updating the Bible with Neal Boortz

[hfojvt]

for your Sunday sermon, a little compare and contrast

Matthew 19: 21 "Jesus said to him "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

new verse

22 The young Neal Boortz replied "Don't look in other people's pockets. You have no business there. What they earn is theirs. What you earn is yours. Keep it that way. Nobody owes you anything, except to respect your privacy and leave you the hell alone." -- p.49



Luke 12: 15 "And he said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he posseses."

new verse,

12: 15 And Neal Boortz said to them
"Speaking of earning, the revered forty-hour week is for losers. Forty hours should be considered the minimum, not the maximum. You don't see highly successful people clocking out of the office every afternoon at five. The losers are the ones caught up in that afternoon rush hour. The winners drive home in the dark." -- p. 49



Luke 10: 29 "But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus 'And who is my neighbor?'

Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.


new verse 33. So too, did Neal Boortz come and look, and pass by, and as he walked away, he saith to himself.

"The bum sitting on a heating grate, smelling like a wharf, is there by choice. He is there because of the sum total of the choices he made in his life. This truism is absolutely the hardest thing for some people to accept, especially those who consider themselves to be victims of something or another -- victims of discrimination, bad luck, the system, capitalism, whatever. After all, nobody really wants to accept the blame for his position in life. Now when it is so much easier to point and say, "Look! He did this to me!" than it is to look into a mirror and say, "You S.O.B.! You did this to me!"" -- P.44




Timothy 6: 9 - 10 "But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

James 5: 1-6 "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat up your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of the Sabaoth. You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.


new verses

"There is a deep-seated psychological need for those who are not wealthy to assume that the wealthy got that way through evil and illegal means. If you recognize that most wealthy people got that way through hard work, the wise use of their power of choice, and the willingness to take risks, you are stuck with the problem of figuring out just why you're not up there with them. What's the matter? Don't you want to work hard? Are you afraid to take risks? Are you not willing to put time and thought into your decision-making process? Naw...this isn't going to work. If you agree that the rich are good, then you have to develop excuses about why you're not wallowing in money." -- P.124

1. I love this one.. "The winners drive home in the dark."

The "winners" yeah right. The "winners" drive home in the dark. Alone. Their wife is out cheating on them because she hasn't had a decent emotional contact with an adult in years. Their kids are in bed, asleep, so the winner will never hear how their day went, what they had for lunch or what friends they might have made at school.

Their kids resent them because they never see them. Their workers resent them because they are over worked and underpaid. Their friends are the same type of people so they are mostly either jealous or condescending, depending on the situation.

The winners drive home alone in the dark listening to the financial radio station, figuring out the number of zeros in their account, not worrying about such mundane concerns as friends and family, love and life and joy.

Yeah those are the winners. Just like Neil Boortz. A winner.

3. I guess we are all supposed to get 2nd jobs

or to work extra hours for free in the hopes of "advancement".

I actually worked two jobs for most of the 7 years that I had my own "business". There was not a lot of financial reward in it.

4. Quite often my father came home in the dark...

left in the dark, too. He never ever made anything close to amounting to "rich."

5. I didn't even make it out of the bottom quintile

I started working at the sattelite dish factory in Feb 1993. In March, I applied for a job that paid at least two dollars an hour more. Didn't even get an interview. Later, I learned that the factory had a policy to favor hiring the children of people who already worked there. After two years at the satellite dish factory, I thought one day how if I had gotten the other job that I would have made an extra $8,000 over those two years. According to Boortz though, the reason I didn't make that extra $8,000 was because of choices I had made. Amazing how I have more power than the person doing the hiring.

2. This crap coming from

a crappy lawyer and a guy who has been doing the same job for forty years and does nothing but say the same crap every day. This loser has grown an iota mentally in years.
