Religious leadership are they "obscenely" greedy and focus on counterfeit ways to fool people out of money?

Kitty Piercy
777 Pearl Street, Room 105
Eugene, Oregon 97401

We will not be fooled any longer you, greedy clergy! Get Revenue from the greedy?

January 19, 2010

Obama tells banks: `We want our money back’ Obama: Tax banks to recover remaining cost of public’s big bailout; President Barack Obama told banks they should pay a new tax to recoup the cost of bailing out foundering firms at the height of the financial crisis. In a brief appearance with advisers at the White House, Obama branded the latest round of bank bonuses as "obscene."

“Holy Priest” Obscene in Jesus day over money too, "There is evidence that onetime high priest Annas and his family had a vested interest in the temple merchants. Rabbinic writings speak of "the [temple] Bazaars of the sons of Annas." Revenue from the money changers and from the sale of animals within the temple grounds was one of their main sources of income. One scholar says that Jesus’ action in evicting the merchants "was aimed not only at the prestige of the priests but at their pockets." Be that as it may, his enemies surely wanted to do away with him!—Luke 19:45-48." Like the ones today who are faithful to Christ’ Father, note Matthew 24:45-47 as to what they are faith to in a spiritual way.

Have we noticed the big money bonuses as obscene with clergy in our day? Or do we ignore them believing they are too holy to be that obscene toward the love of money like Annas? To expose them is a need, not obscene at all! Just take a good look at holy Pat Robertson’s record all over the web! Is he really a faithful religious leader or just a secular business person putting on a show of being a religion? If all secular, back tax him and all others like him as a business! How many own stores and get rich at holiday times? Holidays called Christian and yet history shows they are pagan big time! Which, Christians are told not to mix in pagan ways for good reason if we follow the facts back to their start. Just see one as proof type in> the plain truth about Christmas <into search. The truth will make us wise to the counterfeit teachings! (John 8:32, 44)

The plain truth about Christmas link: http://home.sprynet.com/~pabco/ptofxmas.…

Say one and all to clergy, `We want our money back’! You’re not in business for God or us! But in business for the money only like Annas and family! Pat is just one example. Revenue will be a just benefit for all nations. Unite the United Nations to cooperate!

What book are you reading right now and what's your favourite part?

I’m reading Second City TV: Behind the Scenes all about the early days of this great sketch comedy show. I’m not very far and my favourite thing so far is that all these comic geniuses lived at this one house in Toronto like John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short and it also said they had parties where people like Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Rick Moranis, and Dave Thomas would attend too and now I want to live there haha, so much history!

Is there a way to differentiate between overwatering newly planted arborvitaes and underwatering?

I recently planted rows of young emerald green arborvitaes (about 2-3 feet tall) around my property for privacy. Some are turning a yellow green color. We have had 90 degree plus temps here in PA and no rain at all. I have been out there 4-5 days a week with the hose watering them. Am I overwatering or underwatering? Some look fine but some are turning yellow. How do I tell if they need more water or less? It is critical because I am probably going to lose a few unless I can determine if they need more or less water.
