I’m confused. There’s this guy named Jesus in the Bible who said ""If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."………then there’s this "mega-church" with a million mortgage who spends ,000 on live animals for a manger scene at Christmas.

How did Jesus morph into mega-church?

me me me……………But how does this happen when they are reading that EXACT book you’re quoting from?

My mom owns a cleaning company that does work for several apartment communities, contracted out through the owner which is a finance company. As a contracted vendor, what are the rights as far as billing/payments for services rendered? Is there anything at the State/Federal level that prevents companies from not paying out?

I live in Oregon and I’ve been planning for 6 years that once I graduate high school I would go to college at the Art Institute of Orange County and get my degree in Graphic Design.

But lately, I’ve kinda been having second thoughts. I’m thinking that maybe after I graduate high school, I should just stay here in my medium sized town in Oregon. I absolutely love my church Applegate and can’t see myself ever pulling away from it. I want to get involved in the ministry and help counsel church camps and lead worship and all. And also, I would go to Cosmotology school if I stayed here. There is this great hair school called OIC (Oregon Institute of Cosmotology) and I’ve always wanted to be a hair stylist. And it only takes a year to obtain, and its around ,000. If I went to the Art Institute to get my Graphic Design degree it would be ,000. Big difference. I really just don’t want to graduate from college and be in a huge buttload of debt. But if I got my cosmotology degree, it would only be ,000 and I’m sure I could pay that off and not have a huge college loan that I’d have to be paying till I die. Also, if I stayed here in my hometown in Oregon, I would take a few art classes at my local university or community college. And I would probably work at a coffee stand like Starbucks, Human Bean, or Dutch Bros. And I would save SOOO much money living either with my mom (free) or renting an apartment…which would be like 0 a month, rather than paying ,000 for an apartment down in Orange County where the Art Institute is located. It all seems so good, cheap, and safe to stay here in my hometown.

But my older brothers don’t want me to do that.
They think that it’s good to BRANCH OUT after high school, and they think it’s good to have the experience of moving somewhere new and unfamiliar and they think that you grow up alot more and mature faster if you do that. They think I wouldn’t grow as much if I just stayed in my safe little hometown.

And they are right…I guess I do like the idea of staying here because it’s safe and familar to me. But there are SOO many benefits of staying here. I’d save SO much money. I’d get my hair degree in a year. It’s only ,000 so I’d be able to pay it off. I would be EXTREMELY involved in my beloved church that is amazing. I’d take a few art classes at the local colleges. I’d work at a coffee stand. I’d know all the people around me….it just all seems so good!

But would I really not grow, and mature as much as an individual if I played it safe and stayed here? What do you think?

Thanks for reading this lonng, detailed question. I appreciate it =D
Thank you guys so much.
You guys have been really encouraging and helpful.
If I stay here in my hometown tho, I just don’t want to always wonder what would have happened if I did go to the Art Institute down in Orange County. I’ll always wonder…ya know??

I am so depressed. I try to see all of the ways my life is full and blessed, but I just can’t get past the things that have happened to me this past year. Exactly a year ago yesterday, my husband of 24 years was placed on administrative leave from his job as a high school teacher. He was accused of being inappropriately involved with a student. I defended him during the investigation, to my family and to our church. I was committed to him and did not believe the allegations. On Christmas Eve, he walked out on the family to move in with the 18 year old student ( he is 53). I was shocked and still am. Of course he lost his job. I was left with the bills and a mortgage. I thought I would lose the house and haveto file bankruptcy. My son was attending an expensive college in New York and I could not afford to send him back for the spring semester. Shortly after this transpired, my father was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Life couldn’t seem worse.
Since that terrible day, I finalized my divorce, and fought for and received full custody of my 12 year old daughter. I received a promotion at work. I was able to sell my home and purchase a smaller one for my daughter and myself. I got my son back into school. I received a scholarship to complete my graduate degree. My dad had surgery and is doing well.
So many things have gone well for me. I am proud of the way I handled my divorce, yet I am so depressed. I am taking medication. I am fine when I am at work, I am actually doing very well with my career. The weekends kill me. I am so lonely. I go to church, but I still feel alone because nearly everyone there is married. I am grateful that my daughter is still at home and I dread the day she will leave for college. I know many women who are divorced and haven’t had a date in years. I feel so alone. Is it wrong to want to have someone to share your life? Is it wrong to wish you had someone to give you a hug everyday and kiss you goodnight? How do I get past this?

According to the September 1, 2008, Oriental Daily News (Chinese Edition) has published a detailed article regarding to the 107 police men owed a total HK 67million dollars. How can it be? Is suppose the police force has the highest pays in this world? The detailed report is as follows:
Policemen, 95; police officers, 3; police inspectors, 6; and higher rank, 2. The reasons of why they are indebted are stated in the followings.
Family members and friends problems
Lavishing spending in women and materials
Investment in stock markets and funds
Heavy gambling
Many of police officers are involved with the Hong Kong under world loan sharks and it happened with a few committed suicide for couldn’t stand the torture and interference of organized crime gangs. My nephew’s church members told me that many Hong Kong police men are also the members of the under world gangs, too. That’s why the Hong Kong crimes are continues to grow. When I was the restaurant owner in the prestigious Tsim Sha Tsui area, I and the partners needed to pay a protection fee of ,000 per month. We eventually decided to close it for good and forever. I reported to the police station and we kept on being interfererd and threatened. It is a serious problem of Hong Kong problems of heavy gambling in stock markets, horse racing and football bettings. Furthermore, the loan sharks also take the advantages of the policeman’s addictive gambling and investment, then many police men become the workers for the under world loan sharks. What a shame of Hong Kong police force.
Can any one suggest how to overcome such sham of Hong Kong police force. Many friends and I were at least once or more as victims in this corrupted city. The police wrong doings are expressed as protecting the criminals because they are criminals, too. I only once complained to the police as an 84 years old citizen about the interference of my restaurant. I don’t trust them since then for at least 50 years.

