Don't they all?

Let's say a major corporation owns a chain of shops where one can get thier favourite beverage & it is found out the Corporation supports Abortion & Gay Rights-would you still shop there?

I have had mixed feelings about this - on one hand I want to quit shopping at these places but as someone above stated - there is a very high % of places that support these types of lists so I would have to become Amish! Lol!

This should be interesting.

In regards to the minister one I also have to say it would depend! Once they lie it would be VERY hard to trust them again but we are all human and I do NOT expect ministers to be perfect! I think it would be easier to overlook them sinning (adultry, porn, drinking) than to overlook their lying - not because lying is a worse sin but because if they are not honest how can we trust them? If they fell and looked up a porn site and came clean and didn't lie about it then I would know they are human like us and that they are honest therefore I would be able to trust them. JMO. We should treat them the same Christ would treat them. An honest minister would step down for awhile if he messed up I would think and that would show if he really is sincere or not. But if someone has a lying problem then IMO they can't be trusted!
