Re: Business Application Update

Is this some sort of petrie dish that will eventually show the ''jewishness'' spreading across Freehold with the addition of ''customer loans''?

Thank you for your interest. The Venn diagram is slightly edited so as to only show the profits (and yje customer asset base). Around here the "personal loan" market in this sector charges 35% monthly (not compounded = 420% annually). The derivatives market targets that stratum of society which are deemed too great a risk even for these rates of interest, and yet their needs are often even more pressing. The assumption that they will be arrested if they are seen near any financial services centres of this type during the daylight hours opens up an opportunity for a 3rd party to act as their agent, Of course the 3rd party would have to pay the 420% - but is incurring the full risk herself; it would be mean to charge a premium, however (as other operators less well intentioned to the mortgagor certainly would) and so she only charges the 35% (monthly) which in this business model nets 840%pa (if the items used for security are not lodged 2nd party). Any monies loaned will be spent unwisely on goods and services provided by sharks of the 1st water who charge outrageous prices. That opens up additional opportunities to protect these vulnerable souls from exploitation by arranging the supply of these commoditied directly. A sort of "one stop shop" - but these fall outside the remit of the planning department's current inquiry, and are not shown on the Venn diagram.

Re: Business Application Update

Honorable Mayor Hold, and Citizens of Freehold. Attached are two different images. One is of an office building. Its a first draft and most likely will not be the one chosen by Phebe. Its something I threw together last night. The second is a pawn shop, I ask you which would you rather have?

I am glad you posted those pictures Brother James. That pawn shop had me worried, their is another type of pawn shop, but they spell pawn differently.

They have good Coffee Moron

So having this on one of their cups does not cause you any issues?

Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure.

Well one thing you did not add to your complex description, What the Good Book has to say about money lenders and the way they earn their living.

-Prov 13:11-12 "Wealth gotten by vanity
shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it
is a tree of life.

You should budget for things bot rush out to buy them on a whim.

1 Sam 12: 20-21 "And Samuel said unto the people, Fear
not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the
LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; And turn ye not aside: for then
should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are
vain.

This man wants to come among us, to be accepted as part of our community and with that he breaks Gods law

Deuteronomy 23:19Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 23:20 [kjv]Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Shakespeare said it best when he wrote

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Do not put yourself in this situation!

Proverbs 22:7 says "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."

Before agreeing to put a Starbucks in our City, I reached an agreement with that company that it would include cups with Bible versus printed on them. However, I could not get a promise that only Bible quotes would be displayed in Freehold, just that some of these cups would rotate through along with others.

Since you brought it up, I will reveal that I have made plans to remove the cups with secular messages.

I think it is very progressive of you to agree to do bussines with a company that some would say used their cups deny "god" and to promote homosexuality.

Re: Business Application Update

My wife and I will be employing close to 175 people( Preferably Christian) and we will have a positive impact on the City of Freehold. What would you rather have a new office building that employs 175 people or a Jooish pawn shop? Yours In Christ James Dewitt

If Helen weren't already on her way to Freehold (she's driving in her station wagon with everything that remained after the horrible fire that left her with only a couple hundred thousand in insurance money after a certain "independent businessman" singlehandedly bankrupted her), I'd tell her about this and show her the drawing you posted. She'd be so excited, since she'll be Phebe's new personal assistant! And like me, she'll be proud of you for siting this wonderful new development right at the edge of Jenkem Flats.

Brother James, why couldn't a pawn shop be located on the ground floor of your building? It could have a discreet entrance (as designed by your architect) facing into the Jenkem Flats neighborhood -- its source of customers -- and strictly controlled signage and window displays. Maybe a painting of a man trapped in the prison of debt because he ignores God? Or how about Hasidic vampires sucking the blood from a Christian?

Perhaps this shop could be connected via a secret hallway to a charming, high-end antiques, consignment, and local Christian folk art shop facing the main boulevard! Mr. Rothstein could enter into a partnership with a local businessman to make such a venture a great success and a benefit to your development.

Mayor Hold, wouldn't it be possible to add a special tax on short-term loans which use personal property as collateral, then direct those funds to a worthwhile cause like the Jenkem Flats Improvement District . . . of which Brother James's new building will be a part?

I think it is very progressive of you to agree to do bussines with a company that some would say used their cups deny "god" and to promote homosexuality.

Sir, I will never set foot in a Starbucks again! I am sending this information out in a mass e-mail, and I have no doubt every Christian in the US will boycott Starbucks.

Phebe and I are waiting for Helen to arrive some time tomorrow after noon. Until the new office is built, she will stay with us and work under Phebe. The land in question at 1157 Park st. is in downtown Freehold. It is not the same parcel of land on the edge of Jenkins flats, and adjacent to the Freehold trailer park. Brother J. Hutchins and myself are putting a different business there. Its a little more suitable for those who live on the other side of the tracks. It will be a payday / car title loan office. Brother Hutchins and I feel that it will well suit the less affluent population of Freehold.