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffee pot with water to prepare his morning coffee. Joe can afford the coffee because corporate loving rich Republicans exported our jobs overseas with NAFTA and CAFTA.

With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications work because money-grubbing Republicans refuse to place price controls on drugs, thereby allowing pharmaceutical companies to earn enough money to pay for the extensive R&D and take the risks necessary to create miracle drugs. But the drugs still cost too much because government mandated health insurance has artificially increased the demand for medications with no one to police the prices, but that’s OK since Joe’s Bush-supporting bossman pays all but of Joe’s medications.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient, none of which are damaging to his skin because some animal-hating sadistic corporations paid some scientists to swab the shampoo in some poor rabbit’s eyes. Just for kicks.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some dollar-worshipping conservative developers built some nice houses with pretty yards 15 miles from the industrial sector of the city, and Joe drives his comfortable and affordable “Japanese” car made in Georgia without the inflated cost of union labor, and Joe can stop on his way home to pick up a package of reasonably priced T-shirts at the evil Wal-Mart, instead of having to park his car and take a filthy subway to pay twice as much downtown.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because his parents instilled in him the value of hard work so he studied when he was in school and learned that he could get by just fine without relying on the government. Joe’s employer pays these benefits because Joe’s employer knows Joe’s a valuable employee and Joe’s employer doesn’t want him to go work for his competitor. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he’ll get another job pretty quick because he’s a self-starting go getter who has a lot of friends at church and from college that he can call to find more work.

It’s noontime and Joe would need to make a bank deposit but doesn’t need to go to a bank because evil monopolist Bill Gates helped make computers useable to the general public and he can automatically pay bills thanks to the economies of scale of Bank of America or Wachovia installing the expensive equipment to allow Joe this convenience. While Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC, Joe doesn’t have to worry about Democrats in Congress pulling the rug out from under the real estate market again like they did in the 80s. At least Joe hopes they learned their lesson.

Joe pays a low rate mortgage because Americans voted for that war monger Ronald Reagan in 1980 and Bill Clinton had the good sense to reappoint Alan Greenspan. And Joe can afford a nicer home, not only just because of the low mortgage rates, but also because he gets to keep more of his hard earned money because Republican Presidents in the 1980s and in 2001 cut his taxes.

After work this evening, Joe plans to visit his father at his farm home in the country that Joe’s dad still owns because his landed-gentry Republican County Commissioners have refused to steal his land in the name of a higher tax base.

Joe gets in his car for the drive because the government added additional lanes to the local highways that people actually use instead of throwing money away on a regional rail system that studies project people would little use. Joe gets to his house in record time because death-loving Republicans allow you to go 65 and 70 mph, and you can because pollution loving Republicans don’t make you plug your car in overnight so you can drive for 2 hours at a maximum speed of 20 mph.

Joe arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house, but he doesn’t because when his grandparents moved to the United States they learned to speak English and didn’t spend their time complaining about how the government wasn’t doing enough for them. The house didn’t have electricity until some military-industrial power company plopped a big ol’ nuclear power plant over by the river.

Joe is happy to see his father, so they go to the local bar and enjoy a beer and a cigar, where Joe’s dad tells him that if the estate tax is repealed, Joe can keep the farm in the family for a fourth generation and won’t have to sell it to pay the taxes.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on NPR. The reporters keep telling stories about how bad corporations only care about profit and that higher taxes will allow the government to “invest” in our future. They don’t mention that the beloved Democrats have vilified the very people who have provided us jobs, good and services from their sma

