry here at home that we dont help, so why are we sending money to Haiti? I say because we are compassionate and caring in the wake of a terrible disaster, and if you want to help the homeless or hungry there is nothing stopping you, go for it. we all have our priorities and why havent you been joining in at the soup kitchens or the food banks if you're so concerned about them?

Frankly, this man should not be allowed to be the mouthpiece for such things.
I am very surprised there is not more outrage in the religious community over this.

I completely agree. The sad thing is … I can almost picture his "followers" shaking their head in agreement with him.
I hope I'm wrong.

Besides him actually uttering the words, the agreement with them is one of the sickest aspects of it.
When speaking to my very fundamental religious supervisor at work, she stated that the only objection to it was WHEN he said it. She contends that he should have waited until all the fervor over the quake died down and then said it.
My jaw just about hit the floor.

I'm speechless.
