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.

Re: Business Application Update

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.

would fit into the plans for business run by Landover Baptist Church?

Re: Business Application Update

Here's one

But it is not relevant to these two groups, where do they overlap?

I'd like to thank the 179 residents of Freehold I have been in contact with today

Re: Business Application Update

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.

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."

Re: Business Application Update

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.

Re: Business Application Update

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.

Do you have any idea why Starbucks was chosen to be a partner company?

What were you expecting, a pasta shop.

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?

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''?

Re: Business Application Update

I believe it is my obligation to review where things stand: We had a building permit filed by Landover Baptist to remodel the property and convert it into a Christian Book and Gift store which included a Starbucks. This permit was approved and work on the site is ready to go.

We are so fortunate to live in a City teaming with ideas to make it better.

I believe it is my obligation to review where things stand: We had a building permit filed by Landover Baptist to remodel the property and convert it into a Christian Book and Gift store which included a Starbucks. This permit was approved and work on the site is ready to go.

I temporarily stopped this work from proceeding when I learned that the Freehold City Clerk of Permits, Karen Thompson, had accepted a building permit from a Mr. Rothstein. Mrs. Thompson tells me that she was out of the office the day the Landover permit was processed and that is why she accepted the one from Mr. Rothstein. Mr. Rothstein, in turn, has told me that Mrs. Thompson assured him there would be "no problem" with getting his permit approved. In fact, she marked it "Approved" although she is not authorized to do such a thing.

All this being the case, I await a response from Mr. Rothstein to my question as to why a loan sharking operation is superior to a Christian Book and Gift store (with a Starbucks). I'm sure he will make his case here shortly.

We can then deal with the very progressive proposal from Mr. DeWitt to build a multi use building at the site. He and his lovely wife are such great citizens to have in our City.

In spite of this little snag, I know it is full speed ahead with projects in Freehold.
