separation of church and state
Posted By: Snow Bunny on 2005-11-11
In Reply to: I think America.... - SM
was not the design of the forefathers. The origin was with Thomas Jefferson, when a minister asked that his denomination (don't remember which one) be considered THE religion of the country. Jefferson said he would not give preference to one religion over another. That's how the entire separation of church and state later came to be interpreted.
But despite the "evolution" of things, it's still an excellent idea. I feel that all religion in any way, shape, and form needs to be kept out of the public school system, and that includes closing the school for what are viewed as religious holidays (i.e. Good Friday).

Where does it state in her post that she and her kids don't go to church?

There is a church in Gonzales that is a small church but housing evacuees.
Helping a small church could be the best way to help someone.
Their web page says they need everything from personal items to clothing and bedding to food and water, don't forget first aid supplies. They said you could send money but there's nothing there to buy anyway.
The address is:
Gonzales Church of Christ
1225 South Purpura
Gonzales, LA 70737
Bigger churches have more people, it's the small churches that need outside help and don't qualify for Red Cross or anyone else to help but people like us.
Go to church.

Go to church
I do and have - but our church is small, almost all elderly people attend, and I don't seem to have much in common with the people who go there - age difference is probably the case. Thanks for the suggestion though!!

Try a different church.

Are they getting married in a church?
Do you have a preacher or someone he could speak with at your church? I will pray for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. What a mess. She'll be his "first divorce" as they say.
church sermons
Many churches tape their sermons for transcription and then they are posted on several web locations. Especially Lutheran Churches part of the Missouri Society.
I have filled the position, and regardless of the errors in my ad I received numerous resumes, well over 200 for just 2 positions. I appreciate all of the interest.
I also appreciate the remarks regarding the errors in my ad. I am sure those who were greatly upset by them did not apply. I will refrain from making comments on the errors in resumes I received. Being as small as I am, again, I appreciate having a location to find those individuals willing to take on a small portion to help me out. ( A dollar here, a dollar there adds up)
I wish you all good luck.
church sermon
I used to do denominational transcription "eons" ago. It is very interesting. Try churches... I am very sure there's people that could do it.
I give at my church
and other local places but I can only contribute so much.
While we're on the subject of church...
He is wanting to try counseling through church. I'm not sure how long to give this. Can you put a time limit on something like this??
Join a church? Seriously. I have a mom's group through the sm
church where we get together for lunch once a week amongst many other activities within our church. Fairly large church. Couldn't survive without it.
no wonder church attendance was down - all the jerks were
lol
anyone ever transcribe a church sermon?
how do I decide what to charge to do this? Flat rate? Per tape rate? per page? i don't think per line is a good way to go...
Our church sends care packages....sm
Some of the things we send are:
Pretzels, chips like Pringles in a hard can, peppermint or hard candy, beef jerky, cheese crackers (the kind with cheese or peanut butter in them), the canisters of Oreos, Cheezits, etc.
If they have kitchen facilities or a microwave available to them: microwave popcorn, Ramen noodles in a cup, Cup of soup.
We also send word-search puzzle books, crossword puzzles, and perhaps some magazines that they might be interested in.
Hope this helps. :)
They are from the Westeboro Baptist Church in Topeka
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,217760,00.html
This above link goes to an update on Fox News about the group. They say they won't go to the funerals if given air time to "espouse Westboro's beliefs."
This quote is from the daughter of the "church's" pastor: "Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."
What an unbelievable world we live in.
Does anyone have any experience with church sermon transcription?
I've done a Google search and can't seem to find many ways to connect with companies or individuals seeking church sermon transcriptionists? If you have any information about this at all, please send me an email or respond on this board.
Thank you so much.
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.
too!
This is a wonderful suggestion. The church I used to attend when I lived in KY
did this and I never got around to ordering. Of course that was five years ago and the world wasn't in the economic crisis it is in now, so I never really thought about it. I just now got the angel food website and found that a church in my small rural town participates and I'm definitely going to start ordering!
Entertain them? Chores? Church on Sunday? You women are a joke!
How you are reading that into my statements is really a hoot! Please tell me you don't have children! My, we are all on the defense over this - how many of you have no relationship with your kids? Soooooooo sad!!
Woops, meant to say the jeans and t-shirt are fine for CHURCH...

I would let DD go with Habitat for Humanity or a church mission, but not that wild party stuff.

Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
My kids play in a church basketball league and I am going to watch their games today.
I am going to whip up a fabulous dinner (have no idea what though) and watch a movie later tonight with the family. Church tomorrow!
Would love to make time for an eyebrow wax and pedicure in there somewhere just to spoil myself a little bit - probably not going to happen though!
varies from state to state...nm

Some people just CHOOSE to live in DE NILE (DENIAL) and we all see you are ONE OF THOSE.
Some of us CHOOSE to go through life as a REALISTS!
  
