On the contrary, Christians ARE expected by God to judge sin. sm
Posted By: RebornMT on 2006-10-06
In Reply to: Well, if it is unchristianlike to judge and - sm
There are numerous versus to back this up. There is a verse that says if we as Christians observe a fellow Christian falling into sin, we are to go to that person (in love, not condemnation) and try and guide them back onto the right path away from destruction. How are we to follow God's laws if we do not judge right and wrong? That verse has been taken so far out of context.
WHAT WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE is another person's relationship with God or whether that person has obtained salvation or is saved.
WE ARE EXPECTED TO JUDGE SIN. I'll be happy to dig up the verses for anyone who would like to see them.

God gave us the ability to judge for good reason. Then told us judge not, lest thou be judged. NM

It's all part of the media's waging war on Christians
They have now pulled out all stops and have no problem making us all look like a bunch of bible-banging hicks if we speak our minds.
Sorry that you feel that way. Not all Christians are narrow-minded or bigots!
Yep, you are right, there are starving children who cannot eat a Bible; and did you know there are missionaries over there who do bring them food?
The reality is we are HERE and not many of us CAN go there. This subject matter was about abortion. If you believe in God, and I most certainly do, then you have to believe that His Word is Truth and is to be obeyed! God has a purpose and a plan, no doubt about that. He know what He is doing and He has a reason. It is not for us to question, just to obey. In the end we will only stand before Him for what WE have done, no one else. Yes, there are hypocrites who claim to be Christians and probably go to church every time the doors are open, and I would rather go to church with SOME hypocrites than go to hell with ALL of them!!
to the contrary,
you, madam-complainer, are probably one of the people who need it -- good information there that not every one would know.
Wow. That's quite contrary to the standard.
Usually, 32 hours is part-time and 37 starts full-time.
You've been quite fortunate!
I HAVE to get to work now. I don't wanna. LOL I'd rather stay and play! LOL
I'm not discouraging newbies. Quite the contrary,
I am telling them that they can save money on their education and still be able to break into MT.
And here's what I do know. I have 7 years in QA. I have trained new hires who were fresh out of school and I can tell you that not one of them was in any way qualified to work from home. Every single one of them desperately needed to work in an office along side some qualified MTs who could give them the benefit of their years experience and their vast knowledge all acquired the old fashioned way, they worked for it!
The reason that MTs cannot earn a decent cpl wage is because of the enormous influx in underqualified newly graduated MTs who have degraded the profession of medical transcription with their lack of experience, minimal knowledge base, and extremely poor grammar skills. I just don't believe any of the online schools are worth what they charge. I don't believe anyone can get a decent education online. And when I speak of a community college, I don't mean a "vo-tech school" as someone mentioned above. I mean an accredited junior/community college. Not some fly-by-night, you-can-earn-$70,000-a-year-as-an-MT-from-the-comfort-of-your-own-home-in-your-pajamas-with-your-babies-on-your-lap school!
I mean bricks and mortars, computer lab, books and teachers, fellow students and classroom school.
nada - just feeling contrary today
 
