James 5

[47of74]

I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately;

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you. (James 5:1-6)

2. When super rich act like super assholes I comfort myself with this...

...they may have enjoyed a life of ease and comfort in this life, but won't do the same in the next no matter what their bought and paid for pastors tell them.

3. True, but...

...in the spirit of taking the plank out of our own eye first, we should realize that all of us in the U.S., except the very poor, are "super rich" by comparison with most of the population of the world.

[Thats my opinion]

4. I'm an active participant in Occupy.

We are the 99% and They are the 1%
BUT if you consider the whole world--most all of us are the 1%.
