The Salvation Army.
Does it have a place in modern society?
Does it's image need updating?
Do the women still have to wear silly hats?
When does Lent end so I can stop being so serious?

I'm biased against them.
I had an auntie who had a baby when she was 17 back in the late 1950's. She had to go into a Salvation Army run mother and baby home.
They were absolutely wicked to her, and were verbally AND physically abusive.
She still cries when she talks about her time there.
I guess it's coloured my opinion somewhat.

I wasn't trying to be facetious zac. I actually know a sally army member - she's my age (mid-forties!!!), has been a member since a little girl. I've always admired her dedication &, unlike some religious groups, never tries to push her beliefs or morals down anyone else's throats. She's a good lass - full of fun.
We have a sally army bloke that stands in our market place twice every week, in whatever the weather, collecting & selling the war cry. He must be nearing 100. He goes into the roughest of pubs collecting - and he gets total absolute respect, even from the chavs & the loudmouths.
They do need an overhaul though - image-wise!

That actually was not a joke and although I am an atheist I have a good deal of respect for Booth and his Army.
