Members JerryNumbers Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Some will do anything for money, the lust for money is one of the worse evils. And today we have many snake oil salesmen I agree, its tragic, & many fall for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Never heard of that but it doesn't surprise me! I see a lot of ads for "guardian angel" things. Sometimes there are ads for "saint" necklaces as well as various things supposedly having something to do with angels. Strange how the "angels" never appear as biblical angels are always described but either as women or fat babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldtimer Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 The older I get, the more sadness I feel (sometimes anger, too) at how the name of the Lord is being used for greed. It's like the money changers in the temple. I believe in free enterprize and the concepts of capitalism. Yet, I want to cry at how those are being abused, in the name of the Lord. The Lifeway mailer that we get is filled with "stuff" imprinted with Christian "slogans" almost to the point of being obscene. Cutsey gimmicks to lure believers into buying cups, bowls, and spoons, simply because they have something "religious" printed on them. And, especially, when the secular world is also incorporated. Something's wrong when there's a sale on bunny rabbits and Easter eggs with a token reference to the Lord on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