Please read all of this before commenting, I have included every bit of information possible.
I have a psycho religious crazy neighbor that has made what I consider to be a death threat, but I fear she is untouchable. This lady has caused tremendous grief for me both financially and mentally since I bought my house 2 years ago. She is not a direct neighbor of mine, and it’s almost a half mile drive for her to get to my house.
It started in February of 2007 when I had first moved in, my neighbor’s dogs were barking and she became irate with me that I would not do anything to control them. She demanded in my house and had her nerdy goon of a son with her, who tried pushing his way past me into my house. I blocked him and she threatened to sue me for trying to cause harm to her child.
The next round came in April of 2007 when she called the police about me using a palm sander to sand my car. Even though my city has no "quiet hours" I was fined 0 and the judge upheld it.
Then in June of 2007 she claimed that I was harboring 5 dogs (our city limit is 3 and all have to be registered). I owned 2 at the time, both registered and legal. The Animal Control officer picked them up claiming they did not have collars on. He made me pay a 0 cash fine to get the dogs back and wrote me over 25 tickets totaling more than ,000 for the 5 dogs saying I had let them out minutes before. Again, I went to court and the judge uphelp ALL fines saying that I was unable to prove that I did not have the animals, even though the officer admitted he did not see any animals and had not picked any up in our area.
Then January of 2008 my motorcycle mysteriously caught fire, and ended up burning my house down. Luckily the fire department rescued my dog inside the house and I was not home. The fire was never investigated as an arson.
While the house was being rebuilt the same lady filed complaint after complaint that the workmen were being too noisy, the cranes were too tall, the dumpster was an eyesore, you name it. Then in March of 2008 at 2am she came over to the house because she heard a barking dog. She forced the front door open and came into the house, where one of my dogs bit her. She took me to court suing for damages and the euthinazation of my dog, under her supervision. The same judge kept referring to her as "the pretty young lady" and saying that I was a nuisance.
So I have taken an active part in our neighborhood, and with the help of another homeowner, started an alliance to try to curb the recent spike in crime. I was elected to the office of Vice President and she now claims I am the AntiChrist, citing my "rise to power".
Normally none of this would bother me, but remember the psycho crazy religious statement. She is a part of a fringe Baptist Church that has been and is being investigated to be a domestic terrorist group. They are listed on a few cult watch websites, mainly for giving full blown assault rifles to teenage boys in the church. Her son is now 18 and I am sure has been given one of these wonderful manhood passage rights.
A next door neighbor of hers was so scared about comments this lady made that she came to my house at 11 pm last night to warn me.
She is a constant threat to our dogs, everyones. Last week she got mad at another neighbor and followed police cars into our cul de sac demanding that they round up every dog and have them all put down. All the neighbors hid their dogs and we lied saying we think she let them all out, as most of us keep them in our homes anyhow.
I would say we would start looking for a new neighborhood, but my credit is horrible now and there is no way I can get a loan for another home.
Also, a restraining order is not really an option as I’m sure the judge would never sign one against her, and it would have to go through him, and may tip her over the edge.
Her husband "committed suicide", but a friend of mine who left the church said that he was afraid of her and wanted to leave but the church essentially voted to have him murdered.
She has slaughtered cats and left them on the front porches of neighbors as a "cleansing" against the devil.
She says her son is now a "soldier of God" and "poised to rid the world of evil with the spilt blood of the devil"
Also, she works for a somewhat powerful attorney and he makes her legal problems disappear, no matter how severe.
What can I do? Anything? We are in Oklahoma, in a small town that in about 3 square miles surround by a much larger city, on all sides. I am seriously now afraid for my life, but have no idea what to do. Please help!

We would, really, but the financial situation will not allow it. We have animals that apartments and rentals will not allow, including a squirrel. Plus I have vehicles that are stored in the backyard which is an acre, that we really cannot get rid of.
Well federal authorities have supposedly looked into this too, but they are careful to not make direct ties to their members. I’m worried that I’ll be dead before anything can be done, and all in the name of God. I’m Baptist and normal, not the AntiChrist by the way
This is her church.

Check it all out, websites and everything. Everyone in the neighborhood fears her. I would take the first shot, but I’m not about to go to jail when she has the law on her side

I recently posted about a loan. I got two decent people who responded. Out of 26 responses, only two who actually tried to help me. I thank you for that. I know that times are hard, man do I know. I asked for help with a .000.00 loan. I got so many schemers contacting me about a loan, and of course advanced fee’s it is disgusting. After seeing all of these people who could care less, I guess there isn’t anything else left for me. I have helped so many people in my life, financially, spiritually, and mentally I can’t begin to name them all. My heart has always been pure. After my first post, I had to send my dog to heaven. So very hard to do, and stayed with her until the end. My life has no meaning any more. My world has been destroyed. I have always taken care of everyone else, family, friends and strangers alike. That is what we all should do. It is obvious I can’t get money, can’t find peace, nor is there hope for my diseases. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sick of the medical profession leeching off of the ill. Sick of watching people prey on people. It’s sad that money is the core of society. So very sad. I know the ones I love will be hurt the most, but the rest of the world will never know I’m gone. Isn’t that sad. At least I know I did make an impact on the lives of those around me. I helped a teenage girl get sober. I was there to help the church when they needed me, I saved a person from drowning. I survived a brutal childhood. I have fed the hungry, When a family who didn’t have were not going to give a christmas to their small children, I did. No fanfare, no questions, out of love. Kids deserve it more than anyone else. I’ve seen people at there worst, and didn’t like what I saw. This world is so very cruel. Can’t take anymore. To all the good people in this world, continue to be good. I have always believed that whatever you put into the universe, you will get back. I was wrong. I just hope I am going to a better place. I don’t intend this for people to feel sorry for me. I don’t like pity. Pray for me.
And now I must return to the dust from were I began. Is suicide a sin?

Please tell me I heard this wrong? Between the tape I watched of him talking about his civilian army, (hey, Saddam had one of those!) the America hating friends he has, the America hating church he attended, his wife’s thesis where she clearly states she distrusts white people & a whole bunch of other shady things popping up daily on this guy do people really think they don’t have to pay their mortgage or put gas in their cars anymore? Is he handing out free houses & gas cards I don’t know about? Is this only for people who don’t want to work? Is this why he’s raising taxes so we can put gas in this idiot’s car & pay her mortgage? Do people really beleive this? I have a cousin who is black & she said her whole family thinks Obama is offering free health care then when she expalins to them that is not what he said, his speech clearly says "affordable" health care , She says people are only hearing what they want to hear about him & no one can say different or they are hammered. McCain clearly states he’s giving a K health care credit which is plenty to buy a nice family policy, & he’s doubling the child care tax which will give us a bigger refund at tax time, all great American things for the hard working American. I don’t know about you but I do not want to pay for this womens gas with my hard earned money! & what the hell is she teaching her pretty little daughters?? Freebies & government cheese?? I always thought when you worked hard & got that pay check you were doing alright, now under Obama I’d have to contribute to this loser for her gas………huh, what ? Please only serious answers please , I’m a registered independant & voting in a couple of hours!
My dear Joel, You have no idea what I make or what I’m worth nor do you know what people who make 0K sound like , if that’s the case Brittney Spears should be "making like . like an hour right ya’ll …. now go back to work someone wants fries with that ….

