Your comment aboput organized religion is off teh subject and snarky. This person did not die because it was A CATHOLIC hospital and I for one am tired of this sort of modern day sneering. I work at a Catholic Hospital. I absolutely loathe the manager who will not give me a singel Sunday off but she herself is a Catholic and tries to tell me waht church to go to. She's not a jerk becuase of her religion. She's just a jerk. Period. I won't die from stress becuase my life is worth more that 400 lines. But to make off the wall comments about religion is not ok.

Organized religion
basically is another club. It ends up being about its own entity and not the spirituality it is supposed to embrace. Christ said basically the same thing when he was on earth.
Maybe you could get the other employees together to voice your feelings and needs to this employer to see if you can prompt some very necessary changes. If not, I would start seriously looking for a healthier work environment.
Remember that it is also not good for the people who take advantage to be allowed to do so (work or personal).
I am so sorry about your friend/co-worker. I hope you can gain strength from this loss to make some changes.
Especially if we were organized enough to...sht msg
collectively refuse to fix it for them when the reports come back.
me too, used to be very organized, but not lately - sm
desk is a mess, MB is a mess, house is a mess...you get the picture. Spent a half hour the other day shredding papers/bills, etc. Trying to get a handle on it, need to slow down and not work so much!
if you are organized and have a sm
huge bank of shortcuts you can do 300 lph easy and more even doing operative reports. I have done it for years!
they have to keep boards organized....N/M
Hey Busy, come help me get organized...sm
Yo Busy!!
You seem to be the MOST organized of all my acquaintences!!! Kudos to you!!! Come help me get more organized. *LOL*
S. Florida friend !! 
My organized granddaughter.
I am visiting my son this week, and decided to help my granddaughter clean her "spotless" room. She is such a neat freak.
What a smart little girl. I went into her closet where she keeps her electronic equipment. Every single cord for each item was neatly folded and slipped into empty paper towel (aluminum foil, toilet paper) rolls and labeled. She had attached a small velcro square to the equipment and one to the paper roll. It was so neat.
I invited her to come home with me and organize my house.
I would LOVE to come to Florida and help you get organized!!
I just might call on you sometime!!!!
not for long - impeachment is being organized
*rubs hands together in anticipation of that day*
Stedman's is organized a bit differently sm
and that is probably why I didn't like Tessier's at all. I have other word books besides Stedman's and I don't like them either! The only thing I like as well would be the MPI and I hardly ever use mine now.
In all fairness, I probably Google more than I do anything. If I am looking for a ronguer or scissors or suture or needle, I use the M&S word book to find that. If I am looking up a new drug-eluting stent, I google, BUT I can make what I am looking for so specific that I find less than 100 sites for most things. I don't ever file through pages of it because that is useless too.
I dunno...only ever do OPs, have for a long time and it is to the point where I rarely have to search for anything. Despite my advanced age, my near photographic memory is still highly functional. I thought that would be the first thing to go, but it wasn't. In other ways, my brain is a junkyard. I can remember a piece of equipment I transcribed only once 4 years ago, but I can't remember where I put my purse or keys!
Must haves... an organized desk.
Also space heater; love that; more cozy especially since I'm in our partially finished basement/family room. HAHA!
My nails bother me too if they get too long, and I do my own little manicures when that happens, so I can feel more comfortable - I agree on the nails.
Coffee till around 9:30, shower, and then soda all day long, but it usually just sits there. I have to have lip stuff in case my lips get dry, and I also have pictures of my kids, my husband and I, and my nieces and nephews, just to remind me that I'm not out of touch... 
My kids hated organized sports and groups. They
are both social, happy kids, but enjoy spending their spare time with Lego's, pets and especially reading. My 5th grader reads at an 11th grade reading level and my freshman reads well beyond college level. Both enjoy school very much and are on the Challenge tracks, A's and B's. But I think they have learned how to entertain themselves and enjoy a slower pace because we don't have a T.V. Definitely gears down the speed of life.
Interesting site, and very organized too. Good work. Mistery can Rape Chair: http://www.adn.com/ , w

This isn't RELIGION 101
This happens to be medical transcription we're talking about....maybe you're one of those recruiters that will hire just about anyone, including illiterate people, to take more of our jobs away....this isn't about JUDGING anyone.....it's only about raising the bar and DEMANDING quality and professionalism from our peers......I wonder what you're work looks like......hmmmmm. I still stick to what I said.....If you can't pass a basic vocabulary test in the ENGLISH language.....MOVE ON!
Religion
Can you spell blasphemy?
"Wacked out about religion". How come you sm
don't say that about the others who are completely wacko? I can think of Tom Cruise and Scientology Richard Gere and Buddhism (I believe)to name just two. I say good for Stephen to share his faith. If others in Hollywood can do it, he shouldn't suffer the consequences for it.
pushing religion
I say that about anyone pushing their beliefs..be it gere, cruise, the pillsbury dough boy..You have beliefs, wonderful, so do I..however, that all changes when you try to push your religion/beliefs on others..More power buddists, scientologists, christians, pagans, hindus, muslims, you name it..just dont try to sway me unless I ask for it..
we now have freedom OF religion for all
you are perfectly free to celebrate whatever holiday you wish to NOW. The majority celebrating Christmas does not diminish that in any way, shape or form.
The only time religion
is when people try to force it down your throat or give you the holier-than-thou attitude of "I'm going to heaven, and you're going to hell."
religion board
How would one access the religion board.
Einstein did not believe in religion.

