This is funny.  I come from a family of real do-gooders. They're at the soup kitchens every Friday through freezing rain and blizzards, etc., etc.  Anyway, you should hear how the "real" do-gooders make fun of and resent the "one timers" who come out on Thanksgiving or Christmas.  [/quote]

Really? That is truly ironic. I guess they're not such good people after all. Anyone who would mock another for being moved by a volunteer spirit ANYTIME and for ANY REASON is not a good person.[/quote]

Oh, they're terrible:  40 years of volunteering through the icy snowy northeastern winters, feeding homeless, working with elderly, always welcoming the poor and blind into our home, tithing more than asked by the church, spending vacations on missions to Haiti (before it was popular to do so), teaching for no pay to cover the cost of one student's tuition.  You must be right; they must be bad people.  [/quote]

They may be generous with their time and money, but they do sound miserly in spirit.  It's one thing to "do good" toward the poor downtrodden masses unlike you, it's another to have compassion and appreciation for the people who surround you every day.  It's rare that "sanctimonious" is properly used on DCUM, but it certainly applies to the people you describe who behave in an (I assume) Christian manner only [b]than[/b] feel entitled to mock and judge others who they believe do less than they do.[/quote]
