The Working Church

What is a working church, you ask? Many religions and organizations strive to help people. They offer food banks, computer training, vocational skills of various sorts, and then send those people into the streets to find jobs. I know, I was one. Problem is they do not usually help locate you employment nor work with employers regarding the vocation you are being trained for. As result, many times you are no better off then you were before the training, except having that training. Food banks start with a hundred and eventually have a thousand, therefore such a matter fails because it does not uplift but multiplies the problem. So, what is a working church?
A working church for Jehovih is intended to be built between cities in a country setting, preferably equally distanced from all cities. This way the people sought to be uplifted will be removed from the problems that affect them, like drugs, alcohol, crime, or the like. It will have training of various vocations like automotive mechanic, body work, upholstery, restaurant, computer, and more. It will work directly with colleges for additional training for those that have skills but require current updating of educational training. It will teach landscaping, ornamental landscaping, orchard vocation, agriculture and more.
The church will offer industrial cooking through a kitchen set to prepare pure spiritual foods, and will offer free day care for youth (if the parents are willing to agree the child will eat pure foods) from infants up, and offer education to these children that will afford them to grow substantially in wisdom, including infants. Other vocations will be glass blowing, ceramic creations, machine shop, and more. Besides these the church will afford educational courses like math, reading, spelling and more to afford those illiterate to become effective and not fail in their training. This will also be for the children, a school in a school, you could say.
The church will be able to afford 100 individuals a place to stay while obtaining this educational advancement. Once initial training is afforded and the individual is clean to re-enter the cities and not fall back into addictions, they will be placed in further training in inter-city structures.
In each city will be subsidiaries of the church and non-profit business structures where after the initial training and dryout of those of poverty, the individuals will be placed into a rental facility, and work at a facility associated with the church. A portion of the pay will be placed into an account for when the person is ready to enter the work market him or herself. The affiliations will offer society the means to acquire repairs, good food, etc, at a slightly less cost and all net profits will return back to the church to help others. The individuals will receive a pay for their labors, and the church will assist in clothing and food until they are ready. The individuals will continue receiving counseling, as well as education in finances, to help insure the individuals being helped will not fail.
The church will work hand-in-hand with related businesses in that vocational skill and after the person is trained, help insure those people employment. All education will be qualified through Department of Education standards, and have professionals in the related fields being taught.
Teaching of the church as relating to scriptures from the Oahspe bible will be secondary because works are greater then words. This church is not about preaching, but doing works to uplift our brothers and sisters, no matter what belief they might be of. However, even the congregation will be taught to help others. Three nights a week will be teachings of "do unto other as you would want them to do unto you," and how to grow spiritually by purification of self, and three nights will be actually going into society to help others. Helping the elderly that cannot take care of themselves or their homes, by repairing their homes freely (at church expenses), or creating baskets of goods for elderly in old folks homes to offer them joy, or to burn victims to bring cheer. We will work with prisoners to insure family association, and help the prisoner to become functional for when he or she returns to society. In short, doing good works for the glory of our Creator by doing unto others. He watches all we do!
The interior church structure of the cities will offer a food bank, however, once the person has been fed adequately to be of strength, they will be asked to work some before receipt of food, like raking the street in a specific location and picking up trash to help clean our environment. The purpose of this church is to teach people to become self-sustaining and industrious. If those in poverty are not taught to become self-sufficient they continue to be a burden upon society, taking away funds that would be better directed toward education of children or research for pure foods. We will request those of wealth to help to become a model of society by assisting in the uplifting of the poor and needy so they will become productive individuals. To give a new type church into society!
In short, this is the working church for Jehovih and we need your help in creating it and getting it built so it can be a benefit to society and to those in need. Please give from your heart for this worthy cause to glorify our Creator and help mankind. We seek the initial church built in the Sacramento, San Francisco, California areas, and to spread outward over the years across the country to every metro area to uplift the poor and free society from poverty and crime. To succeed in this great effort we need your help, your generousity. Please give for this beneficial cause from your heart in the name of our Creator. Send any donations to: Eductaional-Outreach-Integrated-helpers, c/o: Working Church for Jehovih, Gustav Skurdal, Pres., at: 837 1/2 West G Road, Huntley, Montana 59037. Give what you can spare, for every little bit helps and adds up for this wonderful working church. Give now! Give for your Creator?

