    Wow, so many responses!

    Sorry for starting a religious diatribe, that was not my intention. The Christian comments were clearly a side thought prompted by some criticism on a previous thread. I though I made that clear.

    Prosperity principles are universal and apply to any human on the planet, and my reason for posting this, my favourite topic, is in the same spirit of contribution you have when you contribute your own experiences and knowledge generously on this very forum.

    I love talking about self-determination; I run some seminars on the topic of our subconscious mind and prosperity for anther business venture, and most of the time my listeners get a kick from what I have to say.
    No one gets offended by some perceive implication they may have done something wrong. Those feelings must remain beside the point. If you tell me I should start a trust, I will not feel you are calling me a moron by elevation for not having one. In fact, I will review my values and try to understand why I am so reluctant to do so. Am I stopping my progress subconsciously because I think rich people (who have trust) are crooks and if I have a trust then I will be as crook as them? May be I am … so … I have to work on that limiting belief.

    Josh Billings put it this way; ‘It’s not what we ‘don’t’ know that prevents us from succeeding, it’s what we know that just ain’t so that is our greatest obstacle.’

    I hope my little post has contributed towards tickling your curiosity beyond the “how to do things” and to get started on the “why do we do things”.

    It is my desire that we all prosper and it is my conviction that in order to do so we must first become wealthy in our own mind.

    I hope no one is bitter and that we can continue to share our expertise each one in his field towards a common goal.

    May God bless you
    and prosper you.
    Marc

    You said this Pisces.
    [Even a person like Kay who is a self professed atheist
    appears to adhere to this kind of outlook.
    I just don’t understand.

    I was not responsible for the vendor being in financial strife. I am merely making an offer. I don’t see this as taking advantage of someone else.

    Sell it to someone else for a higher price.]

    Why does this not surprise me that you still don`t get it.
    Not only are you using old arguments in order to cover your tracks, they are arguments you clearly manipulated for the sake of an argument, you still do not listen when three times I said wrapping of course is not ALL bad, not only this but I also have repeatedly told you I never said buying property cheap was wrong, what I said was seeking out people in financial difficulty to purchase property at well below market prices is wrong IMO.
    You have manipulated the discussion, in fact all of them, with extreme nonsense, which is so far removed from the tone of the discussion I am in disbelief, check the posts the evidence is there, you have flat out LIED and you are so transparent and hypocritical it is laughable.
    It is not a good idea to call a person a FH, twisted or the village idiot on this basis.
    My question regarding MAP are fair comments, but they go unanswered, maybe my wording was a little harsh, I do regret that I did not take a little more time to post them, but since I considered going to the seminar and buying the books I think they are obvious questions to ask when you take into account recent discussions.
    This is the last I have to say on the subject.[;)]

    >>but I also have repeatedly told you I never said buying property cheap was wrong, what I said was seeking out people in financial difficulty to purchase property at well below market prices is wrong IMO.<<

    Let us look at your logic now Markpatric.

    You are saying that buying cheap property is O.K.
    but if you seek out people who are prepared to sell properties cheap it is wrong, immorally so.

    So what is the wrong part ? The seeking out ?

    If we don’t look for cheap property, if we don’t seek for such vendors, how will one find them then ?

    I note that your posts stand out for the fact that you don’t bother to respond to what others reply. Your silence is deafening and tells a tale in itself.

    I also note that it is very unchristian to call someone, undeservedly so, a liar. As I have remarked before, that is character assassination, a most unchristian act.

    Worse, such behaviour has the tendency to give all christians a bad name.

    Is that what you want to achieve ?

    OK Pisces I bite again, but only in the very slim hope I can leave this forum on a positive note, if my post were out of line I apologise to Steve and the other forum people.
    Who bought up Christianity?.
    Who repeatedly made claims about what I said which were clearly false.
    You are answering your own questions now thanks for that.
    You can regard my silence any way you want, fact is I have a very serious aversion to bullshit.
    I am prepared to cop it if my post are out of line, I say what I do and do what I say but I do not cop what is not right in any shape or form.

    If I failed to reply to someones elses post I do apologise I have very little time on the net.

    Just totally out of left field here …

    If rich is evil and poor is virtuous … does that mean that Rebecca1 is very rich![}:)]

    FYI

    This is a property INVESTING website, so why are you surprised there’s talk of money here?

    I feel obligated to point out that the line in the bible quoted here is not “money is the root of all evil” as is so frequently quoted.
    It is in fact “the love of money is the root of all evil”
    Makes a big difference.

    Keep smiling

    Is it a sin to have money or does the lack of money create sinners.
