I had heard a little about it Eric on my last trip over to Accy in April. Found it slightly disconcerting that something like this organisation is taking over a large space in the town. It smacks a little of some kind of sect to me...certain religious groups prey on the weak.
In Garinda's first post he mentions "St. Dorothy". I did Google it, as i have limited knowledge and was worried by what i read and the posed "Saintly" photos of this Dorothy person smacked of some kind of cult to me, very like the images of catholic Saints and Martyrs. Testimonials of "abuse" victims etc reinforced the idea that they are in some way trying to attract people with problems.
My friend's mother-in-law had recently changed her dining room furniture and offered the old stuff to this group only to be told it wasn't what people wanted these days -too old-fashioned -she was taken aback as, if someone is in need -a table is a table, surely.
I read that this person is 77 therefore she cannot have witnessed the difficulties of the Depression -would have been a babe I think. To compare today's problems with those of the 30's is blinkered to say the least - there is no country in the world that gives support to all as much as the UK does, no-one in Britain has to be truly in need as the State supports all its citizens.
