Their goal is to drive people from the large denomination churches.
Even when the churches seek to break away, these corrupt leaders seize the property holdings.
Typical of all government bodies. No big surprise, but still certainly as true today as it was 2000 years ago.
Yep. Ain’t it a pisser?
The pattern of corporate covenanting, blessing, idolatry, warning, chastisement then God drawing his children back to him repeats throughout the OT and since then.
I find this comforting:
Romans 8
“9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
i also didnt see any specific action the employees were required to take other than your elegantly put, walk past the poster.
not to change the subject, but in the vane of corporate activism (unwanted i might add), i had an experience at whole foods market in swampscott ma.
so massachusetts, not only marxist east coast, but swampscott is a christian hating, marxist stronghold. i was at the aforementioned whole foods market, and on the loud speaker they announced a donation request for global warming.
i couldnt help it, i went to the cs desk and asked for the manager. i said, i can see it would be ok to ask for money for a non political cause, like, say kids with cancer.
but, when you ask for something for global warming, which has become very political, you alienate some of your customers. to my surprise, the kids at the desk, who, by their looks, you would think they had participated in occupy wall street, pump their fists and mouthed , good. which goes to show you, even kids in massachusetts dont like communist tactics.
The Church is the bride of Christ.
The Song of Solomon is simply incredible on this topic.
I think it was that!
I can’t keep up with all the companies I’m supposed to avoid. Can someone please make a list?
I’m not sure if I would speak the way this man does.
The problem is that corporations and politicians have become tied at the hip in this country promoting everything from Amnesty for illegals to Common Core in education and so on.
Then we come to the social issues like this.
On gay marriage-homosexuality I’m not fighting people over that.
What I do fight is the corporatist partnership of crony capitalists and government officials-politicians imposing their views-agenda on people in violation of their rights including First Amendment ones involving speech and religion.
Okay. So, you are against- what? You support- what? As I understand- you want gov’t and corporation business to be separate- right?
If they’re publicly held, better check them out. Chances are good that they’re in on globalism/new world order/etc.
Privately-held very small companies reflect the views of their owners; much better chance that they are not in the globalism racket. I still like to check out any company I’m going to do business with.
Big Government and Big Business are moving us further left, not small business or individuals.
Nigel Farage of UKIP said this when he spoke at CPAC. It was about the UK but it applies to the US as well.
Farage told the crowd at CPAC that the Republican Party should not forget the “Reagan Democrats”.
Big Business is certainly using Big Government to get what it wants from net neutrality to Amnesty and Obamacare, a bailout for big insurance and hospitals.
Good, insight. Although, while the idea of right/left was once useful, by definition of political view...We are now dealing with a overbearing gov’t, that is the whole original argument against allowing such largess of control, to violate Our Original Charter with God.
Years ago, on the east coast, we had a friend last name ‘Horny.’
It’s probably hard to believe, but society wasn’t using that word then as it is used now - -
We lost track of him, so have no idea how he handled the current meaning of his last name - - -
Back in the day, I remember him being a good sport, though.
All ignored, at worst responded to as "homophobes" in a self righteous tone.
No - I hurt them worse. I shop at Lowes.
And we spend a lot of money at Lowes.
As long as we don’t organize, they win by default. That simple.

Indeed. If it weren enough that most of us have Econocmy..and Obama Fatigue...we are also being subjected to far too many homo acronyms
I wish more people would speak up. The last time I did was a couple of months ago telling a homosexual woman she was not married and that the woman next to her was not her wife.
The argument went on for some time and then they went off sulking.
If people stood up instead of shying away then the homosexuals and the communists and the liberal-tarians will advance their left wing agenda.
Unlike the founder of another Atlanta-based business, the late Mr. Cathy of Chik-Fil-A, the founders (Messrs. Marcus and Blank) of Home Depot are not Christians; as Tony Soprano put it, they are our “non-shellfish eating friends”.
This is not meant as an anti-Semitic screed, but a statement of reality: our fellow citizens who adhere to Reform Judaica see the world vastly differently than Christians do. They don’t believe in heaven or hell; so their morality turns out to be 100% secular humanist in nature—there is no absolute truth, another person’s morality is none of your business, etc., etc. Yet they also believe that the world can be perfected.
