As a last option, always.<br /><br />The best leaders lead by example; Jones, if he accurately estimates the scope of the need for food, should himself be spearheading the charitable giving to those in the community in need of sustenance. Lecturing is a great way to disseminate the information to the congregation, but reinforcing the lecture with action would have a multiplicative return.<br /><br />Furthermore, knowing that the larger chain-retailers have anti-shoplifting measures in place, is Jones willing to accept the consequences of congregation members experiencing additional hardships for being caught attempting to do so? The state has made it quite clear that they have no sense of humor regarding his advice.<br /><br />Given the circumstances, I'm willing to believe that Jones just jammed his foot in his mouth, but given the responsibility he bears at the pulpit, Jones should be more mindful of his recommendations.Something Feralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261865342856981862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463182841766238227.post-64612012869851744412009-12-28T06:24:33.715-08:002009-12-28T06:24:33.715-08:00In his defense, it was always legal in Israel for ...In his defense, it was always legal in Israel for the poor to steal some food to eat, and he basically referenced that caveat when he said that the only way to justify it would be to take what you need **for survival**.<br /><br />Still, he should have spent his time lecturing his congregation on charity.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138360416884607340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463182841766238227.post-83265194553697965322009-12-24T12:56:28.344-08:002009-12-24T12:56:28.344-08:00Oh, and since your blog is gone, Merry Christmas. ...Oh, and since your blog is gone, Merry Christmas. :)Something Feralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261865342856981862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463182841766238227.post-25315540923905692582009-12-24T12:55:52.116-08:002009-12-24T12:55:52.116-08:00C'mon, Triton.