POVERTY AND ILLITERACY

Help build a working church to help uplift those in need so they can be self-sufficient. Give now? Even $1.00 plus a stamp adds up. More is appreciated. Like unto like is the manner of our Creator. Lets all learn to be like Him!
"More than ninety million Americans, close to a third of the entire population, are struggling to make ends meet on incomes that are less than twice the official poverty line. In my book, they're poor," stated Bob Herbert on a study of poverty in the New York Times. Carl Kline, M.D., a psychiatrist on children and adolescent, declared that "every poor reader who does not receive appropriate help will develop significant emotional problems." He declares when 35% of America is affected through some manner of disability it constitutes an epidemic and it "seems likely that teenagers who can't read or spell and who consequently hate school are easy targets for drug dealers." These matters affect crime, hate, prejudices, and more.
In a 2005 survey, the National Assessment of Adult Literacy recognized that 14%, or 30 million adults are below the basic reading level with 29% or 63 million at the level of quantitative literacy. 43% of our population cannot even read a basic newspaper article, nor fill out a basic job application which affects their ability to obtain employment. Many parents cannot read a simple story to a child. These statistics affect poverty and crime throughout America, the world. For example, in 2006, the Department of Education reported 47% of kids age 16 dropped from school without a basic math understanding, and 42% without basic reading skills. In 2000, the statistics demonstrated in federal and state prisons that 60% were functionally illiterate, and 85% of our juvenile offenders "had problems associated with reading, writing, and basic mathematics." ( Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia statistics as of Feb. 4, 2009).
In our country today, the number of poor has multipled by 5 million in the last 6 years, with the poorest of American individuals obtaining a mere 3.4 percent of the nation's income. The wealthy, on the other-hand, obtained 20% which consisted of a mere 1% of the population. For a 4-family threshold, 37 million people live below the $19,971 average, or 1 out of 8 Americans. (Global Research, ca, at of Feb. 4, 2009). These statistics are staggering, yet they tell a sad tale.
The teachings of merely capitalism, without affording adequate education, tears a nation apart and such a nation will collapse in time.
The Working Church for Jehovih is set to uplift these types of people. Recognizing nothing occurs overnight, the long term goals are to rid cities of poor by offering skills, trades, vocation, and job placements. The organization, Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers goal is to further afford classes of various courses that are necessary to elevate these people so they can maintain employment, as well as offering the vocational skills for employment. To create this working church, we need your help. Not for us, but for our Creator and for those the working church intends to uplift. Is not your Creator worth a mere $1.42, consisting of $1.00 and a postage stamp to mail it, to help this cause. Like unto like is His manner. If you give, you will receive in like: love, love; hate, hate; charity, charity. Our Creator gives daily to us all. To prevent and reduce poverty we must all come together. We must work as a brotherhood to make a change, at the street level, and at legilsature. We, the Working Church for Jehovih, aim to make that change at the street where it counts. Please give from your hearts for this cause. Send any donations to: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers; c/o: Working Church for Jehovih, Gustav Skurdal, at 5520 Omega Court, Ste. 54, North Highlands, CA 95660. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE THEY SHOULD DO UNTO YOU! Please give now in the name of your Creator!

