I have a maximum wage for religious reasons

Not even the righteous can leave this place

Donate the amount you're over by to charity.
Seems better for the money to go towards helping someone than for it to sit in a company account.

These are, unfortunately not my options.

what church has this wage policy bullshit that you are a part of?

>I would give it to charity but I'm supposed to do that anyway
I really don’t get why you can’t just give the extra money to charity.

>Jesus said to follow in his path you need to get rid of all you're belongings donating to the poor, and live poor
I'm pretty sure he said this to some rich guy who was sitting in a tree or something.

But Jesus also told a parable about being smart with what wealth you have and multiplying it.
iirc it was the parable of the talents.
A guy gives 3 servants some money to hold.
2 of them invest it and one guy just lets it sit in a hole somewhere.
The point of the parable was to teach people to use their money/resources wisely by investing.

If you want to actually follow the example of Jesus you can keep the raise and give the rest to the poor.

i’m a broke college student if you’d like to venmo me the extra money!

really though, i’m not religious but i was catholic for the longest time so here’s what i would do if i were you

you worked hard for that money and i don’t think god/jesus would be angry at you for accepting the higher wage

god is all loving

you sound like a righteous person who already acts according to god, so i don’t think accepting the higher wage would change where you stand in your relationship with god

ask your family about this as well

We shouldn't have jobs that make money beyond a certain amount. For example, we would never be lawyers. Instead, we should do humble work for a humble wage. Giving to charity is wonderful but it shouldn't be mine to give in the first place.

I don't have venom, unfortunately.

I appreciate the lesson. I'm not likely to change my religious beliefs which are a deep part of my family tradition because people on a website didn't agree with it. I'm here looking for creative ideas about how to solve my situation.

*venmo

>To those who have, more will be given. From those who have little, even that will be taken from them.
It seems rough and unfair, but this is very true when it comes to finances.
You are in a position to make money, so you make a lot of money. Others who make nothing, are severely lacking the money.
You don't spit the things you are given out, you use it to improve the world as you see it possible.
Donating to the less fortunate is a way of dealing with this. Living without possessions just means you don't need to spend it all on stuff you don't need. The amount you make at your job shouldn't be seen as an important figure. You can save it all for when the storm comes or you can donate it in small batches if you'd like. Don't see it as a maximum wage, but rather a maximum of wealth you accumulate or maximum of things you can buy for yourself.
Let's say you could make enough money to hire someone to work for you. Giving another person the ability to provide for his family makes his family a way to donate to the less fortunate too. Money is not automatically evil.

I know it’s your religion, but that is really dumb. You’ve been blessed with more than you need so give it to charity. Think of it as god’s plan for you to help those less fortune. It’s so stupid for you to complain about a few extra dollars in your paycheck when you could easily use it to help others.

Again, I don't intend to argue this. I'm just paying attention for advice that fits the parameters of my problem. I've never been good at arguing this stuff anyway. If I don't come up with a solution, I'm leaving my job. That's a serious thing and why I'm so intent on focusing on that problem.

Op is a faggot

Would it not also benefit a person if he charged me $40 per week as a fee to let me keep my job?

Or it could be like a pretax benefit I pay, I just have to deduct it manually.

Decrease dependents on tax form W-4 or county equivalent and the government will withhold more of your money. Not that I believe this post but I am up to a challenge.

I would accept paying the tax on that extra $1/hour

Sorry, I misunderstood. I don't know if that would work because I have no dependents.

Do it. Claim zero to get maximum minimum.

You're retarded. Just donate it to your church or another charity, it's what Jesus would do.

It will if you filled it correctly. You still claim like three, even it you have none.

Don't I get it back with the tax refund?

I'm not sure why anyone would expect someone this religious to actually use their heads.

I think I figured out what I need to do. I just need to find someone neutral to help me. Thanks all.

You may recoup some. But I figured your religion already had a strategy to handle stuff like that or if you happen to find twenty dollare or something. Im sure you can arrange for the union to take some more from pay check too.

>out of work
>nearly homeless, destitute
>this guy complaining he gets paid $1 too much/an hour
Give it to charity, dumb asshole

Our take would be for me to get a more humble job. I don't want to pay thr union for more services. I would need it to be neutral - as in I don't receive anything for it and it's treated as not mine to begin with.

Hi! Well, you can burn it! Nobody will use it anyway =)

I think that's against the law but otherwise the right idea.

So. Donations are out of the question? I wish i had a better understanding of this religion.
This guy seems to have an idea but there is the mark of the beast in his code.

Donation is in this case. I think the key is to pay a fee add though I were paying for a benefit.

Jesus path is against the law? Burn it! The law is with the government? Burn it!
You live in a city ruled by laws implemented by the government? Burn yourself!

=)

Live good, die grate!

As*

Burn it!

Bury the physical money and make a treasure map. God will sort out who finds it.

Yeah, but i mean, you could set up for deductions from bank account with all sorts of non political charities for children and museums and stuff. That is insufficient?

Give to Jow Forums

Having the money in the first place is frivolous. I do give to charity but am expected to give time and effort as well as money. Giving money to charity is easy and doesn't put you face to face with those in need.

