Organized Religion Is Spiritual Welfare
 
Organized religion is a system that enables a few givers to be sucked dry of every resource they have to give to a bunch of vacuums that take, take, take and then critique what you gave of yourself and then go back home and wait for their next spiritual welfare check come Sunday or Wednesday.

That is my epiphany of the day.

You sound like you are giving yourself down the road and I don't know why.

I'm the kinda guy that sees something that needs to happen or get done and just gets after it. All I need to do something is to know that it needs to be done.

I keep getting myself involved in things and I forget time and time again that people don't think the way I think. Most people just sit and watch and only have to something to say when it's finished and they don't like the end product because it's not the way they would have done it. I've got a word for them... they WOULDN'T have done it. It wouldn't have gotten done if we had to wait on them.


Why do I even try?

I'll learn one day to mind my own business and just let things sink. :)

Man, my husband could have written that! Really, it is a hard lesson to learn (for all of us). It's like the little red hen. They all gather for the bread when it's ready. Don't ask for help and don't tell anyone when the bread is ready. Cynical, I know....but it seems to work for me.....

Sounds like some marriages

I give to the Lord. My sight is not on what men do. I'm not giving for the personal accolades by men. I'm not giving expecting something in return other than my reward in heaven. Did anyone learn that lesson?
