It happened to a lot of secret societies religions and organizations. Many examples such as free Masons and Catholic church. Originally free Masons were private business owners forming groups or unions to protect against tyrannical government, unjust taxes, extortion, etc and putting their skills together. Now it's some satanic cult of business men. The Catholics have hidden pagan roots inside Abrahamic faith masking rituals as Christian as I'm sure many are aware. They also hid and changed scripture and push leftist agenda when they can get away with it. People corrupting the word and work of God is nothing new however.
It was founded around 1880. Originally, a 'volunteer army'.
Unsure of when it was corporatized, and then actually had paid staff, but it sure did not start out this way. In Australia, the SA has done amazing work for hundreds and millions, for decades and decades.
Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus’s birthday. Research Mathew 24:4 and think about the deceive portion. Note apply that to Christmas and the pagan holiday. think symbolism with the Yule log and what is an anagram of Santa….. satan
Christians need to read the two Babylon’s to understand the symbolism behind the deep state.
Without wading in to all of your points, I'll say that the ancient Church is not as stupid as you're assuming. The ancient troparion to the Nativity of Christ makes reference to the God of the Universe using the astrologers' veneration of the stars to show them Jesus Christ, the Truth.
"Thy Nativity, O Christ our God, has shown to the world the light of wisdom.
For by it those who worshipped the stars were taught by a star to adore Thee, the Sun of Righteousness,
And to know Thee, the Orient from on high.
O Lord, glory to Thee!"
This tired trope that "muh pagan holidays nearby Christian feasts so it turns out Christianity is all fake" lacks both knowledge and imagination, and is really embarrassing for the people who advance it. A study of these issues as the Orthodox Christian Church teaches them will be deeply rewarding to someone seeking Jesus Christ.
“Go to hell”...What a great way to spread the wonderful message of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Well they do have a RED kettle which reminds me of the RED cross or RED shield. These people make me sick.🤮
...or, red shoes, red scarves.
Ding ding ding
Rothschild = Red Shield
On the other hand, red is a Christmas color, stands out, and makes the kettle iconic. Branding is key for many organizations.
That being said, in light of recent events, I'm inclined to believe the more nefarious take.
Don't you mean red cauldron?
Their logo is a full-fledged RED SHIELD.
They can all go to hell.
I'm tired of these people attaching nasty meaning to colors and rainbows and hand gestures and words. Let us take it all back.
Red shield
Infiltration.
Any and all good organizations inspired and built up by love of God, Christ and/or the Holy Spirit became targets for infiltration.
The Salvation Army go back a long ways, and as far as I know, they have done a LOT of good in the world. But, as I said, infiltration.
Now, taken over from inside, globalist, satanic institution. Clearly.

They're not taken over.
They were always the least effective form of charity by people who didn't want to do anything.
Charitable organizations with paid staff are a total grift and virtue signal.
Errrrr. Um.
How long do you think the SA had 'paid staff'?

And they call themselves 'Christians'...
Seems to be a business now. It's going down hard.

Old Pagan holiday, AKA yule:
Sounds familiar?
How does one hide knowledge of the world in the open? If one is not an initiate, they will never see the deeper meanings.
