  Yes, but unlike MOST other church organizations they *DO* the work and
  leave the proseltytizing to other groups.

  If I thought the only thing between me and a warm bed and meal was having
  to listen to a sermon before dinner, I'd take it. At least the people
  standing around the buckets don't whine and carry on like the Krishna's
  (for example). Or the local Catholic school when they send the "forlorn"
  looking kids about the neighbor hood asking for donations.