Giving to Jow Forums would be either paying charity or a service. I think I need to have someone who essentially skims the top of my paycheck neither as a service, nor as a charity.

I think that we are onto something. Thinking about teachers and the invalid complaints that they don't make enough. But some of the part time teachers who do make very little still buy things themselves to contribute th education of students.

Is there a way that we cam employ your time spent helping others that will also cost you money? Or is this unacceptable?

You need a whooping

Also unacceptable. I imagine there is someone I can find by posting on craigslist financial services who would be able to set something up to take my excess pay. I think my problem is solved.

And you cannot even get pussy in return?

Donate it

>when you realize your troll attempt failed

Taxation is theft reeeeesed

I'm sorry you think I'm trolling.

I'm posting to CL. Thanks!

XDDDDDD

> I'm making an extra $40 a week or $2,080 per year. What should I do?
Save up. Buy hookers.

t. Jesus did.
youtu.be/_lCshQueKjQ

There is nothing illegal about that proposal. Does reeeeesed mean reconnaissance?

Isn't there also a line in the Bible about something like "Give unto Caeser what is his". Basically saying you should try to get along with society as long as it isn't completely abhorrent. Jesus was a smart guy, I suspect he would be ok with you making a tiny bit too much money if you gave the extra away immediately.

>what is his
What is caesar's.

The wrong pronoun can change the esoteric meaning. I don't think OP is taking religion lessons from anons. Just wants a smaller paycheck and already fucked us off for craigslist. But now, we can dick around in this thread.

>Not him, but Jesus said to follow in his path you need to get rid of all you're belongings donating to the poor, and live poor

Yeah uh Jesus never said that, like that other dude said the closest thing was when jesus was talking to Zacchaeus cause he was a tax collector hiding up in a tree

this thread is bullshit man

I've read that comic book more than once and Jesus pretty much said some shit like that (also more than once) and (also not him)

>and Jesus pretty much said some shit like that

Nah, I was raised catholic, went to church every sunday and on top we were still taught bible study in school twice a week up until I was like 15 years old. Jesus ain't ever said that you gotta eat shit and live in dirt to be a good Christian

In other words. You haven't read that book more than once, you have been brainwashed. I challenge you to read the complete bible and then know what you are talking about. Old and new. Cover to cover.

In fact, i challenge you to read the first page in the first book of the New Testament and you will see something that you were never told in church because it goes against everything they tried to teach you. Be back in five minutes.

Nah man I read the bible a million times, I'm not the one making shit up about Jesus saying that Christians ought to live in poverty

If you give all your belongings to the poor, how will they get into heaven? They'll have too many belongings then too.

Then you know that Jesus inherited the kingdom of The Jews because of his lineage on his father's side. His biological father.

Jesus had no biological father. Immaculate conception.

Then, you haven't read page one of the New Testament.

what's that got to do with OP and his made up rule about maximum wage, stay on topic man

That is simply his religion. I'm not going to question his choice.

Do you seriously not believe in the virgin birth? What weird sect do you belong to?

Its like hot potato. But money and possession.

>his religion

yeah but he says he's christian and based on jesus but the entire premise is false

that's fucked up
>everyone races to give away everything they own
>losers go to hell

Read page fucking one! I don't belong to shit. It demonstrates Jesus's right to the throne. And speaks of his blood line to King David.

We all have our ideas. Jesus speaks in parables.

Matthew 1:18-20
>18: Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19: Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly.
20: But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Amazing how people just follow the leader.

That is incomplete.

Why would Joseph even consider dismissing her if it was his kid?

There are contradictions. Different gospels give different locations for his birth.

So how can you be so sure Joseph is his biological father?

what parable did he read

I am not trying to sell user anything. But i do encourage user to read for themselves if they are interested. Ancient traditions (and still) are pretty geared towards mem as opposed to women and the bible must attempt to demonstrate the birthrights of jesus.

He is asked why he speaks in riddles and his answer is so that those who understand can comprehend them. Implying that he willingly withheld speaking freely in mixed company. Those who don't deserve to know, cannot.

Found someone who may be interested in doing this over PayPal! Thanks again and glad to see that my conundrum led to good conversation.

Donate it to charity.

It was real fun user. I invited some friends over to argue religion in here.

Create a diversion bump.

And, it looks like the CL guy isn't interested. :/

Ah! What are we going to do? You cannot ask for a demotion at work? Like a change in position that will allow for lower pay but you can still keep the job you enjoy but just a bit different.

Oh, maybe i was unclear. OP hav thought he solved problem and then Anons started using this post as a dance floor. But now, OP's problem remains. You may commence (on topic)

I don't think I have anything more to say. I was just updating those who might be interested. Someone will go for it. I think, from an outside perspective, it's "free" money. It's not actually free as I have to work for it, show the hours worked, and there's time spent communicating between myself and whoever i pay. I'm sure people think I'm a lunatic asking for this as well.

You’re seriously giving a random person your extra money instead of donating to a charity or gifting things to homeless people? You’re a nutter.

>lunatic
Nah user. Yooz my bro. Have fun with it.
