PROUD SPONSORS OF WWW.GROUNDPICKLE.COM

( Groundpickle.com is the internet outreach of  Truth Helps, Inc. )

Our Mission

We are dedicated to bringing the truth about life's most common, and most important, challenges.  We do this through the Internet, across the air waves, and in person. 

Our Philosophy & Vision

Everyone has common sense.  Another word for that is the natural law.  That's our inner voice that tells us something is either right or it is wrong. We know that there are strong pressures around us that may drown out that voice or that may tell us not to listen to it.  That's why we are here--to even the playing field.

Good decisions have good consequences.  Bad decisions have bad consequences.  Those consequences may not show up right away, but they always do.  Hollywood and Madison Avenue and all of their friends don't tell you the truth, and what they show in the ads and on television aren't the way things really. 

The first step to making a good decision is having the right information.  That's where we come in.  We provide information, and maybe make a recommendation, but we don't preach nor do we proselytize.  That's for other people.

Everyone can have a healthy, and truly happy, life.  Why not start today?

Our Goals

Here's what we want to do.

First, we want to reach all young men and young women between the ages of 15 and 25 with our message of the importance of making good decisions with the right information.  That's a lot of people, but we aim high confident that it can be done.  We are doing it through the Internet, with www.groundpickle.com.  And, we are developing a radio program that the whole family will be able to hear.

We want to provide resources for women and men in crisis in their own community.  This means letting them know where they can go in their area for help if they have a particular problem.

We want to hear from you.  We welcome your comments and your stories on the website and on life in general.  Like us, and others, you've probably learned some hard lessons along the way, and perhaps you'd like to share them.  We're into helping people live good lives. 

We Invite You...

...to join this one of a kind initiative to reach  young men and women with the truth.   We know that the society in which we find ourselves encourages and promotes behavior and values that may cloud a person's ability to make a wise decision.

You can help us to get the truth out. Together we start the renewal of our culture to become one that is  life affirming and virtuous and that helps all of us  to lead truly happy  lives.
