Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

I see.. would you like me to 'tithe' Sir

No thanks. The last time we had an abo wanting to tithe it sent us a bag of muddy sticks and some broiled maggots.

Thanks all the same.

Rev. Jim hasn't owned any of that. It's all provided by Jesus, praise His name.

Take me for instance; I live in an 18 bedroom estate with an indoor Olympic-size pool and a stable full of Arabian stallions. I get a brand new Custom Escalade every year from my grateful congregation, which I use to drive the 800 yards from my home to the church every Sunday.

We True Christian™ pastors don't have a penny to our names. It's all owned by the Church (and thus tax-exempt!). Shout Glory!

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Rev. Osborne and the good Pastor Have so many people in his employ because they are such generous and giving men. They do not need any of these workers. They do not need these massive splendid home nor the fleet for exotic automobiles. The grateful parishioners force these things upon them. For example, I know for a fact, the Pastor is constantly getting rid of the enormous Cadillac Escalades he is given only to be seen the next day in another one. What should he do, never touch the gift? That would be rude and calloused. They spend and hire so much to provide a lifestyle to people who otherwise would be destitute. I know Rev. Osborne's personal masseuse would have to go back to working the street if it were not for his kindness.

Calling someone racist by definition, may make you racist. Think about it, and tithe generously. God is watching.

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Absolutely! I've lived in several mansions over the years. You don't expect my wife to clean the whole place do you? As well, I've had expansive lawns and gardens, pools, I've had limos drive me around, I've had golf caddies, etc. The Lord has blessed me with my hard work bringing people to Christ by giving me vast riches.

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Why would a man of God employ so many servants? Is it really necessary to your lifestyle?

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Sir ..that by definition it IS racism..You can not generalise one mans work ethic to another, because of race alone.

No it's not! I'm not generalizing one man, I observe this with all my negro workers! I've been quite wealthy all my life so I've had various servants of all races with everything from landscapers to maids to cooks to butlers to chaffeurs, you name it. I've employed about a hundred people over the course of my life and honestly, my white and Mexican workers perform harder than the negroes. I'm just observing the facts, I'm not being racist in any way.

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

You must be talking about someone else. I never spell Jew as Joo. Nor I use the term darkie.

Of course I don't pay a negro the same as a white man. Not because of the color of their skin, its just them negroes don't work as hard as whites.

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Sir, (and I have read your responses in Miss April's thread)...can you say that whilst calling Jews, joos...negros, darkies and handicapped, retards, can you justify that?..Do you pay a negro the same as a white man rev,?

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Yesyes and alf, you are in the minority here. Maybe you're just hypersensitive to race relations and tend to see racism everywhere. There is no racism on these forums. We at Landover Baptist realize that all races are equal and no race is better than others. I myself treat my negro and Mexican workers fair and give them competitive wages.

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

Then what's with all the posts (not to mention Stickies topics) that go into detail about how African Americans are less intelligent than white people?

I don't recall ever seeing anything of that sort on here. We do not tolerate racism. Are you sure it wasn't written by an unsaved trash person or a troll? Often they are racist.

Or how slavery is acceptable, despite its contradiction to the law? There's a difference between paying someone fairly and TREATING someone fairly.

Slavery is acceptable in God's eyes. Are you accusing God of being racist then?

Re: Managing Racism - INSTABAN Feature

What is the definition of racism here? All I've seen is hate and condemnation of other races, which under normal circumstances is racism, but apparently here it means something completely different.

Is it perhaps the other way around? Is compassion racism?

Sir, I asked the question earlier about 'compassion' being in the bible...my response was an accusation of being a 'Jew'.
