Because you don&#8217;t agree, we are immoral. God&#8217;s design &#8211; I have had many people say that you can not change the outcome of the dice, which is false and can be proven mathematically, but changing God&#8217;s design and smashing temples to dust &#8211; well I need to ask my priest how to answer that.

I love how he claims GTC is immoral for allowing me to come and learn how to tilt the odds in my favor as if casinos aren&#8217;t immoral for letting me come into the stone towers and easily give away my money in some instances.  I searched out GTC for classes.  I voluntarily chose to pay GTC for it&#8217;s services.  I took the Primer and enjoyed it so much that I am eagerly awaiting April for GTC\/AC for my refresher.  No where along the way have I felt pressured by GTC to give you my money or had I felt taken advantage of.  If I did, I certainly would not come back for more.  <\/p>\n<p>\tI see a lot of people who don&#8217;t necessarily agree with the concept of Dice Setting.  That&#8217;s their prerogative.  I choose to believe there&#8217;s something more to it and the math does prove it out.  Just because &quot;John Smith&quot; can&#8217;t wrap their brain around it doesn&#8217;t make it wrong.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on February 21, 2018, 12:38 pm<\/p>\n<div>Dom, so glad that you posted this.

See, I have gained another $5000.\u2019 His master said to him, \u2018Well done, good and faithful servant.\u201d Matthew 25:20-21.<\/p>\n<p>\tNow that I can put down a $500 or $1000 buy-in and leave with triple that, GTC has helped me be a good and faithful servant (that\u2019s how my wife, RTR4Ever, explained it). Oh, and I tithe on my winnings. As a matter of fact, I asked my pastor if he would accept the tithes on my \u201cfilthy lucre\u201d? He said, \u201cYes, we love winners at our church.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tIf anything, GTC has made us MORE moral by being better stewards of our hard earned resources.<\/p>\n<p>\tTo the casinos I say, \u201cDo not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.\u201d Proverbs 3:27. It is funny that a casino worker would at first think that it is probably illegal for a patron to actually make money, actually consistently be a winner.<\/p>\n<p>\tI\u2019ll just take this opportunity to quote one more scripture. When Dom, Doc, Rose, and all of the instructors teach us how to grip and throw the dice well, they are fulfilling a proverb: \u201cA slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.\u201c Proverbs 10:4. Couldn\u2019t be more moral. <\/p>\n<p>\tThus endeth the sermon.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> HardNine on February 23, 2018, 8:49 pm<\/p>\n<div>Preach!<\/p>\n<p>\tGreat sermon, brother!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on February 24, 2018, 1:28 am<\/p>\n<div>My wife got in a discussion with a good Southern Baptist member in our small town in Arkansas about gambling and he insisted his church wouldn&#8217;t accept contributions from its members.
