Obviously I'm not in the right location to buy this, and just upgrading my own system as we speak...

But to me that sounds like a rather tasty deal. Looking at us - uk conversion rates; that represents a VERY cheap way for someone to start up.

Thank you. It is really plug -n- play. Just add your music and you are in business.

----ONE LAST THING----

It has been bothering me that this post...

http://www.karaoke-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=15917

...was used as a forum to bash me and Christians in general for that matter. To set the record straight, and insure that folks are not led to believe the negative spin on Christianity perpetrated by certain individuals who wanted to judge me for leasing my gear to a friend who was still working in a bar.... (saying I was doing it for the money and that I am a hypocrite) The fact is that 100% of all of the money I received was tithed to my Church. I did not feel it anybody's business at the time, (because it is really a personal thing) but in retrospect I do not want to leave that accusation out here unanswered for others to get the wrong impression about Christians... Especially those who are considering exploring Christianity as an option for themselves.

Thank you... Please drive thru... That will be $1.00

In YOUR EYES it's still TAINTED money , so whether you kept it, OR gave it to your church, it is still against YOUR beliefs. Read your bible!!! I'll end this discussion now, as this is NOT the place for it.

God Bless,
Rosario

Where EXACTLY did you see me say anything about TAINTED money? You seem to be pretty intent on "spinning" things and putting words into other's mouths to degrade them and speculate their motives when if fact you know nothing about any of it. You did the same exact thing in your previous post in my other thread.

"Before you (djfrank), and Kelley, start looking for your halos, and wings, and sending ALL of the REST OF US TO KARAOKE HELL, you might think about what you're STILL doing. Djfrank, you're leasing your equipment to a FRIEND, so HE can be damned for all time, as long as you get THE MONEY. Kelley, you're also doing the same, by hiring SOMEONE ELSE to go use your equipment to do the DEVIL'S work. You're not SAVED, just because you're not there. You're STILL taking MONEY from the devils work. I know this post will not be popular, but I think that before you think you're RIGHTEOUS in the eyes of the LORD, you maybe shouldn't JUDGE OTHERS LEST YOU BE JUDGED."

... The FACT is that I never called anybody a sinner aside from myself. I just said I could no longer be around the activities that I SAW happening ALL the time. I love a LOT of the people with whom I spoke of. They are sweet, caring and kind people... BUT THEY ARE KILLLING THEMSELVES and RISKING KILLING OTHERS with their ACTIONS. They also get so drunk that they do things that they would be ashamed of any other time. You don't know me, you don't know Kelley either...so STFU and go live your miserable life and leave everybody else out of it.

Oh and for your other comment " I'm not anti-christian, but I am anti-hipocrite. As far as you're concerned, the people that are living the "bar life", are sinners, but YOU as a CHRISTIAN are still willing to take their MONEY. And also, you're not selling shoes to a stripper that MIGHT wear them to strip, you're LEASING "YOUR" equipment to a friend KNOWING that he is going to use it in a bar. So BASICALLY, it's ok to take the MONEY, as long as it's done in the LORD'S name. I've heard this story TOO MANY TIMES. Have a nice life!!

Rosario"

I would LOVE for you to SHOW me where I said ANY of that...

... Just grow up for crying out loud. None of your arguments are valid because they LACK factual basis. You accused me of saying things that I never said and based your lame debate on those incorrect facts. Go back and read... I never even said or implied anything that you based your arguments on... Nice try though... anybody with the IQ of a mildly intelligent chimp can deduct that your reasoning = false, making your argument = lame. Have you ever even studied basic reasoning? Are you really this oblivious?

Djfrank, you didn't say the money was tainted, and that's exactly where the problem lies. If you really want to be a christian, you have to learn to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Your words "I can no longer promote/ condone, or support the bar lifestyle. Those were YOUR WORDS, not mine. You said the only reason you stayed as a karaoke host was because you needed the income, but decided to get out so you could be a good christian. That's great, but now you have to walk the walk. If you can't promote/condone, or support a certain lifestyle because of your religious beliefs, then you COMPLETELY sever yourself from that lifestyle, including taking the money you made from leasing your equipment for someone else to live the lifestyle you personally don't promote/condone, or support. Maybe you don't understand this, because you haven't walked the walk long enough. Maybe after you've been a christian a little longer you'll understand what I am trying to tell you.

