All of the good things they were doing was in that direction. There prejudices tainted all of their good works. I was surprised by my reading, but I still find the entire organization highly offensive. I wasn't sure whether I should post something like this. I do not want people to think I would ever be connected with anything of this sort. One of the things I have so enjoyed in visiting Paris is the total accepting of people for whoever they are. You don't always find that in the U.S.<br /><br />BettyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149186891188677587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853175573516653642.post-9919462113234517462013-02-23T10:10:31.435-08:002013-02-23T10:10:31.435-08:00I know.

I was surprised at their good deeds, although it doesn't begin to excuse the bad. <br /><br />BettyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149186891188677587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853175573516653642.post-64368781297149112772013-02-23T09:53:05.727-08:002013-02-23T09:53:05.727-08:00Further consideration of your post.

Then somehow, a spin off group became the organisation with the history we know. For example, not all people of a particular faith are planning atrocities, it is simply the extreamists that do, and then of course the group become known for the bad stuff & the good intent is forgotten. I will be interested to see where your research with this takes you.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853175573516653642.post-91803432143665656132013-02-23T09:45:27.493-08:002013-02-23T09:45:27.493-08:00Betty, it is never easy sharing details that conta...Betty, it is never easy sharing details that contain such controversial information. When we research we have to take the rough with the smooth regardless of where that path leads us.

It seems when we dig a little deeper, we can learn something knew. Thanks for sharing.Devon Noel Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440829254298661495noreply@blogger.com
