      XPost: alt.religion.christian, alt.religion.clergy, alt.religion.jehovahs-       XPost: alt.religion.scientology       From: gdb@london.com              Dear Sir/Mdm,              My name is Glen Bragg of "The Private Page" and I have found a fantastic              opportunity for your congregation to actively participate in generating the              revenues required to maintain a positive cash flow for your ministry/church.              First let me say I have no religious affiliation and am unbiased in       selecting              those I wish to help. (I wish to help everybody). Do you realize you have              the solution to your financial strife well within your grasp? With the aid              of a simple,powerful and legal matrix program you could be on the road              to financial wellness using your #1 as yet untapped resource,that is...              YOUR PEOPLE !. Your following,Your congregation ! Please read on.              But before I begin, please allow me 3 simple premises...              1. Keep an OPEN mind              2. DO NOT PREJUDGE              3. TAKE THE MINISTRY CHALLENGE (see bottom for details)              The purpose of this exercise is for you to start thinking              in a different way than you've been taught and give you              food for thought...please read on.              Think back for a moment in early Biblical times when a man,              a scruffy looking man, a man of simple means,a carpenter by trade              was called upon to perform an awesome task. That task was to              be responsible for the spiritual salvation of the world. Would anyone              think a man of such low stature in society would become our savior?              Of course I'm referring to our Lord Jesus Christ.              Would you agree our Lord was very creative...(thinking outside the box).?              The reason I pass along that little story is that I'm not sure if we would              recognize financial salvation if we tripped over it...Much like most would              pass Jesus on the street and quickly dismiss him, (based on our human              disposition to prejudge). I think similarly, we would pass by financial       salvation              if it came in a form we have already pre-judged. Be honest..              Have you ever pre-judged something and found yourself to be totally wrong?              If an opportunity for financial salvation presented itself, what would it       look like?              Think about it, in what form would it take? Would it be truckloads of cash              coming through the front door? or would the heavens part and greenbacks come       flying              down to create a mountain on the church property? Well, I never say never       but if is not              God's time then we must deal within the parameters of OUR time.              Think about it...Jesus always thought "outside the box" (parting the Red       Sea,walking on              water and don't forget feeding the masses with that limited grocery list of       bread and fishes).              If we wish to emulate our Lord, we too must "think outside the box".              Is it not our very narrow and linear kind of thinking which has us pinching       pennies just to survive?              Think about that parable..If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day.       If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. Think about it.. you       receive every Sunday or whatever your day of worship a collection from your       congregation. Everyone donates to your church an amount of money. Let's call       that a fish. You now have enough fish (maybe) to pay your expenses till next       service. You are guilty of linear thinking. Would it not be in your and each       and every member of your congregation best interest to contribute a boatload       of fish. (Thinking like our Lord..outside the box)              I have designed a chart outlining the various attributes of various kinds of       financing choices you may be making. I have included the 3X3 Matrix Program       I wish to introduce I affectionately call              the TRINITY Matrix (Remember NOT to prejudge)              Financing Attributes Thinking              Conventional Cumbersome/Complex/Long Amortization Linear              Banks have the power              Market Based              (stocks/bonds) Risky/Uncontrollable/Market has the power Linear + ?              TRINITY MATRIX Extremely Low Risk/People have the power Exponential              ____________________________________________________________________________       ___              Let's Deal with The Absolutes...The Very Worst Thing and the Very Best Thing       that can happen.              Worst Case Scenario: You lose a grand total of $20. (you and your 3 sign       ups)              and would only be achieved if you did not do the 3 steps and the most       important step 4              Best Case Scenario: You have financial peace of mind and you have unified              and strengthened your following by creating a common cause and a means to       reach a common goal.              Does your present plan have that kind of Risk/Reward ?              Think about it..Maybe it's the financial vehicle you are using to accomplish       your goals is the wrong vehicle. To use an analogy..Are going to achieve the       destination you want riding a bicycle (conventional financing) or a Ferrari       (Trinity Matrix). Consider this, the bicycle will only go as fast as a       bicycle is designed to do. It will still go from A to B (albiet much slower       than the Ferrari). Is it the bicycle's fault it cannot get from A to B as       fast as the Ferrari? No, because the bicycle is not designed to be as fast       as a Ferrari. So, the point of this message is to select the proper       financial vehicle to accomplish your financial goals.              Consider this; Is it easier to control market conditions or the power of the       people with the same like minded goals as yourself? Which is easier to       manage..something complex or something simple.? Life is about choices. If       your ministry is struggling to survive it may be a matter of choice. In all       fairness, do not be hard on yourself as the simple solution was never       available...until now..              IMPORTANT !!              Do not let the secular/opportunity facade of the web page discourage you as       it simply the package wrapper or (to use an automobile analogy) the body of       the car. (Are you pre-judging again?) What is important is the Engine !!       (Matrix Component)..remember the Ferrari? Please read below on how to enter       into a world of a ministry of financial freedom and prosperity, and actually       do, not just dream of the things on your ministries agenda.                     The essentials of this program is very simple.              A one time contribution of only $5 and sharing with 3 other persons.              to do the same. I would suggest the principal (pastor or minister) and 3       elders.              Then, the 3 elders would in turn each teach 3 who would in turn each teach       3....etc.              I call it a TRINITY MATRIX. I'm sure those reading this the power and       significance              of the number 3 is evident. Now before you dismiss this out of hand as a       scam              or a scheme (prejudge) I encourage you to immediately go my website.              www.theprivatepage.com/gdb321              Please listen to the audio clips and try to understand what is being              said with an open mind. You may see the value of the Educational              Products and how this may be of use to promote the ministry. You may              see the value of something I don't see.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