Religion vs. spirituality. sm
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to h*ll. Spirituality is for those who have been there and don't want to ever go back. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
No one who is actively abusing drugs and/or alcohol can have a relationship with Jesus Christ--or with anyone else, for that matter, other than a very dysfunctional one. You must first be clean and sober.
If I'm that much of a sinner, maybe you should just pray for me instead of flaming me here on this message board. Jesus might like that better, who knows? :D
IMO - no. If he hits you once, he will hit you again. It will not matter what religion you believe
x
It is not about religion being a sensitive subject, it is about
posting on the correct forum. The Main board gets so jammed that we have had to create other forums for particular subjects. We only ask that posters kindly utilize those forums instead of posting every single thing on the Main board.
Again, thank you.

All religion is a cult of one form or another - nm

Where is the religion board? I need some new spells. nm
The religion issue came at a good time. sm
My daughter is 10.
We're in the car and she wanted to call her friend Jessica on the cell phone. She said, "It's after 2:00, so they're already home from church."
Then she says, "You know, mama, I don't mind going to church with them, but I hate going up and eating that yucky bread."
I said, "They had you go up for communion?" and she said, "I think that's what it is. The guy in the robes puts a yucky cracker thingy in your mouth, but they call it bread for some reason."
So I said, "You don't have to go up and take communion, you're not Catholic. I could talk to Jessica's parents and tell them that you aren't a Catholic and you shouldn't go up and take communion."
She said, She said, "Well, I'd feel stupid just sitting there when everyone else went up. I'm not going to go someplace bad if I do the Catholic thing and I'm not really a Catholic am I?"
I said, "Of course not. You just don't have to that's all."
She said, "It's okay, I don't really mind it that much." After a few minutes she said: "Hey wait a minute, we're not JEWISH ARE WE?!!!"
Another half hour on the different faiths and beliefs and the fact that it doesn't matter what you choose, but that it is a private, personal choice, and that one should never try to convince another person that their way of thinking is the "right" way.
She thought it wasn't a good thing not to have a Christmas tree, but then thought that Hannukah was "really cool" because the kids didn't have to wait to open a present. Then she said, "Well, we could light a candle every night for the Jewish kids because they don't have a Christmas tree and then maybe we could just open a present."
I said, "Nice try kiddo."
Out of the mouths of babes!
In some cases, I think religion is just their latest addiction.
Didn't Stephen Baldwin used to have substance abuse issues? Seems like some of these people just trade in the substance for religion and pursue it with the same enthusiasm.
Hi Eva! Answered here because I don't know which category to go under on the religion board.
The book of Daniel will have a lot of clues about this, but in a nutshell, the wild beast of Revelation is a composite or sum total of the beasts pictured in the book of Daniel. The beasts in the book of Daniel represented the ruling powers, or governments, of the day. The beast of Revelation represents the same today and gets its power from the great dragon, which is Satan (Rev. 13:2, 12:9), so it isn't surprising that the bible calls satan the ruler of the world (John 12:31, 16:11) and the god of this world (2Cor. 4:4). However, at Daniel 2:44 we're told through prophecy that eventually God will bring an end to all human rulership and will begin exercising his rulership over the human family as the one true universal soverign. He will do this through his son, Jesus Christ (Dan. 7:13,14). The Kingdom mentioned in Daniel 7:14 is the same one Jesus taught us to pray for in the model prayer or Lord's prayer. God's will is being done in heaven because he rules there. So, praying for his his kingdom to come and his will to be done on the earth as it is done in heaven is the same as asking him to take over the rulership of the earth, which he will do. However, that will mean an end to all human rulership here on the earth (Rev. 16:14), which is why the beast of Revelation will be destroyed along with the one that gives the beast its power. That destruction will take place in the "battle of the great day of God Almighty," which is referred at Rev. 16:16 as Armageddon. That is the battle over sovereignty, and that is why it is with the governments (or kings) of the earth. All those supporting those kings or governments will have its figurative mark on their hands and/or foreheads showing that they support the beast with their mental energies (mark on their foreheads) and with their actions (mark on their hands). Those supporting the beast and putting their faith in it will be destroyed along with it (Rev. 19:20,21).
In a nutshell.
There are several forums to post on at the Religion link.
I wouldn't call it "fragmented". The poster can ask his/her question on more than one religion board and receive a variety of responses in which to make an informed decision.
Aren't politics and religion social no-nos? sm
And I believe there is a very good reason for that.
I neve discuss politics or religion

Surprised this did not get yanked to the Religion board - sm
everything else does (get yanked that is)....this board is pretty boring these days. Oh well, I am getting more work done so that is a good thing.
All religious topics go on the Religion board. (SM)
Stop now with this or I will delete the whole thread.

Post spiritual discussion on the Religion boards.

Please post religious discussion on the Religion board.
t
Religion is an outdated notion created centuries ago
and has no place in today's society.
And they can by either posting on the Religion forums or contacting the Administrator.

Careful girls, this is NOT the religion board as pointed out above!
s
My bad; this should go to the Scientology forum under Religion; thread locked.
Goldbird
Those magic spells on the religion board are a hoot.
z
I think EVERYTHING pertaining to religion is a hoot! People are such SHEEP!
ROTFL
Religion isn't going to save your marriage. He's an abuser. You need to leave before he harms

I am aware of the religion board, just thought main one would be more active...thanks anyway. nm

Administrator..was I supposed to ask my question on every single religion to get a response? sm
I didnt think my post was offensive or a problem. I was just looking for general input on different religions. To suggest I sit here and post that same question over and over again on each individual religion forum is nuts...not to mention very time consuming. Thanks anyway...I will look elsewhere. Thanks to those who did answer before it was rudely removed.
Religion board/Catholic is full of printed material!!!
Whoa
Bottom line? Religion, of any kind, IS a problem. The world
So there.
Tony found religion? -maybe,but don't count on it; don't call him Paulie Walnuts for nothing