Things are different from state to state, but I think
you probably could, if you are actually "laid off." You would have to get a letter from your surgeon regarding your temporary disability status and take to the unemployment office and to Medicaid....but you know how Medicaid works, 1.5 pennies over the income limit, you don't get it. But, as I stated, laws differ from state to state, so you would have to inquire or go on their websites and see what they will approve and what they will not.
If not in your state, try filing in THEIR state. Then they
nm
Each state has different laws. Where I live, if I have clients in the same state I live in, yes I ne
have clients from another state, no I do not need a license. Every state is different. I checked with my attorney and the State Business offices.
what state are you in. May be able to tell you nm
:)
Again, I must state...
Why does any state take them in
"we have enough losers of their kind here already, i'm pissed"
WHY? Because your have competition???? As they say, it takes one to know one.
Your just a very sad case if you ask me & probably would be the first to demand it all if it were you
Can you tell us what state they are in?
or the first letter of their name? TIA
state -
Wyoming/Montana.
Did not want to state her as there are men who are MTs also.
dd
What state are you in? Maybe we can help.
you state....
"serving his country" Our military over in Iraq is NOT serving the USA, sorry to speak. I support our soldiers and have several friends and my brother over there serving. But, I am not in support of the war itself or our president who put us there.
In reply to some of the other posts.......I also have friends who got a good education paid for due to their service in the military, so yes it is a reason for many to enlist. I would not encourage my own child to enlist, mostly due to fear that he or she would need to go to war one day and my love for them far outweighs my love for my country. And, I personally don't feel that war is the path God leads us in.....
All the ads do not state exactly what they want....sm
a lot of them do state looking for IC status but most certainly do want to dictate times working and weekends, been there and needless to say refused !!
maybe goes by state.

What state are you in?

State
I am in North Carolina, but the this is coming from Illinois. It just sounds like a mess to me. I know you can get incorporated online, but I would rather talk to an attorney first.
Any info on proprietorship would be appreciated. Sounds like more federal, state and county money.
I do all that you state above but I do know - sm
that many don't do this. I have 2 IC jobs, neither has a true QA dept. I am expected to proof my work by relistening, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, though I do always go over it quickly. My one manager complains a lot about how most of the MTs do not take the time or effort to look up doctor names, or to call her if they have trouble with a name. I have told her a million times it is because (1) they don't care, (2) they won't take the time since they are not getting paid for it. I generally limit myself to 5 minutes, then if I cannot find it I call her later on and she finds it for me and I fill in my blank. Yeah, it is a pain to do and cuts into my bottom line but I do turn in good work and they have no complaints as far as I am concerned anyway. Too many MTs think they are above the little stuff that counts, one more reason for hospitals to outsource to India. At my one IC job, we just got the work stopped from going to India overnight, which is great, now we have more work than we know what to do with and are working our butts off to keep in TAT, but at least we are the ones earning the money; so if I have to be a bit more dilagent in more work it is worth it, and I wish other (more) MTs felt the same.
What state was this in? How's the pay?
?

What state are you from? I live in Indiana
its different in every state nm

Out-of-State
No...you would not be a resident of that state, so therefore, you still have to pay your state taxes. They usually dont care where you do the work as long as it gets done. I travel quite a bit and have my platform on both my desktop and laptop so that I can work wherever I am at the moment.
So, are you going to tell us the state???
x
Oh, my, again I will state
about the fact your program is not being trained. On the weekends I type mostly ESLs and if I did not have Escription I would pull my eyebrows out 1 by 1 (including the nails on my fingers). You should never have to retype like you are saying, never. Why are you using the so called "hot" keys? You do not have to do this, I don’t, had typed far too long straight to learn a new trick now and do great with the mouse alone. As I press my foot pedal once the actual dictation starts each word is encapsulated in a red box, always lets me know where I am. Get your mouse, give that a try (the companies are not going to fire you because of not using the hot keys) and see if that will alleviate some of the distaste you are having at this time. Wish I knew how to tell you about the sorry reports you are getting but your program is not learning, simple as that.
check out state
Maybe check out state or federal jobs. That is how I started. I was hired with absolutely no experience to work in a clinic for the state. They then sent me to a local college at night and paid for my education. MQ used to hire from transcription schools. I dont know if they still do. I think I read also where Encompass does. I know Chronicle Transcripts used to as I worked there as lead transcriptionist and used to help train newbies. Good luck!
