I also have started and volunteer in many food banks and homeless shelters(all privately funded). <br />I am not against helping the needy, but I am dead set against the government doing it as charity should never be mandated by the state in a FREE country. <br /> In order for the government to give something to a person they must first take it from someone else as government does not produce. Government only regulates, controls, or oppresses.<br />Donald C Phinney IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562627612151819950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358922542267485336.post-58898191052526450212013-09-22T12:34:46.820-07:002013-09-22T12:34:46.820-07:00I agree for the most part and not to elevate my op...I agree for the most part and not to elevate my opinion because of the fact I have never in all my life applied for food stamps SSI or any government aid what so ever. Because I do believe we should support ourselves.Even over the years as I have been a full time preacher I always ran a handyman biz to make sure myself and the ones who followed me never expected a free ride. As I grow older though I realize my zeal to do the right thing can be oppressive to those who maybe never had two parents who never divorced or a myriad of other benefits I grew up with. having said that we need to be realistic about our expectations based on our view points which come from life experience. Also TAXES and how they effect small business is no less than criminal so in my eyes it is double oppression to either not provide training and other assistance if we are going to turn them down for basic needs or drop the tax structure end of story. In my opinion income tax among others is completely un constitutional.<br /> Timothy@thelionsgate.orghttp://www.thelionsgate.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358922542267485336.post-46027144828364707702013-03-28T10:59:59.467-07:002013-03-28T10:59:59.467-07:00Not sure my Mom decided to work in the Pharma indu...Not sure my Mom decided to work in the Pharma industry. She does a lot with ergonomics and making sure the chemicals and such used in the lab are disposed of properly and the staff do not contaminate themselves and others with the radiation, hazardus chemicals, and viruses they are working on cures for. <br />She seems to be good at her job as none of the companies she has wroked for have been on the evening news for chemical or radiation leaks during the time she worked for them. I find more often than not when I am sick she encourages better food and excersise rather than popping a pill so I think while she does indeed work for big pharma she does not seem to promote them in any other way than to prevent them from endangering the enviroment their city or the people who work for them.<br />Perhaps one day I will have a long talk with her and find what all her motivations are for choosing to work in big pharma, but I think most likely that much like most of us we work where we can find a job that pays the bills and challenges our skills with little consideration to the full ramifications of how our efforts may or may not aid evil men at the top of the corporate ladder.

Then again it seems that some have moved so far from tradition that they are just flakey. Clouds without rain. Looking like something spiritual is going on, but it is nothing but soulish hype and expression. As people of God need repentance, a return to Biblical discipleship. Christ Himself enthroned in our midst. I really enjoyed reading this.
