Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord I find that you pay great attention to the cementing of friendship among yourselves, rather than expanding love outwards, to those who are hungry for it. You arrange dinner parties and picnics where members are treated to costly feasts, more as a part of social convention, than to appease hunger. this is sheer exhibitionism and display. Instead, I would ask you to feed some hungry people with the delicious dishes, people who have never had in their lives the joy of having eaten a full meal, not to speak of a rich meal. The point of view is most often warped; the direction in which thought flows is, how much can I get from out of all this, what benefit can I derive from membership, how beneficial will it be for my status, profession, contact? This has to be changed full circle. The problem should be framed as "How much can I give my fellowmen through this membership? What can I contribute to the fulfillment of its ideals?"
