1 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Emmaus | 130083 | ||
EdB, I am amazed that througout this whole discussion no one has mention the modern practice of usury and the fact that banks and retailers practically forced credit cards on people without worrying whether or not they are credit worth. During the pre-Christmas shopping period I am practically tackled at the entrances of department stores by people wanting to gicve me credit cards. And at the Colleges and Univertsities the students are bombarded in person and by mail with cedits cards and offers of credit cards.How does this happen when most of them have little or negligable income to pay back any credit card debt? The banks and credit card companies, Enron like, count the amount of their tuition as income! No, I am not joking! They really do that. Ah the wonders of creative American business accounting practices. My daighter calls my description of credicard debt as indentured servitude, "Lecture 44." She was advised that if she accepted a single credit card while in college, that I would cease all financial support. Emmaus |

2 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Glory Bound | 130180 | ||
True. And Very wise. I have pondered this fact. It is the nearest thing to coercion. But I'm sure the thought that two wrongs don't make a right will come in there somewhere. I'm sure that Ed is advocating "total" Christian control. He is probably right, but it totally depends on the individual circumstance. One could advocate "total" and absolute faith also. There could be so many fewer mountians. Lord! I can hardly wait till the waiting is over. GB |