Now Im buying a commercial building.The deal is owner carries contract, or finance the amount with his/her own interest. Is it best if we include the real estate taxes (which are about less than ,000.00) with the principal payment and interest or just pay the principal payment and interest without real estate taxes?Is it true that adding the real estate taxes can increase the interest on the loan?I would like advice on this.thanks.

I have been married to my husband for 5 years and we dated 2 years before that. I am now 24 and he is soon turning 25. I was a virgin when I first dated him and he wasn’t. He had only had sex with his ex before me (she was not a virgin when she was with him), who I completely hated in school (not because of him at all, being that I didn’t even know who he was until 10th grade) and still hate her very much (especially because of him)! Besides that though, 5 months before we got married, I became pregnant and was actually scared to death, because I never saw my life turning out this way. All through high school, I saw myself having fun with my life traveling and probably never having kids until I was at least 30. Anyways, I didn’t get a marriage proposal before we got married and it actually just seemed like a mutual thing where I guess we felt we had to (his mom is catholic). we picked out the rings together. I loved him and still do, but I always felt like he didn’t, because for one reason he never proposed and other reasons I will bring up soon. We moved out together and got married in the church where my mom had previously married my step-dad and the same church she was buried at when I was 11 (she was killed in a car accident). I was 5 months pregnant when we got married and after had argued like normal couples, I guess. After, we moved into my dad’s when my dad went to jail and helped take care of my little sister. We argued a whole lot for different reasons, but I guess we were normal. I would always feel like he was cheating on me or whatever, but really felt deep down he would never actually do that. He always hung out with his best friend who is still his best friend today and was while he was in school. I think what I was really mad about was that I was jealous of his ability to go and have fun and I was home with my first baby girl all the time. So later on my dad came home from jail and that was bad when we had fights, cause then my own family got involved. So, when my daughter was 9 months old, I became pregnant again with our son. This is when things get really bad! We didn’t have nearly enough room for us 3 and especially not for soon to be 4, because my dad’s house was only 3 small bedrooms. I realized we had to find a big enough place for us before I had my son. 8 months I looked for a house and it was so hard, because even though my husband made enough money for house payments and had excellent credit, he didn’t have taxes taken out of his checks, so it was called "stated income" which made us have a higher interest rate on our mortgage and a more difficult time finding a lender. Now, you’re probably wondering why we chose to buy a house instead of rent, well, I WANTED to RENT, but HE thought it was a waste of money and was used to growing up in a house that his parents bought after he was born. Let’s just say, he was very "comfortable" in his upbringing and I was definitely not as wealthy, never in my life (country girl). So, after we moved very far into the country away from family, he drove a hour each way to work AND worked with his best friend where they delivered furniture. I never knew when he got off work or if he even was working, I just had to take his word for it. I was at home with my two babies and had no way to go anywhere, unless we had two cars, which was rare and even when we did, we usually had no gas money or money to do anything, which was fine, because me and my babies would have all day to enjoy each other and the outdoors and a brand new home, which I had only lived in one like that when I was little for a small amount of time, being that we always moved as children too. So, he would come home late and I never knew how much he made, because he paid the bills and bought food and I really never saw a paystub. Later, our house cauht fire and we got foreclosed on and moved back into my dad’s and then moved a whole lot afterwards because of many money problems and house problems ( I’ve had many odd late night jobs and never could afford daycare and still can’t). After I had our son, he basically STOPPED wanting to have sex! It just seems so wierd that he is the guy and doesn’t want to EVER and I am the woman and I ALWAYS want to (isn’t it supposed to be the opposite?)! He blames me and says if I made enough money he wouldn’t be stressed out and if I was nicer he would be happier and he is tired from working so hard and doesn’t feel like having sex (intercourse). There is also something that has struck my curiosity since we first started dating. His best friend is never dating anyone and I have only known of him to have two girlfriends since the past 10 years at least! Everyone in my husband’s family thinks my husband’s best friend is gay and when my husband was in high school before he was with me, while he was with his ex and a little while after he started dating me, he had a gay friend who was extremely flamboiant and LOVED my husband (seriously, he was obbsessed with h

What if?…not so hypothetical Easter 2010 religion questions

What if United church of christ ordained minister Jeremiah "no, no, no NOT God Bless America; god Damn America" "god Damn America" Wright had been a Southern Baptist preacher, a Baptist preacher, an AME priest , a Catholic priest, a Methodist preacher, a Jewish rabbi, a closet Muslim imam , a radical Islamic jihadist imam, or a Presbyterian church usa communist, or Martin Luther King?
Would the mainstream press, Bill Moyers, and many Methodists have been as supportive of his remarks and attitudes?

Are the [above] Jeremiah "Wright" expressed attitudes and actions more likely to resonate more with radical Islamic jihadists sworn to kill Americans, or with Americans who have taken an oath and who have sworn to protect and defend the US Constitution?
Would his remarks have been ignored? Would he have been shunned?
Why hasn’t the "Barry Soetoro" question been publicly addressed?
Why are Democrats and Republicans not resolving this question ASAP?

What "legitimate" dynamic and governmental checks and balances were missed, or not in place that let this become an issue to begin with?
Who was Adolph Eichmann?
What is Homeland "Security" ’s position on defending the US Constitution and on lying on job, loan, and college applications?
If I were to lie on a government form could I be charged with a felony crime?

What is UCC ordained minister Jeremiah Wright’s relationship to Louis Farrakhan and Johns Mohammed and Malvo?

