Remove Your Debt The Christian Way

Nixxxed · #1 06-08-2005, 12:18 PM

I just got the most hysterical spam e-mail. I especially love the Bible verse included, not to mention the heartstring-tugging pic of the pregnant young white couple.

But I didn't visit their site, because I don't want to encourage them.

I've also gotten spam advertising many other "Christian" services, including dating (*cough*bootycall*cough*) sites.

What the hell is going on???

OMG. I wonder how many people fall for that. That is so predatory.

Is that what's going on? People jumping on the bandwagon and marketing this way? Or is this stuff real? (Yes, I know it's spam - I just can't convince myself which way this tide is flowing...)

What's next? "Christian" carpet cleaning and tooth-whitening ads?

about my debt, He said "Press 1 if you'd like to make your payment via credit card and/or debit card...Press 2 if you'd like to speak to our custom service..."

Man, Ya just cant win here in the Bible Belt

I had to check it out.

"Understand that God will always give you what you need if you believe in Him. Make all financial decisions based on the principles of God’s Word, not the "wisdom" of the world."

Good lord!

That's what I wanna know, too! But I'm too afraid to go to the website, for fear that my computer will be stricken with a plague cuz of all the mansex porn on my hard drive.

You are a brave soul.

Are there buzzards and crows circling? Do you smell brimstone?

Yes I do, and I think I may spontaneously combust any moment know.

It seemed like it was just debt consildation. Pretty much the same as Consumer Credit Counseling with the word Christian added.

Edit: I am not sure that Consumer Credit Counseling charges a fee though.

Thanks!!!!!

And - according to Pat Robertson, being a Christian and evangelical is not cheap - I mean someone has to pay for that diamond mine in Africa

You have to start your own church, become tax exempt, go on TV and fleece people from their money. Offer FREE tapes of your speeches for only 19.95 postage and handling. Sell the names and addresses of those that call in for Prayer Warriors to pray for them to marketing firms for more cash. They if all else fails, say God told you that if you don't raise $$100 Milion dollars the devil is going to take you. Add in a few crying women with awful makeup- Some bad singers - and there you go! Out of debt!

Then go on and market this package as a Christian Teaching Tool to get out of debt!
