[quote=Anonymous]I've never been on a mission trip and generally agree with the critiques. But PPs are being really harsh about it. A lot of people are acknowledging that it benefits the participants in deep ways, perhaps more so than the actual aid to communities. So... What? A lot of people get that and are grateful for the experience. You all do tons of crap in your everyday life to make you feel like you're a good person that doesn't actually help anyone, too. Everyone does. It's like you reserve some special disdain for someone doing a mission trip over spring break that you wouldn't have for someone going to Cabo. Does that really make sense? This charge of "hypocrite" seems to elicits such visceral reactions. But lots of things are worse than hypocrisy. Like not trying to even caring at all. Trying imperfectly (exception for the orphanage stuff that does real harm) is not reprehensible to me.[/quote]