God Bless

Rosario

Wow, got to say, this seems like a 100% unfounded attack on someone's beliefs.

It's probably not meant as one, but that's how it comes across. You say you "had" to put your .02 in - why? It doesn't help the original poster.

Can't we all just accept each others beliefs?

Rosario, I'm quite frankly SHOCKED that you would in one part of your post talk about being a chrisitan longer and then knowing what you're trying to say.

There are people from ALL walks of life on this site... so please don't preach to anybody here. This is a forum for Karaoke, DJs, singers and fans of all the above.

Personal opinion: It's getting to be a load of crap that somebody can't come on here and make a post without someone else taking it TOTALLY in a different direction.

Isn't this thread #2 that Frank has made in regards to selling his equipment, and both of them contain comments questioning his religious beliefs?

Those who have nothing better to do than browse the threads looking for someone to belittle need to find another playground. This is getting kinda ridiculous.

I think the problem is the subject of "beliefs" was opened up by the O.P.
If you want to sell some equipment GREAT !!! List it for sale and go from there.
If you want to tell people you're getting out of the KJ business --"personal reasons" is all that is needed..it's nobody's business WHY you chose to get out.
If the door isn't open nobody will walk in and comment. I was guilty of making a WISEAZZ remark made in JEST myself which I apologized for.

This is a KARAOKE forum and SEX RELIGION AND POLITICS should be discussed elsewhere.

PEACE AND LOVE

I was asked why and I explained why. It is other people's business if they are interested and I am willing to tell them. That isn't for you to decide. I never forced my views or judged anybody. As a living being on this planet, I deserve to be treated without ill-will....and not to be attacked. The door was not "opened" for anybody to attack me. People don't open doors and invite attacks...(I could see if I started my post saying..."I am Christian... if you're not... you fail" or something stupid like that...) People may not have their doors locked, but it is people who have bad intentions who force open the doors to attack others. That isn't a Christian theory... that is basic human decency.

People should learn to practice more of it... Seriously.

People are so afraid to talk about religion and politics because they are too busy getting angry at each other over it, rather than listening to other's views and kindly disagreeing or agreeing to disagree. The real culprit here is personal PRIDE. Everybody thinks they are right. Everybody wants to believe that whatever they have chosen to follow in their lives is the right way. Arguing over these things is just an attempt to solidify what we believe to be true to make ourselves feel better. The fact is that I don't need ANYBODY to agree with me to feel confident in my chosen beliefs and the path that I choose to follow. The fact is NOBODY knows what is absolute fact. Religion is based on FAITH. Not proof. I am not here to argue about scientific proof and I will not do it. Science is based on man's need to explain things and have all of the answers. I don't need to have all of the answers. I know what works in my life. I would love for others to have the same peace that I do... but if you have joy and contentment in your life, I am happy for you... I wish the best for all people...and animals for that matter.

First of all... Who are you to judge me as a Christian? How on EARTH can you possibly tell me what God deems appropriate for ME in my walk of faith? You cannot. And here is just one more example of YOU making a false argument. I NEVER SAID THIS...."You said the only reason you stayed as a karaoke host was because you needed the income, but decided to get out so you could be a good christian." Go back and read. It seems you read things and then flavor the facts with your own views. You took one true statement that I said... "You said the only reason you stayed as a karaoke host was because you needed the income"... (I did say that) and added your own ending to it... Intelligent people can see that you are trying to color this "story" in your head to attempt to win an argument, blindly unaware that you are making a fool of yourself. To show you EXACTLY what I said RIGHT after the above statement that I DID in fact make...

"There is something wrong with going to church on Sunday after playing the music that people expect to hear in a bar... or singing songs by request to please customers like "crazy (@$%&#!)"...etc. You get the point... And don't get me wrong... nobody twisted my arm. I am drawn to music that is totally sinful in content. I grew up loving all the 80's hair metal that is all about sex and partying. I enjoyed singing the songs that I liked... I enjoyed the attention from all of it. But the point is... It's wrong for me. There is enough sin, negativity and temptation in this world without being immersed in it three nights a week. Anyways, this is probably way too long and more than any of you wanted to know... but there it is...

