Make sure you check out the touchpad in detail on the HP ProBook if you go that route. Work brought me a brand-new one and I cannot stand the touchpad. It's offset to be centered under the keyboard (not centered under the keyboard + numpad) so to me it's in a really awkward position on the left side of the laptop. Added to that is the all-together-no-seperation of the buttons at the bottom of the touchpad which are way too easy to hit with the touchpad in the location that they put it. I absolutely abhor using that touchpad.
People are put in physically or emotionally distressing situations; Early Christian followers were threatened, beaten, etc.
..and this was driven by the leaders of the Church how? That is the point - in a cult those in charge put you into these situations in order to brainwash you. The persecution of the Church by the Empire is not even cut from the same cloth.
Their problems are reduced to one simple explanation, which is repeatedly emphasized; Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Gee, I'm glad that you were able to sum up all of the Catechism and Scripture into that one line of the Beatitudes. You know, maybe Thomas Aquinas would have written a lot less had he realized that the entirety of Christian thought could be summed up in this one line. Or perhaps you are trying to shoehorn something here.
They receive unconditional love, acceptance, and attention from a charismatic leader; Jesus is said to have unconditional love for all people.
Seriously? You are honestly comparing the love bombing that goes on in cults to the Atonement?
They get a new identity based on the group; Followers of Jesus are no longer Jews, Pagans, etc... They are known as Christians.
So then I guess all countries are cults as well, considering that a Frenchman who gained citizenship in Canada would become a Canadian. The horrors!
They are subject to entrapment (isolation from friends, relatives, and the mainstream culture) and their access to information is severely controlled. The 4 gospels were all pretty much copied from the same source (and long after Jesus died). Each one has a different audience, but the content is largely the same. In this sense, followers have restricted access to information. The Catholic church also regulates which scriptures form the Bible (and which do not). Not all writings of the Dead Sea scrolls made it into the Bible. Throughout time, religion have been used as a means to divide people. In the past, those who have questioned the religious leadership have been excommunicated, or worse...
Hmm, that's strange. When I went through RCIA no one ever isolated me from my friends, family, and work. (unless, of course, you're referring to the hour a week we went to classes). No one bothered to come to my house and remove all the comparative religious texts I have as well. No one tried to circumvent my web browsing by sending me a program that would block sites critical of the Catholic Church. No one cajoled me into installing software that would block any emails critical of my faith.The program I went through must have been defective. Of course, you could be just shoehorning again.
Even today, try being a Catholic and marrying a non-Catholic in a Church. It is not allowed!
So after all this study you never heard of a dispensation?
The meaning of "Catholic" (as welcoming) only applies to their Cathechism school!
No, Katholikos (which is a Greek word, pardon the Latinization) means "universal". As to your argument, it defies logic - especially when the proper definition is known.
From everything I've read about and seen of Scientolgists and Scientology, they do all of those things. From everything I have read and know about Catholicism, they do and/or have done all those things.
The Latin Vulgate is named such because it was translated into the vulgar (aka common) language spoken at the time. Churches had copies of the Vulgate available to the public. And yes, they may have been chained to a pedestal - but this was due to their value, not to limit access. Before the printing press it took a scribe a year to make a copy of the Bible.
Literacy was also abysmally low in the common people during this time, and did not see an uptake until around the 12th century. When literacy began rebounding there came to be more glosses and translations available in the common tongue. This happened in Old English, Middle English and more modern versions. In fact, the Douay-Rheims translation was published BEFORE the Authorized King James Version of 1611.
What were condemned were heretical translations that purposefully worded the Bible to make it seem to absolutely refute beliefs. This has not gone by the wayside. In fact, you can still see its prevalence in modern translations such as the NIV, which translate 'paradosis' as 'tradition' when it's something that is spoken against but 'teaching' when it's regarding something to be affirmed.
I remember when a paperclip inserted between the metal cord and the microphone and shorted at just the right time did the same thing.. Now that was a bargain..
If you still have your Zune, sync and you'll see the new interface. Microsoft made it available for all of the first gens as well.. Running it on my $99 brownie now...
"Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut." (Ezekiel 44:2). So then, since God had entered through this Gate (Mary's womb) would the same principle not apply?
"In His days shall shine forth righteousness and an abundance of peace, until the moon be taken away" (Ps. 71:7) This does not mean that when there shall no longer be a moon at the end of the world, God's righteousness shall no longer be; precisely then, rather, will it triumph.
"For He must reign, until He hath put all enemies under His feet." (I Cor. 15:25) Is the Lord then to reign only for the time until His enemies shall be under His feet?
"As the eyes of the handmaid look unto the hands of her mistress, so do our eyes look unto the Lord our God, until He take pity on us." (Ps. 122:2) Will the Prophet have his eyes toward the Lord until he obtains mercy, but having obtained it he will direct them to the earth?
The first one I remember was Top Gun. It had the Pepsi commercial at the beginning (which I've always believed was the first time that was done) and was the first VHS tape I saw in the stores under $30.
Of course, there could have been something earlier - but that's the first one I remember.
Last night, Kubuntu became the world's hardest installer for me.
Fresh download, burned the ISO to CD, tried to boot. Kernel panic and the system halts. Tried to boot with failsafe VGA. Kernel panic and the system halts. Tried to boot the diagnostics. Kernel panic and the system halts. Rebooted into XP and gave up.
I thought I'd give Kubuntu a spin since Ubuntu had this weird delay of about 5 minutes where the system would just sit there confused before continuing on with the boot. So much for that idea. Really a shame, as I've been trying to pull my wife over to Linux for the past few months (but she wants her Windows).

Incorrect. Civilizations around the world have had flood myths, including ones of pre-Columbian origin in the Americas.

It runs very well on a Dell 10v (10.6.2 vanilla from Software Update with NetbookInstaller run before and after the update).
I ran that very well until the bug got too bad and I bought a Macbook.

Actually, yes there is.

..you realize that this "piece of software" is tax software, no? Methinks they probably gave them the SS# in the context of filing taxes.
That's nothing.. During my high school tenure, we managed to float (in a lake) a 4000+ lb (1800+ kg) full-size van balanced only on canoes..
I'll have to double check that later.. It's on my NTFS partition, and I haven't configured FreeBSD to read that yet..