It is not really a good idea to mix a pawn shop with a Christian foundation such as DFAC. I am sure that Mr Rothstein can find a more suitable location a bit closer to Des Moines. The thought of a Christian Charity, a Christian Book store and a Jooish pawn shop in one location is less than desirable for all parties concerned.

Mayor Hold, wouldn't it be possible to add a special tax on short-term loans which use personal property as collateral, then direct those funds to a worthwhile cause like the Jenkem Flats Improvement District . . . of which Brother James's new building will be a part?

A special tax incentive fund(TIF) has not been discussed as of yet. But is a possibility. The Dewitt Foundation for the Advancement of Christianity will not need to borrow any funds to purchase all the land required and erect the building. As to the subject of real estate taxes it is a possibility that we might ask for said TIF district reductions. YIC James Dewitt.

Re: Business Application Update

Mayor Hold, are you perhaps Native American? I only ask because of your proclivity to agree to a deal and then change your mind.

I was of the understanding that we both agreed to not discuss our arrangement in public, but since you are clearly backing out of the terms of our private contract, I am more than willing to address your egregious behavior, as well as the concerns of the community. However, if these shenanigans continue, I will seek alternatives to establishing my business in Freehold and will ask that you return the Rolex Daytona that you were so impressed with. Of course, I will also cancel the order for the BMW M6 convertible that was to be delivered to your residence upon approval of Measure C.

First, I hold sole title to the property in question. Your community’s intolerance for video games drove the previous owners into bankruptcy and the property was more than 5 years in arrears for unpaid property taxes. I was the sole bidder on the courthouse steps and can produce the deed as proof. Perhaps your county clerk/recorder is as incompetent as the city Building and Planning Department, but this is not my concern. If for some reason I fail at opening the doors of Freehold Pawn and Loan, I may potentially sell the property to the Dewitt Corporation or other buyers, for a reasonable profit of course. But without question, the property now belongs to Rothstein and Associates, LLC.

A Christian Book and Gift store may be a viable business model in some communities, but certainly not in Freehold. Need I cite the thousands of posts here declaring that the only book a Christian needs is the King James Bible? And that everything else is heresy? And what would Jesus think of Christians selling trinkets and baubles with His name on them for a profit? While one could potentially profit from such a business in other cities, such an endeavor is doomed to fail in Freehold.

While I agree that many pawnshops deserve the negative connotations associated with the word, I propose no such seedy business. As we discussed, Freehold Pawn and Loan (and I am willing to work on the name if the community finds it offensive) will not be a place to hock a bicycle or fishing rod for $2. We focus on items of value that tend to appreciate. Furs, Stradivarius violins, rare coins, British sporting rifles, Henry VIII antiques, etc. There will be no neon signs in the windows and we plan to have full time security to keep the undesirables off our premises. As I am sure you understand the risk, only one Negro (schvartze) will be permitted in the store at any given time.

In this economy, we intend to provide a valuable service to your community and add to your tax roll. Items purchased at a fair price and re-sold for a fair profit. Loans are interest free to Jews and at 1% less than the highest available credit card APR to Gentiles. I believe in treating my fellow man with dignity and respect.

Get out the Vote and pass Measure C in November.

Mayor,

If I may say something. Not that it is any of the noodle-nazi's business, but I have been checking into something similar regarding a coffee establishment.
Gloria Jeans Coffee would be my personal choice as I KNOW from experience dealing with them in Australia, they are Good God-fearing folk; so much so, they even put money into Christian programs and are excited at the prospect of being part of Freehold. They too would refuse to advertise ANY "free-thinking" slogans on their cups!

Gosh, I have so much more to add, but I do have a deadline for something I have been working on for the Creation Science team.

I will be back shortly to discuss this more.

YIC

Thank you, Mr. Rothstein for the reply. While I compliment you on your attempt to address the only important question involved, you were quite unsuccessful.

The question before the citizens of Freehold is this: What is the proper way for families to respond when they face a financial crisis? I was hoping you would answer the question correctly. I even provided you with the correct answer previously. Instead, your answer is that our own Christian families should go to your loan sharking business and hand over their treasured family possessions.

The proper thing for them to do, as I mentioned earlier, is to pray. They need to ask Jesus for guidence. This is the only proper path out of their financial problems.

Having provided you with the correct answer, I will ask the question in a different way, why do you feel it is better to sell their treasured possessions to you at a reduced price, or put them up as collateral and be charged interest rates the Bible call usery, than it is to fall on their knees and pray to Jesus for help?

My hope is that you will answer the question directly and not ramble on about unrelated issues.

Thank you.
