I'm doing work for Reverend Moon.
It's true. I'm ashamed to report it, but he's aquired some stock in a company that owns some Japanese restaurants and grocery stores in San Diego, which I am helping to get licensed.

This is extremely irksome, but there's not much I can do about it that wouldn't get me fired. I suppose I could make a few "honest mistakes" that would make the process take much longer than normal. They just happen to be a huge client that the firm would definitely notice if we were to ruffle thier feathers.

*ugh*

:puke:

1. Be careful
Freepers are getting itchy to report 'dissenters'.

I wouldn't make this public.

But Sun Myung Moon is a vile piece of shit.

5. Would freepers get mad at someone for bashing MOON?!
He says he's the messiah... I thought they were Christians!

:crazy:

6. It's the weirdest thing - according to Christian teachings
he is by definition a "false christ" - someone who claims to be the messiah but isn't. Yet, he is a HUGE financial backer of many Christian Right groups including groups led by Jerry Falwell (Moon bailed out Falwell's Liberty University), Tim and Beverly LaHay (of Left Behind fame), Pat Robertson, TBN's Paul Crouch, and many others. Several of Bush's appointees are followers of Moon - and Moon is a big contributor to Bush.

2. No. Do your job the best you can.
If it's a corporation, it's going to sell out to politicians, preferably republicans.

Being mean-spirited will get you nowhere, except possibly job-less.

3. You are in good company. Did you see the picture of our congresscritters
IN THE CAPITOL CROWNING MOON?

Working for him directly and admittedly (in this difficult economic times) is pretty honest. So go right ahead.

4. Moon crowned in Senate building (no hoax)
http://www.gorenfeld.net/blog/2004/05/im-and-i-approve-this-messiah.html








http://gadflyer.com/articles/?ArticleID=131

Should Americans be concerned that on March 23rd a bipartisan group of Congressmen attended a coronation at which a billionaire, pro-theocracy newspaper owner was declared to be the Messiah – with royal robes, a crown, the works? Or that this imperial ceremony took place not in a makeshift basement church or a backwoods campsite, but in a Senate office building?

Some of the guest list:

Cut to the ritual. Eyes downcast, a man identified as Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) is bringing a crown, atop a velvety purple cushion, to a figure who stands waiting austerely with his wife. Now Moon is wearing robes that Louis XIV would have appreciated. All of this has quickly been spliced into a promo reel by Moon's movement, which implies to its followers that the U.S. Congress itself has crowned the Washington Times owner.

But Section 9 of the Constitution forbids giving out titles of nobility, setting a certain tone that might have made the Congressional hosts shy about celebrating the coronation on their websites. They included conservatives, the traditional fans of Moon's newspaper: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA.), Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah), Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Republican strategy god Charlie Black, whose PR firm represents Ahmed Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress. But there were also liberal House Democrats like Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) and Davis. Rep. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.) later told the Memphis Flyer that he'd been erroneously listed on the program, but had never heard of the event, which was sponsored by the Washington Times Foundation.

9. I think you should quit your job.
Or do you secretly like Reverend Moon? You embrace him as your savior, don't you? Admit it!

I notice you only have 700 and some-odd posts there. Kinda interesting that you would bring up your "unfortunate" association with Moon here in this forum, while acknowledging that there's "nothing you can do about it." Verrry interesting...

I'll be keeping my eye on you, MOONIE.
