Oh dear! If I join in on this boycott, where am I suppose to shop? Walmart was the only store I shopped at...I guess I could shop at K-mart, but aren't they just as bad? I have one question...if we dig into every store's doings here in the United States, how many support gay rights in some way? It is like a snow ball effect...We wouldn't be shopping with any big business...I guess what I am asking how far should we go? I am so saddend by this, I loved Walmart...it was truly my favorite store to shop in...waiting to hear from you...Sis Debbie

Our family will not be shopping there either. My sil and her family quit 2 months ago and she has actually spent less on shopping. Less impulse buying,using the sale papers from other stores and shopping one day a week (Thursday after the sale papers come out) has saved them $$$. The Lord will bless your family.

Sister Debbie, I think Carole hit the nail on the head. If you were to start shopping more at the other stores by watching for deals and such, and only go to Wal-Mart for the things you can only get there, it would still have an affect. The widows mite, caught the Lord's eye. It is not the big thing you do to Wal-Mart, it is the attitude you have. We want them to repent. We are giving them an incentive to think about their negative decision.
It has been very challenging to us, but we have found good buys at other store, and it has turned out to be very enlightening.
I am not saying anyone of this board needs to boycott Wal-Mart, I am saying we need to be an informed people.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...

American Family Radio sent out an e-alert asking people not to shop at Wal-mart/ Sams on the weekend after Thanksgiving and to sign a petition stating this. For more info go to: www.afa.net/wmpassalong3.aspEven it you are not able to totally stop shopping at these stores, I think that this one weekend ban would send a statement that we are not going to support this deviant lifestyle.

I guess what's always bothered me about Wal-Mart is the fact that you ALMOST have to shop there. Their prices are so low, and you can get everything in one stop.
I was in there yesterday and got to thinking about how it will take an effort on my part not to go in there and I don't even like going there to begin with!!
I never have liked anything about a mega-corporation nor do I like their practice of opening in a town and shortly thereafter, the local mom and pop type businesses begin to close as they just can't usually compete with the pricing.
At one time, Wal-Mart may have been a fine company, probably when Sam Walton was alive, but since then it appears that corporate greed has taken over.

all of the chain stores, give money to the gay rights, and to other UNGODLY organisations. many give money to support abortion groups also. So the way I see it, to get away from this , grow as much of your food as you can. WE are pretty much self reliant, with our wood furnace in our basement, and our wood cookstove, fruit trees, big gardens, and growing our veggies. But some things you just have to buy. and If you get it at a chain store, yo uare helping them support, all of their causes. we do not have a store, even a small one around here that isn't a chain store. There is one, about 20 miles from here, I go to some times, it use to be a chain store, but now I think it is owned by some one local.
