			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started researching the<a href="http://www.philippineaid.org/" target="_blank"> Philippine Aid Society</a> out of curiosity to see what kind of &#8220;good&#8221; they claim to do.  Naturally they are run by bible thumpers (that much I expected), but I did not expect to be led on a wild goose chase that took me to a martyr blog, a  shipping company, and a Japanese website/blog of which I could read nothing. After all these sites not only did I not find any information on the charity, but I had a plethora of additional unanswered questions.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="stignatius" src="http://www.kingofpeace.org/sermons/stignatius.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="320" /></p>
<p>Here is what I do know: The charity was started on April 01, 2009.  It is run by Tim A. Troutman and his wife Mari. Mari is from The Philippines. Tim owns a restaurant in the Philippines. Tim works for a shipping company that incidentally is the very company that ships the donated goods from the charity to the Philippines.  Tim is writing a book on Church history.</p>
<p>Despite this statement on the website &#8220;We believe in keeping financial information transparent and being fiscally responsible as unto the Lord&#8221; I was unable to find any financial information for the charity either on their website, or anywhere else.  Their non-profit status is apparently &#8220;pending&#8221;.</p>
<p>I rarely recommend donating to charities since most of them do not have goals even remotely in line with New Global Future.  I certainly never recommend donating to a charity when their legitimacy cannot be determined, much less to charities run by bible thumping martyrs that provide aid to the poor who are then subjected to &#8220;the gospel of Jesus Christ and <a href="http://godfearin.blogspot.com/2009/04/hypocrites.html" target="_blank">Christian teachings on morality</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do is support the individuals, corporations and organizations that we deem to be &#8220;<a href="http://www.newglobalfuture.com/?cat=4">Friends of the Future</a>&#8220;.</p>
