BEGGARS AND PANHANDLERS

ad

If you live in a large city, you no-doubt have seen people hanging around bus stops and businesses asking for money. There have always been beggars and panhandlers, and they have always known that if you can swallow a lot of pride (and a little cum), you can knock down an easy 70K per year----better than most college grads fresh out of school.
But lately, this trend has caught on in small towns as the eceonomy continues to collpase (and make no mistake, it is collapsing---resting solely on printed fiat currency). In my town, the beggars, finding that big city folks have awakened to their bullshit sob stories, have moved in and tapped into the gullible naievity of the liberal Christians, which we seem to be over-populated with. They stand at an intersection---usually one that intersects with a Wallmart (we all know how gullible you have to be to shop there), and hold signs that read "DISABLED VET...ANYTHING HELPS" or "SINGLE MOM....LOST EVERYTHING". Upon questioning, they never give you a solid story, and after a few hours in one spot, usually get into their BMW and drive off to another fishing hole.
So I've decided that if people are that stupid, then it would be interesting to see just how stupid they really are.......just how much bullshit will they swallow. So in order to find out, Grrl and I have decided to do some begging on our own this weekend.
My sign will read...."RECENTLY PAROLED SEXUAL PREDATOR.......ANYTHING HELPS"........and Grrrl's sign is going to read ......."LAID OFF PROSTITUTE.....LOST EVERYTHING, INCLUDING PIMP". I've already made arrangements to have my belongings shipped to Tread if I'm lynched, and my wife shipped to BFG----IF she has any ass left to ship after our day in the sun.
Seriously, if you're able to stand in the hot sun for hours, you can run the fry machine for a while and Micky Ds. There are plenty of social agencies, soup kitchens and single fat girls who will take you in. You don't need to rake in 300 a day from people who are probably worse off than you. Taking money from poor people puts you in the same League as a preacher, and that's saying something.
Anyway-----what are you seeing in your town? Have you noticed things getting worse, or is your city hall repaving the sidewallks in gold?

Trying to wrap my head around this thread. Wow. I read 7gothic's op and honestly didn't read anything at all as to 7 not caring about people. My dad is a preacher at a jail in El Paso and trust me I have been more than indoctrinated into the faith but I would never pass judgement on anyone for thinking what they think nor would I spout the hell-and-brimstone shit. Jesus is love and compassion NOT "your going to burn in hell, FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!!" AND bty, ""Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

BTY, one of the biggest Atheist is Penn from Penn and Teller. Let me tell you how LOVE got to even him. Ramming something down an unresponsive person is not going to get you anywhere. It just makes them shut down and pushes them far away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdvES4_MJ5Y

Ha! I totally thought this was going to be about how some eroiders beg for freebies from sources. I see homeless people collect cans near. My apatment complex after a party night. There are not too mAny who straight up beg on the sidewalk because the I'm at a small college town but at my folks home I see it all the time around the stores. They are just going to spend it on shit that they can't get with their food stamps. Ie alcohol, drugs .... So don't enable them. I've been watching breaking bad recently, and it makes u think... Most homeless people are responsible for being in the situation they are in. I really don't think any homeless people are pulling in 70k

If god is omnipresent (agreed). Then where is he smiling down from? Some singular place? Heaven maybe? But I thought we just established that god was omnipresent.

While we are on (that) topic, when Jesus said, "The Father and I are one". was he speaking as himself? Or was he personifying all men? Meaning that You and god are one.

You are being wrong by preaching your particular understanding of Christianity as the only truth. It doesn't appear to me that you really know what you are talking about.

Maybe, God will be smiling down on you if you learned a little grace and humility.

You are a very bitter person. It's deep rooted. I can feel it come across in your words. You say you've been to hell and back. What others haven't? Your hell or the demons you've overcome have enlightened you to the point that you now believe you are above others? I've been watching this conversation unfold and I usually won't even bother. This one struck a nerve. I'm not going to sit here and debate perspective ,especially on religion or belief. Part of being a good Christian is taking a step back and opening your heart to what others say or feel isn't it? Forgiving them when you believe they're misguided? Etc etc? You are attacking and in defense mode which tells me you are feeling less confident than you'd have us believe. If yours was the right point of view and you honestly believed that ,you wouldn't have to defend it so ferociously. It would speak for itself. I think you should take a chill pill and read all the stuff you're saying here. You seem like a good dude, so why is it when it comes to this topic good men morph into something else?

I've seen you be wrong about a lot of things on this thread

I was going to keep quiet but I can't. That last statement got me. There is no right or wrong here. You believe in your omnipresent ,omnipotent god so that's the end all be all? Just because you say so? I realize this isn't about religion but that statement right there is what's wrong with religious people. You don't practice what your preach. Tolerance! You're self righteous and to sit here and say someone else's perspective is Wrong just because it differs from yours is the most ignorant thing anyone could ever say

Brother in your case and your own words here you were being "Self Righteous" now that would be an accusation on my part unless I prove it by the Holy Scripture which I can easily do. Did you know that in the scripture it is ordered that it is no Christians business to even judge an unbeliever. In fact Christians are ordered to only judge within the Church one another.

Proverbs 23:7 Or for as he thinks within himself, / so he is

You stated many times "that your comments were wrong" according to the scripture you were wrong "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks". And last but not least brother you say this

"I still will ferociously defend myself and my beliefs til the day I die."

You didn't defend any belief you insulted, use profanity, and threatened to give a "humbling" which I am convinced you meant violence.

Now what I just did here was judge you without profanity just using the facts with scripture to back up everything that I accused you of. And my scriptural justification for this is found here.

1 Timothy 5:20 NIV
New International Version
Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning.

1 Corinthians 5:12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

I hope you do share with others your beliefs and convictions my whole point is just make sure they are what God says is true, and what Christ taught. Because if you are misrepresenting him people won't get saved even if you do share because it is not the Word of God. It is your duty as a disciple of Christ to represent His will and word in both action and deed not just for you to tell others what you believe. Because if it does not line up with the scripture then it is a false doctrine and can only deceive others.

I personally really enjoy listening to all men speak and I weigh what I hear to see if it will truly benefit me or set me worse off. I admire your passion to share now make your words and deeds live up to that passion and no one will be able to refute you.
