People Or Human Resources ?

I observe how the church is robbing our town. How, as eager ambassadors of our charitable God, we romanticise the trampled-on through well-marketed programs, and then fund these same programs by piling heavy taxes on the trampled-on.

A convenient circle of piety.

Well, people will only squash to a certain thickness and still remain human. So what was our town is now one enormous care-home. It is run by people who do not live here and it is full of people who either will not, cannot, or believe that they cannot, fend for themselves.

In order to fund the care home we are to build a new, adjacent, income-generating town.

One difficulty is to find products and services that will actually make the new town a net contributor. The town will provide jobs, products and services for all; healthcare, security, education, energy and communication, multimedia, opportunities to both serve and be served, opportunities for mission, preaching and taxation.

I am responsible for recruitment.
With the right team we can pump our profits into the old town.

I was struggling to find employees who were both willing and able to meet the incredibly challenging demands facing us, when I stumbled across this advertisement:

… recruiting workers who will work 24/7 … never on sick leave … never absent … do not require a pension … will not join a union … low maintenance costs … see them in action …

It works for me. But here lieth a challenge for both preacher and taxman.
