Chick-Fil-A bowing to the god of mammon!

It is sad to see how much Satan controls Christians. CFA has basically stood alone for almost eight years in this, with Christians claiming "support" because they sometimes buy their sandwiches.

But now with CFA simply planning to spend their charitable dollars with another organization, (they have not changed their stance on SSM one bit) the same Christians are turning on them with a vengeance. And we (Christians) still don't have the slightest clue as to what reasons CFA may have that they haven't first gotten our approval about.

"Yes", it seems we really do believe they have to get our approval about where they spend their charity dollars.

I am both saddened and alarmed at the quick turn about and desire to harm the company

as I said earlier, I don't even care for the menu, but this flip switch so many Christians seem to have is nothing I want anything to do with

I've seen it in churches and in personal relationships

very sad IMO

I honestly believe that if David's slingshot stone had only bounced off Goliath, and he had advanced on David, forcing him back by the sheer force of his size...……. I imagine the same "Christians" that are now turning against CFA, would have also abandoned David...….…………. because he wasn't doing the fighting FOR them...………. the fight that they would not get into, themselves.

I think it has a lot to do with this- cfa opened a location in London, and it was massively protested by the lbgt+ community , and was closed after a short period of time.
that, i.m.o, has a lot to do with this decision.

Well, who else do you see as inciting and orchestrating all this animosity against a small company that has stood up and fought for nearly a decade.... alone. "Christians" want to claim buying some sandwiches is "support." I say it is not.

SUPPORT should show up in the checkbook history of each of those "Christians" in the form of at least a $100 monthly donation to CFA, to help with all the legal costs they have incurred. That would amount to each one of the complainers having donated about $8,500 to date, in order to "support" CFA.

I seriously doubt you will find the amount of $5 donated, in all that time, by even ONE of the people attacking them today.

I’m not referring to that. I’m referring to your belief that the Enemy controls Christians. You fail to give the Holy Spirit due credit.

Are you saying it is The Holy Spirit that has turned all these "Christians" against CFA because they are going to support other organizations?

That’s free will. And you’re putting quotes around the word Christians does not devalue them in the eyes of God.

I think you're right, that is part of it. Salvation Army responded to CFA

"We serve more than 23 million individuals a year, including those in the LGBTQ+ community," a Salvation Army spokesperson said in a statement. "In fact, we believe we are the largest provider of poverty relief to the LGBTQ+ population."
"When misinformation is perpetuated without fact, our ability to serve those in need, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or any other factor, is at risk," a Salvation Army spokesperson said in a statement. "We urge the public to seek the truth before rushing to ill-informed judgment and greatly appreciate those partners and donors who ensure that anyone who needs our help feels safe and comfortable to come through our doors."

The Salvation Army has been targeted by LGBT groups heading into Christmas with their red kettles. They are telling people not to support the SA. A great time for CFA to pull their support.

Propaganda.

 

[melita916]

while Christians can rely on the Holy Spirit, the question might be 'can the Holy Spirit rely on them?'

as it is, as far as the devil goes, we are told he prowls around looking for lunch...Christians on the menu

planting the seeds of doubt and deception can be more effective than outright control

self control is what is asked of us though

1.) "taking it on the chin" is backlash CFA received when the COO was public with his PERSONAL beliefs of gay marriage
2.) The same "news" article quotes: "clear about who we are". They are a business franchise in a capitalistic world first and foremost... who happen to have INDIVIDUALS who are conservative Christian. This does not mean the business model of CFA is a direct reflection of said individuals personal ideology. This isn't a company that is in the business of LGBTQ or any other social issue. They are there to make money at the end of the day.
3.) A corporation can be neutral on issues but the people running the corporation are free to have their own personal beliefs/opinions and not be neutral. It's okay to compartmentalize the person from the corporation.

If I was an electrician in San Francisco, I wouldn't make"homosexuality is an abomination unto the Lord" as my business motto. I mean, I believe it is personally... I suppose many of you on your high horses would call me a sellout or question my Christianhood because I wouldn't mix my PERSONAL views with my BUSINESS practice. When you have your own business, run it how you want. Let other people run their business how they want. If you want to cry, take your ball and go home... Chances are CFA knew there would be many people like you and are okay with losing out on your business. They fulfilled their agreement with the other charities and are now targeting other areas with their donations... Oh those terrible Sodomite supporters!

You, Sir, are obviously one of the wisest people on this forum. It is rare to read honesty rather than emotion.

however, would you be willing to lose business if someone asked you to publicly state your beliefs ?

I mean, I agree, you do not have to have your beliefs printed on side of your van if you were in san fran, but, if asked, would you state your beliefs?

I would be willing to lose business PERSONALLY. I'd just state "I'm a Christian who believes the bible to be the inspired word of God." However, I'd state, "My business employs atheists and other faiths... as such, my business model is not a reflection of my personal views." If people want to take their ball and go home because I'm a human being and think for myself... so be it. That's what many Christians seem to be doing here.

I remember when CFA was under attack when the COO stated his PERSONAL views. Is a person not entitled to personal beliefs because he/she happens to run a corporation? Should we automatically tie a person's personal views with an entity that includes far more than just one person (and their views)? Should a corporations stance, be it positive negative or neutral, blanket EVERY person who works for that company? Many Democrats and Republicans are such hypocrites when it comes to this.

Chick-fil-A Caves to the Left


Posted by John Hinderaker | Nov 18, 2019 |


...."In an interview with Bisnow, Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos announced that the famous fried chicken chain plans to make significant changes in which charities it donates to, in part because “as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are.” Amid continued boycotts of the highly popular and successful chain over its donations to supposed “anti-LGBT” groups and causes, Tassopoulos revealed that the company’s foundation will no longer donate to some high-profile Christian organizations.
***
“As Chick-fil-A expands globally and into more liberal parts of the U.S., the chicken chain plans to change which charities it donates to after years of bad press and protests from the LGBT community,” Bisnow reported Monday. “Beginning next year, Chick-fil-A will move away from its current philanthropic structure, Bisnow has learned. After donating to more than 300 charitable organizations this year, the Atlanta-based fast-food chain will instead focus on three initiatives with one accompanying charity each: education, homelessness and hunger.”
***

(Sic)"...It’s too bad: it isn’t as though the dimwitted left-wing Chick-fil-A boycotts hurt sales. On the contrary, Chick-fil-A is America’s fastest-growing restaurant chain. So the company’s caving in to the far Left wasn’t, apparently, an economic decision. Maybe it is another instance of corporate executives caring more about their standing within their peer group than about the well-being of the organization they lead, a phenomenon that Glenn Reynolds has described many times.
With its new, more narrowed approach to charitable donations, the company’s charitable actions “will no longer include donating to organizations like the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home,” Bisnow reports. " " []

How much more Christian can CF be? I would like to see every company follow that example.
