["Rik Flynn of UlsterCorps on Community Service"; as submitted to You Tube by ulstercorps on March 15, 2009; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1J8aP6L-bg]
In the following write-up, on UlsterCorps and "volunteerism," a lot of organizations were ommitted due to space constraints and/or because my point HERE is to demonstrate (this blog write-up represents MY opinion, yours might differ) that a lot of purported "volunteer opportunities" could and should (?) be PAID POSITIONS - which could help (Do ya think?) our local economic situation (in terms of paid employment / the overall state of the economy) immensely!
Why are some organizations, some of which receive mega-bucks (through grants and such) not putting in budget-line requests to PAY for the number of PAID employees that they need? Do "you" think there is something "wrong" with this picture?
The following represents snippets that I "pulled out" of the overall listing (source noted down below) --- because a lot of these "volunteer" job titles sure sound like JOBS (I would include anything over 10 hours a week maximum, along with anything that requires extensive education, training or special expertise - in this category) to me...
At the end of this list are a couple of organizations seeking volunteers that seem (these two organizations) to have a much more rational [a few hours a week max) - fair - and/or viable (the last one has a reciprocal component) concept of just what volunteerism is (again, my opinion) meant to be...
Check out the following [note the items in bold (my doing)] and tell me what you think:
"AFFORDABLE/TRANSITIONAL HOUSING

First it's child porn..oops! found none! then it's child abuse. All 6 girls stolen at gun point said no in those videos. How about the confesion interview with the former FBI Agent that was hired to assassinate Pastor Alamo? Please put up the videos of the kids being stolen right on the side of the road..hear them screaming for their mommies and daddy's.? If this doesn't break your heart then nothing will. How about the parents who are inn jail now because they won't turn over their other kids to the Nazi DHS? would you? there is also a letter from one of the mothers who's child is being abused in foster care. Where is that? Please don't further the government abuse on these parents and children and Pastor by putting up one sided garbage from the lying news media. They are told what to print and speak. News flash the major media IS controlled and most of it is garbage! lies and slander to deceive the zombies with who believe the lies. The truth is not allowed out to the media. But you are right take a look at the kids on the videos and these parents. And at least put up their videos!" (April 6, 2009 3:19 PM)

Please take time to watch all of the videos - if you are so inclined - and please respond (if so inclined) in respectful non-threatening tones.

Following Up the Follow-Up... Alamo Christian Ministries
[Photo by BF]Following Up the Follow-Up... Alamo Christian Ministries
On reviewing the videos below (utilize your own discretion in viewing these):
1. I can't help but notice the radically different ways that Tony Alamo is depicted (I'm not sure what this is about, or if it means anything at all.) in some photographs...
2. I want to apologize for the google ads that slipped through on one of the videos... including an ad regarding contacting (or some such thing) "hot girls" --- but state that I chose NOT to (because of these ads) remove this video [Please ignore the ads or do whatever at your own risk!] --- because this type of ad (relatively common elsewhere on the net and on television nowadays, as well) shows the slippery slope (in my opinion) that our entire society seems determined to ski (despite all of the possible costs and consequences) down...
3. I have to note the distinct irony / injustice (as perceived on my part) associated with one of the scenarios depicted in the videos below - where it becomes apparent that - despite the allegations and arrests (with the outcomes "of same" seemingly very hard to access) that have come forth regarding Tony Alamo (a victim o persecution or a con man extraordinaire?) over the years --- Tony Alamo has apparently been able to maintain his status as a minister... - WHILST some of the parents (This makes NO sense to me whether Alamo is innocent or guilty!] that are trying to get their children back from protective custody (for lack of a better term) have apparently been told that THEY (the children's parents) must break "all ties" with Alamo Christian Ministries (HUH?) before their [Isn't there something very wrong with this picture if Alamo is allowed to continue "preaching" to these same children?????] custody is (other factors might apply, as well) reinstated.
4. I can't help but note the comments made in one of the videos about the possible consequences Tony Alamo "might" face if he were to be found guilty of some (or all?) of the allegations...
An "ankle bracelet?"
5. I feel the need to state that the videos of official news station coverage events are "what they are" [which would certainly appear TO BE legitimate] - but that videos of a more personal nature - as supplied by individuals and/or organizations - can't be (by me) verified [although heart-wrenching and certainly worth paying attention to "just in case..." (we are talking potential missing children here!)] as to their authenticity.
6. All of this is being written - right now - based on the memory of watching these videos - which I have no intention (unless I have to do so for some reason) of watching again. Thus, if any errors have been made (please utilize your own thought and reasoning skills - don't depend on mine) - I apologize.
7. I repeat - if anyone "out there" does know the outcome (if it is even available) of the latest case (s?) - please let me / us (I'm including my readers here) know.
Thank You,
NS