Love Judge Judy but love Judge Joe
Brown. I often wonder how many of the people involved in Judge Joe's cases have to go home and look up in the dictionary what he said to them. Some of them just have blank faces staring at him when he is giving them a lecture, w/o a clue of what he is actually saying to them.
Think it should be expected
I was a cryptologic linguist when I was in the Air Force. My job involved wearing headphones all day long. They tested our hearing before we started the career field and every year after because the wanted to monitor how much hearing we lost above and beyond the normal age-related stuff. Had an interesting talk with the audiologist about this. Wonder how many former MTs are getting disability for hearing loss?
But isn't that to be expected anyway?
summer because all we use gas for is to heat hot water and to cook on the stovetop. As soon as we turn on the furnace, of course it is going to increase a lot, even in normal years when the price of gas is not as high.
Same with electricity. It's a stable amount most of the time but once we turn on the air conditioner, it jumps dramatically.
Yep, we would be expected to
learn their language if we were doctors practicing over there. They should do the same here. Truth and racism are two different things :)
It is pretty much expected that you will do all that comes to you -
It is often the nature of the beast when you are in a pool. I had thousands of docs at the last place I worked, 4 hospitals all with very different account specifics, and did every work type under the sun for acute care. I found myself scrambling every day to get my lines in and frustrated beyond belief many days. After 2 years of that (and a few other issues with the company) I decided to move on.
What was the expected pay rate?
p
Actually, I never expected an answer--
I was sending him my opinion, expressing my anger concerning the jobs leaving in droves to India and other countries.
I can't imagine the number of letters he receives in one hour let alone one day. So, I realize I would never be answered.
I just was stating my frustration and anger with a situation.
As I said in my other post, I did call and I talked to one of the phone bank people or whoever answers the phones at the White House. She was very nice and talked with me a while. She told me he does get briefed on his mail and phone calls, he wants the good and the bad, he wants to hear how things are directly affecting us individually. So I let him have it. I just wanted to add my name to the list of people calling concerning offshoring. She told me many people from IBM who were just laid-off were calling in droves about the offshoring. So, maybe many voices might at least make some kind of noise. Even if he doesn't listen or doesn't care, it felt good to get the frustration out, knowing I was talking to the actual White House.
My son keeps watching out the window now for the FBI to take me away because I always call and write to Washington.
The handling of Katrina was a shameful disaster -- my heart goes out to anyone who went through that, and is still suffering because of it. There was no excuse for that as far as I was concerned.
I did send many emails and called about that, too, Again, just wanted to voice my opinion.
Wondering if VR not working as expected?
Our company has told us the company we use for VR wants to help us to edit faster, supposedly helping us to use the keys instead of the mouth. Now this seems sorta odd to me. I am wondering if the VR is not as satisfactory as was thought and perhaps the MTs are not really able to get reports out as fast as was thought and not eliminating the need for the MTs? Any thoughts on this?
We were $2.42 on Monday - shot up to $2.99 today and expected....sm
to go well over $3/gallon because of the pipeline distribution problem. The governor has declared a state of emergency and is urging folks to not drive anymore than necessary while they're getting emergency shipments of fuel in.
Saw it. I expected Randall to be the person I though he was... He wasn't!! He is out for himself
Rebecca on the other hand was the classiest woman they have ever had on the Apprentice! By far she out spoke Randall and more importantly she said nothing negative truly about him. Agree, lost all respect for Randall. Though I seriously think Rebecca will be hired by somone probably today she has offers pouring in; seriously for her brain and her gorgeous looks are just a plus!! A Rebecca FAN!!
We are expected to learn spanish, make

Here's the dealio... MTs are expected to be able to hit the ground running.
We work from home. There is no training curve. That's just the way it is in the MT industry. If you want to work from home, you have to know what you're doing. If it takes you longer than three days to get off full QA, then you belong in an office somewhere getting training from a mentor who has the time and money to train you. Working from home is all about the bottom line -- the MTs and the MTSOs. This is career field you've chosen, so get with the program. Sharpen your skills and quit expecting someone to hold your hand.
BTDT. They expected a heck of a lot from the MT for that kind of pay
All the emails, all the demands, all the changes, ugh. For all they expect and demand, the pay is way too little, not to mention the fact that they need MTs who do SPECIALTY work (cardiology) and should pay the MT a higher cpl than they do currently for that reason alone.
About how many lines are expected to be typed each day, minimum, on average? NM
As an educated & experience MT, we're expected to correct what's
s
Never said that typos were acceptable, what I said was is 100% accuracy expected 100% of the time.
Yes, I used to work in a docs office doing this as well as other things and but never had this problem.That is why I am frustrated. My question was whether or not there was a curve for MT'ing or not. I guess I just was not clear on exactly what editors/QA were really meant for. I thought they were more of a saftey net for a TX company to ensure that everythign that goes out is what it should be. But I guess I was mistaken.
Anyway, I was thinking that maybe there was something else similar in this field that would be an option for me to do. Since I actually like this line of work, I don't see why I should give up so easily.
Lastly, its just me, but I actually think staying at home with my kids is a perfect reason to do this for a living. I mean seeing as though I actually do want to earn a honest living doing something that I have experience doing ...why not? It's better than relying the government for money to support my family isn't it?
an overworked, underpaid, still expected to meet production go to person.
We are expected to follow AAMT unless client profile states otherwise or marked down by QA for it, s

You're expected quota depends on whether you are paid hourly or per line. SM
I'm paid hourly and I was told the requirement was 50 or more reports per day. I've never worked QA per line, but I'm sure their line quota is pretty high, at least 2000 or better per day, as you get credit for every line in every report you QA.
Hope this was the answer you were looking for.
I figured she was cheap when she acted interested until I told her what I expected to be paid.
All I could think of was "how cheap can you get" I mean I have 3 years on the very platform she needed help with but when I mentioned a decent rate I never heard a word back. Thanks goodness for small miracles.
Who is anybody here to judge how somebody
lives their life, how much money they make, or where they live? Just because somebody doesn't live the way you do (or would like to) doesn't make it wrong, and she should be proud to be living where she wants and to wake up every morning in a place she loves. My house isn't the greatest house, but I love it and am proud that I am able to be buying it on my own. I don't see the need for people to be putting her down after she was ASKED to share details of her home.
to sm and tm...do not judge until you have
judge not, lest ye be judged
does that ring a bell....hmmmm?
Please don't judge
For some it does not make sense to leave the home when you add child care costs, expense of a car, gas, clothes, food and so on. Please don't judge. I like to think when my daughter is grown up, she will appreciate that I was home for her not that she had a nice vacation (you seem to keep mentioning that)or the finer things in life.
It is confusing. But it's the only way to actually judge how much you are...
getting paid for the exact same amount of work. As long as you work with the same big block of text, it works perfectly.
Judge Alex!