If Bill Clinton had not been the religion he is, or says he is, and had been convicted in the Paula Jones case and Christians [?] Gerald Mann and Jesse Jackson had not forgiven him would he have had to register as a sex offender and would he still be a mediate initiate or celebrity?

If Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are indeed based on love, compassion, truth, holiness and charity for others than themselves why are we/they killing each other all over the world? And why does every church in the world have severe problems in their own definable geographic neighborhoods and parishes?

I need some help with some review questions on my study guide for economics. Any help would be great. Here are some of the questions I’m having trouble with..

<True or False??>

1. A reduction of required reserves has the same effect as an increase in free reserves.

2. In a multiple banking system, each bank can make loans equal to a multiple of its excess reserves.

3. When the Federal Reserve System buys U.S. Securities, the money supply falls below what it otherwise would have been.

4. Monetary Policy can prevent major business swings, reduce the uncertainty in long-term contracts, and eliminate monetary instability as a source of economic instability.

5. As a lender of last resort, the Federal Reserve System avoids most financial crisis by providing liquidity to the financial system.

<Multiple Choice>

6. If the Treasury finances a billion deficit by simultaneously issuing secrurities which are purchased by commercial banks out of excess reserves, the money supply, as a direct result will:
A. Increase by at least billion
B. Increase by exactly billion
C. Increase by less than billion
D. Not change
E. Decline by billion

7. In a monopoly banking system, with a 10 percent reserve ratio, an initial increase by one dollar in both reserves and deposits of the bank permits an ultimate increase in deposits of:
A. {content}.10
B. {content}.90
C. .00
D. .00
E. .00

8.Assume that total deposits in the banking system are 0 million. The required reserve ratio is increased. The money supply will:
A.Decrease
B. Increase
C. Not change because there was no change in deposits
D. Not change because the required reserve ratio has no impact on money supply

9.Which choice is true?
A. a higher interest rate causes lower investment, higher demand, and higher real GDP.
B. a lower interest rate causes lower investment, higher demand, and higher real GDP.
C. a higher interest rate causes higher investment, lower demand, and lower real GDP.
D. a higher interest rate causes lower investment, lower demand, and lower real GDP.

10. Suppose the Fed sells million of U.S. securities to the public. Assume a reserve ratio of 10% and that all banks initially have zero excess reserves. The total impact of this action on the money supply, assuming no leakages in the system and no excess reserves a few weeks later is:

I was attending a school for about a year and when I tried to apply for the last quarter (the school works in quarter sessions) they told me that the loan perid had still been open from my previous school when I entered the very first quarter and was automatically kicked out of the system. No one noticed this during my first quarter so I attended classes for two more quarters. I had financial aid, pel grant and a loan at this private school and they say they got none of it. So I missed the last quarter of school and the only advice they have for me about this ,000 payment is to get a private loan.

I really don’t think this situation sounds right at all. I did everything I should have done and worked very closely with my FinAid advisor (who no longer works there) and was assured they the glitches were taken care of and I was fine.

I am scared that this payment which I would not have had to deal with until after college will ruin my credit or they will garnish my pay or something.
(out of 4 people in my church who attend there 3 of us had different sorts of FinAid problems)
What do you think, and what should I do?

Sorry if this was long!

for no reason, my husband, told me, he wanted me out, his sister is a lawyer, we have twin girls, they threatened, to call fam, services, because, i tred to mananage the finances, and he, said, i was holding back, money, now my girls live there, and i have nothing, please help….

I am trying to help fund raise money for the church that I attend. We are really in need of money to the point where the church got robbed and well they took everything and we can’t come up with the funds to pay the mortgage. I was wondering if anyone knew someone that might be able to help us or if you might know of some good ides to raise money in a clean way. Maybe some organizations that have money put aside for things like this. I know that Haiti is going through a lot overseas and needs the help but we need help so that we can help others. Please give as many as details and opinions as you can. Thank you.
To tell you the truth, I wasn’t really paying attention to the category. I just need ideas. Thank you for your opinions.

I don’t understand why my life is so dreadful now. Earlier this year, my husband died, after a very short illness. It was totally unexpected. After he died, I discovered that the life insurance policy he had was not for the amount he kept telling me it was, and it wasn’t even in my name.

A year ago in December, I lost my job. I’m a 50 year old woman, and I ran out of unemployment months ago. I get a Social Security check for me and my 13 year old daughter for Widows and Survivors benefits, but it isn’t much and it’s barely paying the bills and I struggle every month to get food on the table. I was working with Jobs and Family Services, but I have too much “income” to qualify for any programs right now, since they also count the income of my 21 year old son and 19 year old daughter, who live with me and are working.

My son and daughter were both recently cut from full time to part time on their jobs, and although they help me with some of the bills and groceries, they also have their own bills to pay, and my son is paying off a student loan.

I’ve applied for jobs like crazy; I was a sort of secretary, jack of all trades at my last job. I can type, do spreadsheets, handle money, answer phones, do advertising and public relations, and place ads in the newspaper. (The business I was working for went out of business after the owner died and his two daughters didn’t want to keep the business going.) I’m not proud, I’ve applied for cleaning jobs, call center jobs, anything, but I’ve had no luck. I have nothing in my background that would keep me from passing a background check, and I certainly can pass a drug test, so I’m wondering if it is my age. I know there’s NOT supposed to be age discrimination, but I am beginning to believe that it is going on.

I try to be a nice person, I go to church, I donate to charities, I give what little extra money I can to things like the Homeless shelter for Thanksgiving, and I participate in canned food drives at my daughter’s school. I just donated a large amount of warm coats and jackets my late husband had to a coat drive.