I wish everybody luck ... the best."

Now where in there did it say I am deciding to get out so I can become a good Christian? Please tell me? It is obvious that your reading comprehension leaves a LOT to be desired, so let me break this down for you... since you are making it a habit of drawing false conclusions and basing your debates on them.
I PERSONALLY felt it was not good for ME. I didn't feel RIGHT about going to church 5 or 6 hours after I had just got a whole crowd of drunk women and men going nuts while I was singing "Crazy Bi+ch" I felt it was wrong for me. I AM A SINNER. I ENJOYED IT TOO MUCH. I know what MY weaknesses are. (PRIDE, FLESH, etc)
I also NEVER said I was completely disassociating myself. I am sure I will still go sing out once in a while. That is completely different from having it a huge part of my life 3 nights a week. There are a lot of other reasons that I stayed that are way beyond the money. The money was more of a key factor before I got my life back on track and in church. I had been feeling like it was not a healthy environment for me for reasons beyond religion. The fact is that I had the blessing of my Pastor(s) in the last few months to stay and listen for God's call for me to leave. It was obvious that there was some of his work for me to do there. My wife and I have had the opportunity to disciple to people and helped get some folks to church.

and as far as... "Maybe you don't understand this, because you haven't walked the walk long enough. Maybe after you've been a christian a little longer you'll understand what I am trying to tell you."

1. This is a pretty judgemental comment...and would by most Christians be considered the absolute opposite of true Christianity.

2. I completely understand what you are trying to tell me. I have been Christian for a long time...good or bad. The fact is, I don't follow YOU. Your opinion of my faith and how I conduct myself means nothing to me.

3. If you had any idea how many people have emailed me and PM'd me with support who think you are completely nasty and mean, perhaps you would take a look in the mirror and stop judging others. If these messages I have received are any indication, and if you are indeed Christian, perhaps you should reevaluate your methods, because you are not being an effective embassador for Christ. (The complete opposite actually)

I posted not to offend you or your beliefs but state facts--there is a reason people don't discuss religion ... it usually breads arguments and resentments from one side or another. I agree and support your right to believe and say what ever you want where ever you want to say it ... You or others shouldn't be surprised to receive opposite views and comments when "beliefs or religion" is brought up even though you didn't ask for it ..

Thats just human nature... Doesn't make it right , it just makes it so.

I agree with this. The same goes for politics.

Wrong! I am the one who specifically asked Frank why he was leaving. He gave a fairly short answer if I remember, no judging us going on or preaching. Frank did not deserve the treatment he got. I don't think he should have dredged it back up but apparently it was eating away at him. I can't blame him for that, the attack was vicious.

No one deserves to be attacked for their religous beliefs, but you can't actually be surprised that it caused a stir? If you think talking politics or religion won't invite comments then you are fooling yourself..like I said DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT but thats just the world turns .

I personally find it atrocious that someone would tell another how to live their religion. There are many different forms of Christianity, as there are other religions.
To be so judgemental and tell someone they are living it wrong is not only none of their business to do so, but that poster's opinions about Franks decision should have never been posted to the board publicly in the first place. Frank was asked and he answered (fair enough!) and when I read it, I certainly didn't read it the way the poster in question did. I read it the way Frank meant it. It was at odds with what HE believed and the way he wanted to live. Nothing more, no accusations or judgements about any others here. If he was truly that adamant that it was "evil" (MY words, not anyone else's!) then he wouldn't even post here anymore. What he said was that he cannot be immersed in the lifestyle anymore. Simple enough, no? I certainly didn't take it as an attack on MY lifestyle. It's just not right for him, just like many lifestyles are not right for me. Doesn't mean I fry anyone who lives them. Live and let live.
It all sounds like it could turn into a "I'm a better Christian than you are!" type of thing. That's not what it's about.
So can we leave the religion (and politics) off the board? We have enough to argue about without bringing such volatile subjects to the board!

I hope this ends this conversation, Djfrank, you are right, I am wrong, I sincerely apologize.
