Hi Ya'll,
Many folks may get caught up in the Race Card and Claim an Injustice has been done to them because of their Color of skin?
This may be seen very Clear in the USA with the Blacks wanting to Blame the Whites for their fore-fathers being put into Slavery !
The problem with this is that these same Complainers do not want to Recognize that it was their own Black folks from another Village or Tribe that Sold their Fore-fathers into Slavery in the 1st place !
Yet, the issue of Race continues in Many Countries around the world with both sides trying to Blame the other side !
How Many of these same folks have been willing to admit that some of the problem is their and their Fore-fathers Poor choices that have gotten them into the Fix
they may presently in?
Who wants to be a Slave?
Now, most folks will say they do not want to be a Slave, but what Poor choices are they Presently making that is Still Causing them to be Slaves and they do
not even understand?
What kind of Slavery am I talking about that comes because of the Poor choices Many folks make regardless of their skin Color?
Could there be a Reason so many folks have become Slaves without even knowing it?
Would it be because folks have rejected their Creator God's advice, that has allowed them to become Slaves?
What kind of Slavery am I talking about?
What kind of advice did God give us?
Proverbs 22:7 The Rich ruleth over the Poor, and the Borrower is Servant to the Lender.
Just how Many folks now find themselves as Servants to the Lenders because of their own Poor choices of wanting things they could not pay Cash for and were willing to become Slaves to the Lenders in order to have More Material Goods
that do not bring Health and Happiness, but much the opposite as the Bill's come Due and we have to work for the Lenders as their Slaves to re-pay the Lenders?
When man Stops Rejecting God's advice and chooses to Live by God's Guidance one may find Freedom, not Slavery !
Everyone whom has Freely choosen to become a Servant to the Lender has made themself a Slave of their own choice !
Yet, folks still want to find others to Blame for their own Poor choices in Life !
Maybe if more folks would learn some much needed Personal Responsibility, we would not find ourself still a Slave with NO one to Blame, but ourself?
How can folks avoid becomming a Slave to the Lender?
How many folks have heard about learning to Live within our Means?
All this means is we do not spend more than we make !
How can one do this?
When we learn to get as much of our Essentials of Food, Clothing, & Shelter without the Money system, then we may avoid becomming a Slave?
Of course we may not have the Fancy Car or House or Beach front property etc, but what we will have may be Free and Clear !
How can this be accomplished?
Everyone has wants and needs, we just need to learn to help others get what they want and our needs shall be taken care of !
Could this mean we may need to forget about I, Me, I ,Me and think about others instead?
Cause and Effect !
Smile Tis your choice.

This is a reply to # 1,371,223This post is classic moreless...such useful wisdom placed after some difficult to swallow truth that will most likely cause many to ruffle their feathers.
This made me choose to smile today.
It is such sage wisdom to seek to transcend the monetary system for your basic needs. Given the current economic environment everyone is holding onto their cash. Their is going to be some severe volatility with the US Dollar given the government's plan to "stimulate" the economy out of recession with unprecedented deficit spending.
My family has been looking for ways to trade/barter goods and services whenever possible. Between growing your own necessities and bartering for whatever you choose not to provide for yourself, you can begin to transcend the economy of this world. Sort of like being "in the world" but not being of "of the world."
Along the same lines of thought concerning debt, we should be aware when we give up our right to work our problems out amongst each other. A growing environment of political correctness and fear of what other people think has made us forget how to create constructive confrontation to resolve our disagreements. We have lost the art of approaching our neighbor and offering respectful disagreement and attempting to resolve our differences through peaceful discussion. Instead of doing this we create government institutions and laws in an attempt to force each other to comply with what we think is right. The problem is when these institutions grow too large and have too much power they become wasteful, difficult to police and they turn around and bite the hand that feeds them or created them.
It is a very biblical principle to approach your brother when you have a disagreement and create effective confrontation to try to bring about a resolution. Unfortunately I feel like our churches have turned into social clubs where people smile at each other, say nice things but then speak ill about their brethren behind each other's backs.Advertisement

whenever/wherever possible do this with family and friends and keep your "tribe" strong.
In addition to trading/bartering... pool/share resources.
As a simple example...
If Mom has citrus... and I have apple we have two seasons needs covered with fruit...
If mom has a hammer and I have a saw... I think you all get the picture here.
If mom knows gardening and I know how to use items on hand for medicine...

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,371,327The power of sharing is revolutionary. Think of how much stuff we have that sits around idle most of the time. Does every household really need a vacuum, when it is only used for 10-15 minutes once a week.
What if we redefined the concept of wealth be "access" instead of ownership. If 10 different households decided to share one vacuum, they could afford to buy a much nicer one that would last longer and produce better results. They would all be wealthy in terms of vacuums because they would have access to one whenever they wanted.
If we willingly share, we will be surprised at the abundance of our Creator's provision.- Re: --Who is to Blame--Slavery-- refreshed

I agree it can work as long as every one of the ten households are of the same mindset that "we are all in this together". Everyone needs to love the other person as themself to be able to share freely.
All it takes is one person who is selfish and only concerned about themself to slowly drag the whole 10 into the same mindset of selfishness.....or is it possible that a group of 10 families can be loving enough to forgive the selfish person and try and work around them?- Re: --Who is to Blame--Slavery-- grzbear

study indigenous cultures of the past and IF a person such as this did not compensate with a worthwhile value add (to put up with their crap) to the whole... they were usually outcast or discarded lest the whole "tribe" fall.