I don’t gossip about anyone, I treat people as nicely as I can, I donate to the animal shelter and took in two stray cats that someone dumped two years ago, got them spayed, and have them as beloved pets.

Yet my life is a constant struggle, and it seems as if every time I turn around, something goes wrong. My washer and dryer stopped working, one this summer and one this fall, I’m having problems with my furnace, a high pressure water pipe in my basement is leaking, and there is no extra money for me to do any repairs, and when I tried getting help to repair these things, I was told that “I have too much income.”

And to top it off my two neighbors on each side of me have started harassing me because some of the leaves from our trees blew into their yards this fall. I raked most of them, but I couldn’t stand outside 24/7 and catch them all! But they are saying all sorts of things about me behind my back and I’m getting tired of hearing people stopping me and saying, “Hey, do you know what so-and-so said about you?” My attorney did say I could bring action against them since they are harassing me, but I don’t have the money to do so.

We want to move to an apartment, but don’t have the extra cash for a security deposit and a pet deposit, and I don’t know if there is anyplace I can get a small loan, for around 00.00 to make this happen. (My bank no longer gives small loans unless there is equity in the house, and my house is in a bit of legal limbo right now due to several unfortunate happenings, including my husband letting it go into foreclosure.)

I’m not whining or anything, and I’m holding my head up and trying to do the best I can but I see so many not nice people all around me prospering, (including the two nasty neighbors), and I just can’t get a break. Does anyone have any suggestions? I could use some feedback here. Thank you so much.

My husband tortures me, abuses me for everything that I do. He blames me for even his mistakes. Publicly criticiszes me, Publicly hit me. I thought he would stop it as I am now 6 months pregnant. I just want some help. I am located in Chennai, India. I am a Roman Catholic 28-year old working woman. I don’t want to stay in this relationship anymore.
Once my baby is born, he would start beating my baby too, I hate him. His father used to beat his mother in the streets. He belongs to a cheap family. His father recently asked for some sexual favors from the maid. The maid denied and informed us.
My so called husband is literally doesn’t own a thing. All the furniture and items in my home has been given by my father. I also have the share of the property from my father. I am earning decently (Rs. 25,000/month). I am more educated than him.
His father has destroyed all the money he had. His father is looking for a new wife now. My mom-in-law passed away last year. She was subjected to lot of emotional, mental and physical abuse by his father. She go t bone cancer. Doctor says its due to the stress she has been undergoing.
My so called husband has trickily transferred all my money to his a/c and now not repaying it back. He has taken some of my jewels an has given his friend for obtaining loan. He takes all my salary every month and is now looking for getting my share of the property which has a value of more than 30 lakhs.
I want some good counseling from someone who can really help me.

I have scars all over my body inflicted by my so called husband.

Even if I do not get the annulment , I will be glad to get the divorce soon. I do not want to remarry as I am done with a relationship filled with pain, disappointment and endless torture!
And it’s a sexless marriage. We rarely make love and he beats me even when we do it,
Where shall I leave? I need to get a job somewhere far to leave to some place. i do not have my father. I have only my ailing mom. She stays in the village. I can’t go there and stay. I need some organisation which can help me.
I need to know the procedure of the church. The priest who married us is in some other country. Please help me!

I have searched and talked with so many different organizations about getting a business loan including SBA, commercial banks, and state funded organizations set up for funding small business owners. I have the business plan, the statistics for future sales and I have the collateral. What I don’t have is money for a down payment even if it’s only 10%. My other questions is regarding real estate. Do you need a down payment if you are buying a business already set up? Thanks in advance for any advice and/or encouragement.

I am at a loss as to finding help with my chrildrens Christmas gifts this year. I have never had to do this before.. and it is humiliating… I sent a note to my kids school, and they didn’t even bother to reply to me. I went to the toys for tots/salvation army sign up and because I do not receive assistance from DSS (food stamps or welfare) and could not supply them with a DSS form of assistance received, that I did not qualify for help. In the past I have been a gift sponsor at the tree’s of hope in Walmart as a secret santa buying for two children every year for five years, buying for three kids last year… and when I need help it is not there for my children. Where are the secret santa’s for my kids?
My husband has little to no work right now (he is a contractor employee for residential housing) and my work has went to hardly any hours and lay offs coming.Good luck finding part time work that would conform to our schedules, we can’t afford daycare right now. So we are only able to afford the bare nessecities ( rent, food, utilities, cable/phone, gas). Side note.. the cable is where my income comes from. We just don’t have ANY spare cash for presents at all this year. We have always done the right things… worked, paid taxes, donated to charities and now we are essentially out of hope! We do not belong to a church as we haven’t found one in this area we felt comfortable in. We have already taken out a loan to pay for school clothes and supplies..so that avenue is not available either.

What am I going to tell my kids? I have a son 12, a daughter 9 and a son 13 months old. I have been sick to my stomach worrying about Christmas… I feel helpless and like such a failure to my kids. I have called local clubs/organizations like Elks, VFW, churches and Masons and all have already committed to other families. So much need out there this year! Toys for tots coordinates out of a large church in this area (45 miles away) and you must have that DSS form to get their assistance too! On one hand I understand why they are so picky, as there are people that abuse the assistance.. however at the same time I don’t understand how we have helped so much in the past, have a down year and there isn’t any help for us…. mainly because we don’t take public assistance! We live way out in a rural area, so a lot of the things available in cities are just not here.

We do NOT want money from anywhere or anyone.. just some presents for the kids only. What do we do???? Private answers welcome too, I have the email me option on this answers thing.

