In two words, it's sales which leads to making money!!!
It's about companies getting people to go online and buy their products.
They're pushing you to buy from them online which can lead to other things that could happen.
Such as:
Hackers stealing your information from their site. They pretend their site is secure from hackers and the truth is these computer geeks are waiting on this day to come
so they can hack into the companies database to steal more than just money. These companies fool you into believing their site is secure. Yeah right, I don't
believe that for one minute because it's a lie. There is no such thing as security when you making purchases online. It's the same thing if you
are making purchases in the store. I have seen it happen because they reported about it on the news. The company this happened to is well known in the business industry.
Think about this, The news media makes it a big online event designed to get people to buy online for one day. If people don't want to buy they actually give them
ideas on what to buy. Have you heard of such nonsense. I figure if you want or need to buy something, you can buy it anytime and will be looking for a great
deal anyway. Everyone wants to get a good price when looking for almost anything (online or offline).
Big companies are hustling you guys with so called great deals. They're not great deals because they have jacked up the prices so high and they give you
a big discount to make you believe you're winning. When in reality, this is the price it should have been in the first place. It's funny how they think
about their customer (YOU) and it's all so they can make money and sales for their company.
You know I'm saying the truth, just take time and think before you buy into this Cyber Monday hype,
because it is a big event every year. You know I'm right. I heard someone today referred to it as a holiday. OMG this floored me and
I had to laugh about this. Now it's a holiday just like any of the holidays they make up to get you to spend your money. It's a sales tactic for real.
Whew!!! I will stop here because it's so wrong for business to take advantage of customers and basically force people to spend
money on things people may not need right now. if you like this post, then please leave a comment, like and share with your friends on your

Signing off for now.

1 Timothy 6: 9 & 10 says "But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snarel and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."

What you have to say Terri is so compellingly obvious that people can't or won't see it, let alone understand it. The masses are blind and brainwashed. Those who would truly benefit from your guidance are the least likely to read your article or to act on it if they do. Such is the world we live in. Free thinkers and those like yourself who use their brain as it was intended to be used - i.e. to work things out for yourself and come to your own conclusions - are in short supply. Are you part of an endangered species? Happily I think not. Shopping at local stores and traders confirms that. Supporting the small guy is a good place to start.
Brainwashed is exactly the correct word to use in this case. Yes this world is redeemable but there are a lot of changes that must take place. This reminds me of my favorite scripture from the Bible at Matthew 24:14 "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Like the song says "a change is going to come."
When I think of money, I think of all the good it can do! I am so naive, sometimes, I live in the country, and people are still different in a good way, so I appreciate the reminder that money can have a terrible downside. Thanks. Terri.
I'm like you George and we think a like on this subject. Thank you for input on my blog post today.
Sock it to 'em, Terri... Quite a few years back I used to fall for that kind of gimmick, but I learned that lesson well... Today, I decided it would be more beneficial for me to share my latest inspiration in a blog post... When I finish this I will write my latest God Nudge while it's still fresh in my mind...
Thank you again, Terri, for your inspiration... :D
Thank you Linda for your comments about my post. I get so tired of seeing the news media drawing attention to things like this. People will do what they want when they want. They don't need the news media ramping it up just for a story for the day. It's just a way for businesses to get people into the stores to buy what they're selling. Period and end of story.