Does anyone like Judge Judy?
I think she's mean and rude!
Judge Judy
I think she makes a lot of incorrect judgements based on insufficient evidence and also sometimes refuses to hear evidence in someone's defense. I dont like her. I dont watch her anymore either.
I just think it's crappy to judge m
someone's ability to responsible by their credit report, especially in these times when you can make the same amount of money as you have been and have just the basics (no luxuries) and everything has gone up and you scrape to make ends meet. I know many people like this now. I've even read articles on how people are in worse credit card debt than ever because of what I just described and they're bridging the gap by having to charge x amount each month to get by. It's very sad. Because one's credit is poor most often isn't because of a lack of responsibility or willingness to pay, just life happening.
Well, if it is unchristianlike to judge and
condemn others for what they believe, then why do the born again or saved christians believe God does all of those things? I do not choose to be born again or saved because I simply do NOT believe that God judges or condemns. I believe if I simply live a good moral life free of major sin, I too will go to heaven. And I also like to believe that God forgives; and of course I'm not talking about murderers or just plain evil people here. It is so odd because it is the born again christians stating that if you are not saved or reborn that you basically may not be accepted in heaven. Doesn't that make God seem just a bit like a judging, condemning and almost evil being? Very strange religion if you ask me. JMO.
so quick to judge
come down to earth people.
can only judge from own experience
Maybe the other is so, or maybe it is mgmt speaking, who knows.
and you Judge only Certain Posters as Fools?
and only MQ Certain Posters upset and embarrass you? why not address MQ Certain Posters rather than making blanket statements?
with all due respect you are backtracking big time and sliding a bit on the truth side. read your posts over. but that's okay. kind of clintonish whether you like it or not.
You shouldn't be so quick to judge.
Those of us who haven't got as high a pedestal as you have made mistakes in our lives. It is not the child's fault we made a bad decision. Single mothers have it really rough and I should know.
The above poster did not make it sound like it had anything to do with her being a single mother.
I am married now but, at times, have been the "breadwinner" if you will, for my family. Would that make it sound better?
I don't want to be treated any better than anyone else, but I have had to do a lot of things.
The recruiter made a mistake. She should have never put the offer out there if she wasn't completely sure.
You can't judge a company by how often they hire. This could be
due to new accounts no turnover.
The truth is that most people look beyond the postings on this board and others because it is too hard to separate truth from fiction.
Don't be so quick to judge Supercuts. sm
The fact is there are bad hairstylists everywhere as much as there are fabulous ones. My sis worked for Supercuts for years , just recently left to start her own biz on the side after taking a cushy county job. She took a huge cliental with her also; she's really, really good at her job. The fact is places like Supercuts do so much more business than smaller salons and so generally those working there have a lot more experience than you might think. My whole family patrons our local Supercuts and most of the ladies there are really very good. There are one or two over the last couple years we have learned are not so good, so we just don't let them cut our hair. Can't beat the prices either.
Love Judge joe brown!
 he's my fave
Judge Mathis my favorite!
What a sense of humor he has (plus sharp legal mind)! Both he and his bailiff--very cute!
What does Povitch have to do with Judge Judy?
:[
disagree - all bibles say Judge not....sm
Born agains that I have run into act like they have never sinned.....yeah....right....it's the reason they become born again to begin with, they wipe the slates clean once re-born as if the BAD never happened prior to them becoming born again. Everyone that I have met (including the x-spouse who became born again after the divorce) just appears to me to be so darned hypocritical!
Just my nickel's worth.
Please dont judge all by the bad apples
Some of us are happy with what we do and are happy to lend a hand. Not all, or even the majority of us are rude. There are just a few that like the attention on these boards i think.
You can't judge people by what coast they live on....
I am originally from the East Coast and I am NOT a "nasty woman". The writer was cold hearted yes....but it doesn't give you the right to blame the East Coast. You could live anywhere...it depends how you were raised in the long run. I was taught to always treat others as I would expect to be treated...imagine that from an East Coast momma! Have a good day.
Who are you to judge? Most people gripe about their spouses,
Its called venting.  We're allowed to do that.
Don't be so quick to judge others by yourself busy-body MT!
No joke.
PS: Where do you get the TIME IN your busy schedule to prepare essays and lectures to MTs what with your "busy" MTing and getting degrees etc? How's dano? She seemed to back you up with essays also. Same hahaha. Worn out?
I love Judge Judy. She tells it