I’m a pretty positive and ambitious person. I go into situations expecting the best, but most of it ends in tribulations. Seriously.

I was molested as a baby..yes a baby and later on 3 different guys. At home, school and church. One of them was arrested last year for raping and killing a teenager last year. I told my family but they wanted me to keep this a secret. It get’s weirder..but I digress.

My mom started spreading rumors about me after living with her for only a few months. This was my first time living with her at age 17. She kicked me out two days before my bday 12/17/2000 (winter in NY, yay) and tried to make me homeless by asking ppl not to let me stay with with them. I only talk to her now because of my sister..but i truly do hate my mother.

I used to be an only child..my dad decided to have kids when I was 21. So as selfish as it is I feel abandoned – my mom has replaced me with my sister and my dad with his kids. I was the love of his life. Now we hardly even talk.

I’ve been used and now I have about 30K cc debt. Because someone lied to me about their life and background and used me. So now i’m left with 90k total in debt (mortgage). I’m now 28 and was debt free until I met this U.S. Soldier. ugh!

I bought my own place at the age of 22. I’ve had to change states and within the last 2 yrs I have gone through 3 tenants. 1. was arrested for stealing from his job. 2. There was a fire which meant my tenant had to move 3. The other person just disappeared. Each time i’ve managed to get back on my feet…but this time it’s been 7 months since i’ve been paying rent and mortgage. I can’t sell because now my property value has tremendously decreased.

Funny thing is I don’t have any blemishes on my credit score. Except for high debt, but I’ve never been late on a bill. Other people also think that i’m happy but i’m not. I was suicidal before but as I got older, I’ve pushed through a lot of things. I know LIFE could be worst.

I just want to know how to cope when nothing goes right. Which obviously is everything. My life is actually worse than I mentioned.. I don’t believe in God, my reasons are obvious.

Any advice would be helpful.
Sorry about my errors.

Ok, we got the FHA loan. All we need to do is get the "gift letter" and the documents for proof of gifting. Now, we are concerned because my uncle, who is giving us the money, obtained a loan from his bank to give to us. We didn’t know he borrowed the money until we got his bank statement, which the lender needs. I have read the FHA Guidelines and see that the donor can borrow the money as long as we have nothing to do with the loan, which we didn’t because he never told us, and as long as it is not a party to the home buying transaction. Is it true then? Are we ok with my uncle gifting us the money even though he borrowed it from his bank? We don’t have to pay it back or anything as he just wanted to help us get a home and we aren’t listed on this loan at all. If my uncle can’t give us the money, the only other option is to have a member of his church, my uncle is a pastor and the person is a family friend, gift us the money but we don’t know which way to go.

MY SHORT ESSAY ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
By : Jaeyoun Kim
Filipinos always complain about the corruption in
the Philippines .. Do you really think the corruption
is the problem of the Philippines ? I do not
think so. I strongly believe that the problem is
the lack of love for the Philippines ..

Let me first talk about my country, Korea ..
It might help you understand my point.
After the Korean War, South Korea was one
of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans
had to start from scratch because entire country was
destroyed after the Korean War, and we had no
natural resources.
Koreans used to talk about the Philippines , for
Filipinos were very rich in Asia .. We envy Filipinos.
Koreans really wanted to be well off like
Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine.
My father & brother also died because of famine.

Korean government was very corrupt and is still very
corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was
able to develop dramatically because Koreans really
did their best for the common good with their heart
burning with patriotism.
Koreans did not work just for themselves but also
for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired
young men with the spirit of patriotism.
40 years ago, President Park took over the
government to reform Korea .. He tried to borrow money
from other countries, but it was not possible to get a
loan and attract a foreign investment because the
economic situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea
had only three factories. So, President Park sent many
mine workers and nurses to Germany so that
they could send money to Korea to build a factory.
They had to go through horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow
money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the
airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw
the President Park .. They asked to him, "President,
when can we be well off?" That was the only question
everyone asked to him. President Park cried with
them and promised them that Korea would be well
off if everyone works hard for Korea , and the
President of Germany got the strong impression on them
and lent money to Korea .. So, President Park was
able to build many factories in Korea .. He always
asked Koreans to love their country from their heart.
Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA
came back to Korea to help developing country
because they wanted their country to be well off.
Though they received very small salary, they did their
best for Korea .. They always hoped that their
children would live in well off country.
My parents always brought me to the places where
poor and physically handicapped people live. They
wanted me to understand their life and help them.
I also worked for Catholic Church when I was in the
army. The only thing I learned from Catholic Church was that
we have to love our neighborhood. And, I have loved my
neighborhood. Have you cried for the Philippines ? I have cried for my country several times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so
many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid
prison. What made me sad in the prison were the
prisoners who do not have any love for their country.
They go to mass and work for Church. They pray everyday.
However, they do not love the Philippines .. I
talked to two prisoners at the maximum-security
compound, and both of them said that they would leave the
Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines ..

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that
we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood.
The owners of factory and company were distributed their
profit to their employees fairly so that employees could
buy what they needed and saved money for the
future and their children.
When I was in Korea , I had a very strong faith and
wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines ,
I completely lost my faith. I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines .. Street kids always
make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only
Catholic country in Asia , but there are too many poor people
here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing
has been changed.
My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation. They told me that Korea was much poorer
than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there are so many beggars and street kids. When we went to
Pasangjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would fun. However, they were not happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they were sympathized the
boatmen, for the boatmen were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it.
But, my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.
My mother who has been wo
But, my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.
My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves, we are not
Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things
for them because all of us are same and have received a great love from God. I want Filipinos to love their neighborhood and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines will be well off. I am sure that love is the keyword, which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. it should start from person.

