 mine was frozen a couple months ago because I used Strike a couple times pulling from CashApp account. Any direct deposits all were rejected as well as any bill payments. CashApp unfroze once I showed them statements of where the money was going. I think they were checking to see if i was still in control of the account?

 i mean pissweak

and their servers apparently are even weaker

the KYC laws mandate collection but do not actually have any standards about keeping that data secure, it's disgusting, someone really should be suing the governments that make these laws for breaching the privacy of citizens for an inordinate cost that stops none of the actual financial crimes, and in fact enables a whole bunch of identity crimes that were not possible before

 wow, I see what you mean. if they weren't forced to collect the data in the first place, the fox wouldnt know where the henhouse is.

 maybe this is why we're not supposed to lay up treasures on earth. we are supposed to use the decentralizing force of tithe to spread it about. and that tithe then psychically deploys a force field around your possessions. I have not been paying the tithe, so I'm worrying about the thieves.

 thieves are everywhere

many times the ones claiming ot be collecting tithes are thieves

no, it's like it says in the Tao te Ching - keep your jade in a coarse cloth bag

stay humble, stack sats

don't boast about your wealth and defend it equally without show

 in this case the thief is just the AC/heat bill. it's hard to donate to something if they are not as frugal as you were while saving. all those churches with crazy AC bills. those high ceilings and big windows that I can't even see out of or open for fresh air while sitting in there. that's why I don't go. testing out excuses before Saint Peter asks me at the pearly gate.

 haha

the bible explicitly prohibits sects all the way through, from old to new testament, from  matthew to revelation

the true Church is not a human institution, why do you think there wasn't any official church until the romans used it to rebrand their empire?

 ok good to know. sects are prohibited but actual church buildings are usually of a sect. so each building should just be sectless?

 they do have some actual utility so I think it's important that it's there, especially if they serve as a food bank or place of refuge or a school

 yeah, i agree the physical things are good, and have done much good over the centuries

but none of them are organised how they should be
