Salvation Army
Prefers Its Own Kind

Mike Paulus |

Whoa, what?! The Salvation Army will kick you out of your post if you marry someone who’s not also in the Salvation Army. What?! That’s what they’ll be doing to this guy in Oshkosh. From the AP

  • The leader of the Oshkosh Salvation Army will lose his job if he goes ahead with plans to marry outside the organization.
  • Capt. Johnny Harsh is engaged to a woman who's not affiliated with the Salvation Army. They're planning to marry in June.

I guess there’s nothing illegal about this, but it’s kind of unexpected for the people who work so hard being nice to people. Seems like a pretty limiting policy hiring-wise, as well. At any rate, I’ll still be plunking change into the red buckets whenever I can.
