Branded

Just like the cattle from the ranch being driven through/to grasslands for feedings, they are owned. The brand reflects their ownership. Abercrombie & Fitch, Coca Cola, Reebok, all displayed on shirts and jackets and worn by subjects who pay a purchase price for the privilege of providing free advertising. Subjects often serve dual duty wearer multiple brands simultaneously, the Pepsi cap with North Face jackets.

They are called friends of the brand or followers, a slave by any other name. The brands could not survive on such a scale without them. They have no independent message, theirs is whatever the brand says and it is subject to the present position of the brand.

But you have a better choice.  With products from ScriptureStuff.com you can avoid their idols and state what you believe with subtle and attractive Christian wear; caps, sweatshirts, golf shirts, poetry cards, calendars, puzzles, and more.   And Go there today!

Deuteronomy 7:5 (KJV)
⁵ But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

Deuteronomy 7:25-26 (CEV)
²⁵ After you conquer a nation, burn their idols. Don't get trapped into wanting the silver or gold on an idol. Even the metal on an idol is disgusting to the LORD,
²⁶ so destroy it. If you bring it home with you, both you and your house will be destroyed. Stay away from those disgusting idols!