The world is filled with misery and pain when it need not be that way, however, until we learn to help one another it will not change. Only when misery comes upon mankind does man pull together to help others, per se. New Orleans is a good example. After the flood, people from all over te world can to their assistance, that normally would never even consider them. Our Creator gives to us each every day, our breath, thoughts, life, motions, sight, taste, all we have, without demanding anything from us for it. Corporations like Coca-cola demonstrate that by giving (like their foundation), they receive and prosper, yet very few people recognize this or are willing to do such for others. The rich less then the poor.
Most rich give of their abundance, thereby maintaining to give more. This is not wrong, but a poor gives of all he has, knowing he will receive more. A poor man, without food and living in the streets, will give his last portion unto another hungry person, while a rich would hold it for self. The matter is, we need to learn to help one another. The rich are given for the purpose of helping uplift the poor; leaders to help educate the illiterate; etc. All have their purpose on this earth, if only we could come together as brothers and sisters.
What makes one man different from another. If a Christian had been born in India, they'd have been Hindu. If a poor man had been born to the rich or raised on the opposite side of the tracks, he'd be president or running a major corporation. There is not any difference in any person, unless we discriminate and hold prejudices because of skin, origin, sex, etc. Such is not of our Creator, and should not be of any person who acclaims to serve the Creator.
Abandoned children run the streets of all metro areas. Poor lay in the streets begging food. These results are created by our own society and the manner in which we teach. For example, many students are bullies, and the parents of these children believe the strong survive and weak fall and allow this discriminatory actions to be condoned by their children against others. In a Norwegian study of 84,000, 9% or 52,000 were victims of bullies, and 7% or 41,000 were the bullies. These teachings deprive students, based from fear, of succeeding in life because of oppression by those stronger, and are condoned by many parents. craig H. Hart, CHILDREN ON PLAYGROUNDS: Bullies on the Playground, the Role of Victimization, at 89, NY (1993). This type of behavior, however minor, increases drug abuse, criminal offenses, peer pressures, anti-social behavioral patterns and more, hindering the children and helping to collapse our society.
This conduct, that creates depression, ill-feelings, imbalance, brings about poverty, crime, hate, prejudices, and is usually taught because of the American teachings of a man must be strong, or shall never cry, a teaching taught nowhere else in the world. Such teachings bring about such abuses from pre-school throughout life and cripples society by that teaching. It affects IQ, achievement in life, acedemic social adjustments and motivation of a person, as does children fatherless or lacking a father image. Paul L. Adams, FATHERLESS:Effects on Offspring, School and Sex Role, at 128-129, NY (1984).
The Working church for Jehovih seeks to help uplift mankind, like the poor from the streets, as well as abandoned children. Through teachings of decency, kindness, doing unto others, besides affording skills and trades, a maningful life, and teaching basic moral ethics, it is extremely possible to bring a person of poverty to a state of being self-sustaining; or a child to become the next President with goodness.
We all make mistakes in life. Cannot we not rise from our prejudices and come together for the good of all humanity? For our Creator?
We ask your help to build a working church. A mere $.42 cent stamp on an envelope and a mere $1.00 from every person would afford a great ability to help hundreds, thousands, over time. More would be appreciated. Please, give unto others for your Creator and help us build a working church to uplift poverty, crime to make individuals in need a benefit unto society. Send any donation to: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers (E-O-Ih), c/o: Working Church for Jehovih, Gustav Skurdal, Pres.; at: 5520 Omega Court, # 54, North Highlands, CA 95660.

Please do unto others, give now?

Do unto others

Jehovih is All Good, and it is asked in His mighty name, Eloheim, Eloheim, that you give from your heart, by "doing unto others." Help build a working church to help uplift those in need so they can be self-sufficient. Give now, even $1.00 plus a stamp adds up.
Nearly every bible holds the same commandment, 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' Many people lack understanding what this means. Many deem it applies only to their own teaching, even though commanded upon the entire world. The principle behind this is simple: place yourself into the shoes of those you seek to make a judgment against, and consider, if you were them, what would you like you to do for them or how you should treat them. The Creator is not bias nor prejudicial. He gives to everyone alike. He gives to the rich their desires, the poor their food in time (recognizing the poor live as they do because of society and the Creator leaves for society to learn to care for their brothers and sisters); He gives to the black as well as the white, the jews as well as the indians, no one is special before Him and He treats all the same according to their place, and their positions.
Many poor are willing to work if they could obtain the chance. Many go to food banks daily, but these alleged benefits actually harm, not help, the poor. They create more poverty and require more assets to help feed them who come, and do nothing to actually uplift the poor in many circumstances. Even if they required, after a time, those poor coming to receive a rake to rake the street before receiving their portions, it is a means to help teach a skill. Through this, that poor person may obtain a hand rake, mower, and travel house to house asking to rake a yard for $5.00 to become industrious. Remember, Jehovih never rests, for if He did you would not walk, see, nor breath, nor even live. Because He gives to us everyday of our life, he gives us an example what He would like us to do unto each other.
Sacramento has adopted a 10 year plan to end chronic homelessness, but until they afford jobs, homes, and means for people to become self-sufficient, such efforts will likely fail. Just giving someone computer training is not lifting them up. They must be able to fully care for themselves. That is the purpose of the working church. It will give them a trade or skill, not only give them a salary for their work, but a place to stay. A portion of the salary will be placed into an account for them, so once trained they will have the funds to rent an apartment; buy food; etc. The orgainzation: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers (E-O-I-h)(pronunced "Eloheim") will also locate them employment so they will be able to maintain and continue to care for themselves.
In 2001 about 4,800 homless children existed in the Sacramento county, according to the Sacramento Bee on the School District mission widens, by Christina Jewett, December 22, 2002.
Through the nation, California leads in homless children and teens with 289,000 that need your help. Sacramento averages that per homeless it takes from $10,000 to $16,000 per person, and with 171 in placement would save them 41.5 to 2.5 millions dollars a year. Sacramento did, in their first year, help individuals like Rozanna Jeppeson, but by allowing these individuals to actually become productive citizens they will also be a benefit to society. Individuals like William Schield had problems, and Sacramento helped by helping get him on social security, but remember as Thomas Jefferson stated" "The demoncracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." To give all unemployment, social security, welfare, hinders society. Each of these individuals have the capacity of working, even under a disability label. Yet, they all have their liberty. The purpose of the working church is to teach and build individuals into productive citizens for society, for our nation, and to be a glory to their Creator by being industrious, not lazy--which laziness is of self or what people refer to as Satan.
Please help for this cause, and give freely from your heart. Not for me, not for yourself, but for our Creator, the I AM. There is only one Creator, who is all things. Give to help others by your charity; send any donations to: E-O-Ih or, Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers; c/o: Working church for Jehovih; Gustav Skurdal, President; at: 837 1/2 West G Road, Huntley, Montana 59037. Please help reduce poverty and crime and uplift our brothers and sisters by helping us to build a working church for our Creator. Please give today?

