God Hates Credit Card Debt! Christian Debt Relief Services???
Found this in my e-mail this morning. Small print indicated that it is from Harrison Direct.

What exactly is the Christian way to approach your credit card debt? I'm not much of a Bible scholar. But I don't recall those passages.

If he's not ready to bring some old testament style wrath down on my creditors, I don't even want to talk!

Fire and brimstone for Fannie May!!!

1. Read: Up to 70% is forgiven. This means it's converted into INCOME,
your credit rating gets a big-ass hit, and you get to pay a shitload of tax on that "income".

Also, why are they flaunting hetersexuality so freely? I'd tell those two pigs to get a frigging room. (public displays of affaction are gross, I don't care who it is.)

3. anytime some " Christian " service contacts me I check my wallet.
I once sent them a response that I prefered Satanic debt removal and Satanic Singles... ( or marrieds ) . I still get their emails.

just a point here, I never carry a balance on my cards and I only make charges when I have budgeted funds for them - I'm all about the free tickets on Southwest Airlines.

We treat like credit cards like herion. We have to have them, but only use them sparingly.

4. My wife and I cut all of them up years ago. Relying now exclusively
on a debit card attached to the checking account. Still paying the others off but almost clear!

I sure hope that Jesus is happy!:evilgrin: O8)

5. Jesus is part of the " investor class "
Remember, Jesus saves !

I think you are wise. Very wise.

I use my credit union debit card for all else. Except I do get free tickets on Southwest, which I can sell to friends and use to proceeds for discretionary spending.
I will save up the cash for a big ticket item and use my credit card for the transaction.

Bling Bling ! It supports my craving for discretionary stuff but again I NEVER EVER carry a balance. I just want to have a card in case my transmission dies on the road in Wichita Falls, Texas - no place you want to be stuck.

Its good for things like car rentals too, in case of need.

that one of the principles of "Christian" debt reduction is making a contribution to a religious organization. It's that old Oral Roberts "seed faith" idea - give to God (or somebody who claims to be acting on His behalf) - and He will multiply your gift back to you. Fundy Christians are some of the greediest people on earth - something that is encouraged by their properity teachers.
