I totally forgot about this, Matt where is the next installment?!

Hooka, I stopped trying..few even cared.

Ummm not since atleast 2002 and not from the HQ....

NY's case law is pretty clear that you have to have a actually have a congregation.

That's my wifey!

Mark is right, I haven't found any case law in CT that defines what "work of the ministry" means and I would imagine that there are very few judges that would want to wade in to those waters of what is and is not a religious ministry assuming one actually does some form of ministerial work.

DD's are honorary, but most of the others are not.

PA, The Dept of Education does not accredit ANYONE. However, they do recognized specific accrediting agencies of which there are numerous religious ones, but most are tied to some religious body or specific belief systems. http://www.chea.org/pdf/CHEA_USDE_AllAccred.pdf the above list several.

Drop the staff a line and they will be glad to update the site.

Blue, I understand where your coming from, but it is well documented even by Arabic scholars that prior to about 650 CE there were multiple versions of the Koran that were united.

Ever read the OT? maybe americans should burn the bible.

A great legal article on Clergy-Penitent Privilege

You would have check your state's specific laws on the subject. Doing a quick search for Michigan i found this legal article that explains your state's requirements well. http://courts.michigan.gov/mji/resources/d...8_p5-59DVBB.pdf Here is a great matrix style chart that gives you the basic idea of Clergy's status in various States. The key for most States is that it must be "in the role of being a clergymen" not just because you are a member of the clergy.

Mark, you seem to be a bit misguided on this one. The states are pretty varied on what (if any) and on what subjects they allow for Clergy Privilege. In this case, Missouri, Ministers are NOT mandatory reporters. For instance on a federal level, Military Chaplains can not by law report ANYTHING you say to them in the confines of a privileged conversation.

It is my understanding that the Koran, as written in Arabic, is virtually, if not identical in all existing and published copies and western academics have never found a text that was "any differences of great significance". Likely due to the Caliph's burning/boiling of all other "verision" around 650. Mark, take a look at this. It is the "Chapter of Mary" and specifically writes about Mary and Jesus. Infact if i recall correctly the Koran writes more on Mary the mother of Jesus then the NT.

what do i have to do? to forget myself... what do i have to do? to lose what it is inside of me... what do i have to do? to make myself feel numb inside... what do i have to do? to fill this painful void in me... what do i have to do? to make it all go away...

"I don't want to be me" -type o negative.

http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/c200-299/2100000140.htm that should answer your PC question. I have never read a law allowing for someone to not be arrested based on thier location inside of a church.

Well the HQ and the Seminary are legal under the current California laws as well as the Judge Batten case.

If you like most retired military, you have enough paper and SPOW to cover a sizable wall to medium size room.

Currently I am an associate pastor at a small church here in Louisiana. I am also on the Board of Directors at the ULC Seminary.

they are TRYING....have not determined if they are actually suceeding

I had my wifey Sainted for Christmas.

I dont think (outside of the HQ's records) there is a really good list. I know that most (if not all the current and a few of the previous) mods were Sainted by Murph and Kevin. Von Noble has been sainted. Cost: $5 US from the HQ

not for the ULC...