Poverty and Illiteracy, Give donations:

The current state of affairs in this country is terrible, however, their are those that have been suffering long before the economic collapse we have now. The poor and needy, it has been written, will always be among you, however, this is a false statement in many ways. The reason why these are among us is because mankind's greed and selfishness. People with billions give some, yet maintain funds they can never take when they go to the next world. Cities filled with millions create incapable means of helping all and poverty and crime rise. Thomas Jefferson stated: "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." Cities over 3,500 are deemed an abomination to our Creator because it denies us to help one-another and condones poverty and crime. This must change.
Incomes less than $15,000 a year are deemed poverty rate, and in these areas the homeless rate is relatively substantial (John M. Quigley, et al., HOMELESS IN CALIFORNIA: Empirical results, at viii, Berkley & Public Policy Inst. of Calif., An Francisco (2001)). Starting in the 1980's the homless rate in the United States have substantially rose and not yet declined. (Quigley, at 1). It is estimated that just in California there is about 360,000 homeless people in need of assistance, 37% being families with children. (Quigley, at 12; Homeaid cite as of 1/30/2009). In a Sacramento survey, according to the Sacramento Bee, in 2007 there were 2,452 homeless (including chronically homeless), and this year there is about 2,678 homeless on January 28. (Ed Fletcher, SacBee.com, Monday, August 11, 2008, page 2B). In metropolitan areas, like Sacramento, homeless averages 11 per 10,000 residents. That is a substantial number of people living in the streets without jobs, food, or means to sustain themselves.
Given 37% of poverty affects families with children, it is noted that homeless children is on the rise. In 1999 it averaged 332, to a whopping 919 in 2001, according to Sacramento City Unified Homeless Program coordinator, Monica McRho. Preschool holds majority of these homeless children.
Working church for Jehovih will be a combined 501(c)(3) plus a church, thereby allowing benefits a normal church cannot supply. The purpose is to set up actual vocational centers to teach skills, and help support the church and organization. Such vocational trades will be computers; auto mechanic; auto body repair; upholstery; clothing; and kitchen/restaurant type training. These will afford means for bringing in funding, with all net going to the organization to help others. It will supply not only a trade, and employment, and help in housing via the church. After a basic 9-12 month training, a person should acquire sufficiently by joint efforts to purchase a rental, buy food, clothing, and be helped in employment placement. These efforts should start reducing poverty and crime within our society, but the Working Church for Jehovih needs your help to get off the ground. Please send any donations to: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers; c/o: Working Church for Jehovih; Gustav Skurdal, Pres./Priest; at 5520 Omega Court, # 54; North Highlands, CA 95660.
If 1,000,000 people sent a mere $1.00 plus a $0.42 stamp, it would be a substantial assistance. Tell your friends, and give freely. Remember, the I AM gives you your breath, motion, thoughts, sight, strength, and all you are freely everyday; can you not give a little to help your poor brothers and sisters and help build a working church for our Creator? Please give?
