Bogus is bogus.. I object because the $20 bill is legal tender. When crunching,stomping and defaceing a document, don't mess with US Currency in front of me. I've worked hard in my life for less than that $20.00 and it's a shallow play on my sence of right and wrong. ABLE > > > >LESSON.

When you act in a way to manipulate the outcome.. as in scheaming to produce a given result by your actions.. That is manipulation. a "fleshly" act that is in no way simular to the Holy Spirit moveing on people to come to understanding. If you act in a way to "beguile" and take pride in that talent.. it is Witchcraft. What disrepect? Is it sin to crumple or step on a $20 bill? I would NOT do it in frount of Ranger boys or hungry Afgan refugees.. I wouldn't do it all all, but if I did it in front of Yuppie Lexis driveing poodle love'n pew sitters they would'nt get it.. *Mayby a HUNDRED or a THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL.. > I really don't get where you're headed. > *I'll be plain spoken. There are people on this earth that would sell their bodies for $20.00 There are people that would take that $20.00 and give it to the devil. The $20 bill represents power. Publicly..

Nope.. sometimes people change even from what their heart tells is true one day to something else. Fathers leave kids they love for no good reason, later in life, it's all washed out by time. True love can't be "withheld". Those who truly > love you will still value you - just as the $20 bill still holds its > value. Wait.. the $20 bills true 'value is in flux. *I can prove it.

That's just plain false. *People are going to do whatever their "Love" demands them to do.It isn't attached to "worth" Love.. unlike a $20 bill is priceless.