Please read this essay written by a Korean student studying here in the Philippines. ..nakakalungkot na we are partly to blame sa sitwasyon san Pinas…but i strongly believe there is still hope for the Philippines. ..

The message goes: As you know, we have plenty of Koreans currently studying in the Philippines to take advantage of our cheaper tuition fees and learn English at the same time.
This is an essay written by a Korean student i want to share with you. (Never mind the grammar; it’s the CONTENT that counts )

I am sure that love is the keyword, which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from person. Love must start in everybody,
in a s mall scale and have to grow. A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let’s put away
our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes.
I discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible.
Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships. It changes the world. Please love your neighborhood and country.
Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to Him. In the Philippines , there is God for people who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines . Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country.
You already know that God also will be very happy if you love others.
That’s all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

Can a person save money, build up finances, and keep an apartment with income from a job at somewhere such as Mcdonald’s?

Please read all of this before commenting, I have included every bit of information possible.
I have a psycho religious crazy neighbor that has made what I consider to be a death threat, but I fear she is untouchable. This lady has caused tremendous grief for me both financially and mentally since I bought my house 2 years ago. She is not a direct neighbor of mine, and it’s almost a half mile drive for her to get to my house.
It started in February of 2007 when I had first moved in, my neighbor’s dogs were barking and she became irate with me that I would not do anything to control them. She demanded in my house and had her nerdy goon of a son with her, who tried pushing his way past me into my house. I blocked him and she threatened to sue me for trying to cause harm to her child.
The next round came in April of 2007 when she called the police about me using a palm sander to sand my car. Even though my city has no "quiet hours" I was fined 0 and the judge upheld it.
Then in June of 2007 she claimed that I was harboring 5 dogs (our city limit is 3 and all have to be registered). I owned 2 at the time, both registered and legal. The Animal Control officer picked them up claiming they did not have collars on. He made me pay a 0 cash fine to get the dogs back and wrote me over 25 tickets totaling more than ,000 for the 5 dogs saying I had let them out minutes before. Again, I went to court and the judge uphelp ALL fines saying that I was unable to prove that I did not have the animals, even though the officer admitted he did not see any animals and had not picked any up in our area.
Then January of 2008 my motorcycle mysteriously caught fire, and ended up burning my house down. Luckily the fire department rescued my dog inside the house and I was not home. The fire was never investigated as an arson.
While the house was being rebuilt the same lady filed complaint after complaint that the workmen were being too noisy, the cranes were too tall, the dumpster was an eyesore, you name it. Then in March of 2008 at 2am she came over to the house because she heard a barking dog. She forced the front door open and came into the house, where one of my dogs bit her. She took me to court suing for damages and the euthinazation of my dog, under her supervision. The same judge kept referring to her as "the pretty young lady" and saying that I was a nuisance.
So I have taken an active part in our neighborhood, and with the help of another homeowner, started an alliance to try to curb the recent spike in crime. I was elected to the office of Vice President and she now claims I am the AntiChrist, citing my "rise to power".
Normally none of this would bother me, but remember the psycho crazy religious statement. She is a part of a fringe Baptist Church that has been and is being investigated to be a domestic terrorist group. They are listed on a few cult watch websites, mainly for giving full blown assault rifles to teenage boys in the church. Her son is now 18 and I am sure has been given one of these wonderful manhood passage rights.
A next door neighbor of hers was so scared about comments this lady made that she came to my house at 11 pm last night to warn me.
She is a constant threat to our dogs, everyones. Last week she got mad at another neighbor and followed police cars into our cul de sac demanding that they round up every dog and have them all put down. All the neighbors hid their dogs and we lied saying we think she let them all out, as most of us keep them in our homes anyhow.
I would say we would start looking for a new neighborhood, but my credit is horrible now and there is no way I can get a loan for another home.
Also, a restraining order is not really an option as I’m sure the judge would never sign one against her, and it would have to go through him, and may tip her over the edge.
Her husband "committed suicide", but a friend of mine who left the church said that he was afraid of her and wanted to leave but the church essentially voted to have him murdered.
She has slaughtered cats and left them on the front porches of neighbors as a "cleansing" against the devil.
She says her son is now a "soldier of God" and "poised to rid the world of evil with the spilt blood of the devil"
Also, she works for a somewhat powerful attorney and he makes her legal problems disappear, no matter how severe.
What can I do? Anything? We are in Oklahoma, in a small town that in about 3 square miles surround by a much larger city, on all sides. I am seriously now afraid for my life, but have no idea what to do. Please help!
Reminder, already crazy.
Son probably has a full out assault rifle, this has been confirmed by ex memebers of the "church"
I’m more interested in staying alive not making her eyes itch
At this point I have no option of moving out unfortunatly. With the mortgage and everything I am maxed out, and if I sell I will not be able to buy a new home, not to mention it may be hard to sell if they find out about her
We do have a law called "Make my Day" which allows you to shoot to kill someone in your home. I’ve heard we have another called "Stand Your Ground" which allows you to shoot to kill someone making a serious threat with a weapon on your property. My concern is I’ll go to jail or worse be sentenced to death if it came to something like this. No joke, she has already circumvented the law many times, and this judge upholds anything that she wants.
This is her church.

I have a commercial property, it had some damage due to natural disaster, the insurance company have send me a Check, one of my Mortgage lender have endorsed it without any troubles, but the second lender is giving me trouble about depositing the check into trustee account, will some one know what are my rights towards getting that check endorsed by them without getting them to keep it into mutual account????
