So, recently a guy sold me a "50$" bus card as collateral to borrow 28$ from me. I agreed but only because he had gotten to know me and had all the appearance of being a meek and humble Christian always talking about Jesus.
It turns out there was -.25 cents on the card. So, I got played like a sucker. I should have called the number before I bought the card but it was like 4:30 in the morning so no one would have been there to verify anything.
Well, a sweet lady shows up at my door the next night begging for 10$ for a cab. She kept saying "Please...please" and looking at me with such sincerity. She said in her thick immigrant accent, "I pay you back tomorrow. I get paid tomorrow...I promise". Then she gave me a hug.
Well, I never saw a dime from her. Turns out the man who sold me the bus card will do anything for crack and allegedly he will even perform oral sex on a guy for it. The woman that showed up at my door was his prostitute sent by him.
I told him the card had -.25 on it and he gave me a meek and humble Christian smile and said, "I'm sorry, I gave you the wrong one".
This guy is a master con-artist most likely, but I feel sorry for him, so wont give him any more money, but I'm not going to be mean to him either. God must be paying me back for times I've been bad, but one thing I've never done is used Jesus and pretend I'm someone's friend for drug money.
I described him to one of my other friends. I said, "The guy with the gray afro". He said, "That's mike. He owes me and lots of people money. He's a con-artist".
But I don't think I will snitch on the guy to the staff here. Multiple people want him evicted. I've never snitched on anyone...neither have I reported a user at RF or anywhere. I just grew up in environments where tattle tailing is the lowest most shameful thing a person can do (after pedophilia). "Snitches get stiches".
I don't think I will tell on him because he didn't do anything illegal to me, I just feel he's going to keep manipulating people, getting them to lend him money, selling them bogus things, and fooling them with his appearance of being a kind, meek, and humble "Christian".
He came into my room and rebuked me for having a picture of a Shaman. He said, "you can't mix witchcraft and Christianity". I thought, "He really is a man of God and integrity even if I don't agree with him".
I'm trying to find that one trustworthy person in this ghetto. Two others I borrow money out to. One pays me back. The other cooks good meals for me and promises to pay back interest.
I'm definitely a sucker when it comes to kind, humble, needy looking people. Especially when they look me in the eyes with sincerity and make a promise. I ask, "what would Jesus do?"

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

If I was God I'd give everybody as much money, food, gold, or whatever, just to show them that money doesn't buy happiness.
