>>>Interesting history. Why is it that every company I have ever heard of that was founded by a missionary type led to said missionary skipping out with the money? ;-) God rewarding his workers by fleecing us stay at home types!<<<

God only knows, maybe? I suppose if the missionary knows that God only knows and we don't, then the missionary can get away with it. I guess Christians not thrown to the lions make good buyers and then get thrown to the lions in a different way, with less money in their wallets. (LOL)

Missionary skipping out with the money...

<<Why is it that every company I have ever heard of that was founded by a missionary type led to said missionary skipping out with the money?>>

I believe this is referred to as the Missionary Position. Probably stems from the fact that someone gets known (biblically) the good old fashioned way. ;^)
