Today I had one user who encountered a 403 code whenever he tried to load the invoice tabbed screen in Field Services. The screen is default QX no. 404, I believe. No problems on the Customer Center side, where I have a custom screen.
I logged in under his account and had no issues on my computer. We rebooted, flushed cache and the problem still persisted.
He's using Win7, IE, not sure what flava.
Richard Martyniak
Are you using QXO or Method Field Services? If you are using QXO you will need to post on their forums.
Has that user tried a different browser? Is this still happening today?
Method Field services. I'll find out at our meeting later today if he's still having issues, and if others are as well.
update: all other users have reported repeated instances of this. They say they have to log out and wait 20 mins or so. I have not reproduced this on my desktop, nor has my office staff using desktops. This has only been on laptops/netbooks using 3G modems.
Noone has tried another browser as of yet, nor has it reproduced yet today. Though, they don't often go into the FS>Invoices screen.
Am i not supposed to have the QX screens when I use Method Field Services?
This is happening again with the same user. I've instructed him to flush cache and also to try a different browser.
But is anyone else having sim issues?
I'd like to have a look at this issue on your account, could you email me at email@example.com and provide me with more details on which user this is happening to, which browser and if it's just the invoices tab. I reviewed my field service pages and there's no issue that I can see. This sounds like an problem with the computer or browser he's using. If at all possible, ask him to try Chrome or FireFox as an alternate.

Joe budden is one of my favorite artists. The man just knows how to rap and create good music. Really enjoyed all of the Emmany tracks that he threw on this project. The two should consider doing a joint mix tape with one another. Favorite track on this was probably "Momma Said." All around great tape.

David Gibson, who knocked a home run on Friday, tossed a complete game on Saturday and held the Cougars to three hits as the Aggies competed their sweep of their MHSAA Class 3A baseball quarterfinals with a 7-0 win at Cougar Field.
Kossuth advances to face the winner of the Alcorn Central-Belmont series in the North championship on Thursday.
Gibson, a 6-foot-2 senior who played tight end for Kossuth's football squad, struck out four and limited South Pontotoc, the No. 2 seed from Division 2-3A, to three singles.
"We've really picked it up now that it's playoff time," said Gibson, who improved to 7-1. "We've been hitting the ball, playing good defense and getting solid pitching. It's been a good year for us."
On Saturday, South Pontotoc (18-14), threatened in the fourth, when Kolton Ferguson was hit by a pitch and Jonathan Duncan singled. But Gibson induced a fielder's choice by Peyton Belk and forced a fly out by Jonathan McKnight to end the inning. The big right-hander retired eight of the next 10 batters to complete the outing. "It was pitching and good defense for us," said Kossuth coach Daniel Threadgill.
"Gibson is one of our studs on the mound. They put the ball in play and he didn't have a lot of strike outs, but he kept them to soft contact and we played good defense behind him."
Kossuth (22-6) sealed the match with four runs in the fifth. Wilcher scored on a fielder's choice by Tyler Nelms, Jacob Meeks came in on a base hit by Blake Nethery, and Jordan Brawner scored two more on a single to center. Sophomore lefty Belk (6-3) took the loss for South Pontotoc.

A billionaire, the determination is almost inconceivable… Sara Blakely, the Spanx Entrepeneuress has joined the club of the most brilliant business minds and lucky blood lines who have made the Ten Figure Mark! Clare O'Connor, Forbes Writer, wrote a fabulous feature with the driven Sara Blakely, and I was interested to read the article just by the title!
Undercover Billionaire: Sara Blakely Joins The Rich List Thanks To Spanx
On March 15, 2012 Forbes Facebook Page announced a Facebook Chat with Clare O'Connor to discuss her inspiration from Sara Blakely. Of course, I joined in for inspiration and education. Here are some of my personal highlights from the chat… (PS – You still must read the feature from Clare though, some wonderful insight into Sara's climb.)
Alex Knapp: If she started her business with $5000, what did that $5000 go to?
Clare O'Connor: That $5k went towards materials from craft stores like Michaels, a Barnes & Noble textbook on patent law, and $700 for a lawyer!
... She spent two years working-full time selling fax machines while researching her first Spanx prototype. And as for failures, Spanx came after she failed the LSAT twice trying to get into law school! …step 2 was to professionalize her business and "hire her weaknesses", as she's fond of saying. She brought in a CEO with 10 years' experience at Coca-Cola to run Spanx.
… Sara told me many times in the course of reporting this story that her advice would be not to seek validation from others. If she'd asked her friends and family if she should go ahead w/ Spanx early on, they'd have said no, as it admittedly sounded crazy!
…she got her product on the market through a combination of smart PR and selling herself and her prototype like crazy to buyers at dept stores, starting with Neimans in Dallas.
…She'd say to keep working your day job and work on your idea when you have the time — at night, weekends, whenever — until you're at a place when you can execute. She only had $5k, but she also had 2 years of work when she took the prototype to market!
Kate Pierce: Did Sara share any insight into how she balances family with running her business? (A question rarely asked of male billionaires.)
Clare O'Connor: Good question! She has actually scaled back her involvement in the day-to-day running of the company since she had a child just over 2 years ago. Her CEO Laurie Ann Goldman runs the company from an operational standpoint. She (Sara) is the face and the DNA of Spanx, and she is still in the office often, but she's at a place now where she has 125 staff, so she has time for her family.
…Spanx does sell direct to the public on its website but early on she was focused on getting it into stores, and not in the boring hosiery departments but up front near the clothes/shoes in their distinctive red packaging.
…Well, she kept focused on it because she knew that if SHE needed this, other women would too. She's also thin, but she knew it'd fix the problem of visible pantylines. And if it was good enough for her, it was good enough for all women. Turns out she was right, if sales are anything to go by!
Emily Petersen Arnim: I like that… "Hire your weakness". I wonder if hiring your weakness can be done in the way of an effective partnership or shareholder of sorts to help you take it to the next level without significant capital.
Clare O'Connor: You might be right, Emily. In this case, Sara was keen to finance Spanx herself and not take any outside investment, but I've been asked whether the business would be bigger now if she had. Who knows. Women often find it more difficult to get VCs/investment banks/etc to invest, sadly.
Emily Petersen Arnim: For the record… I think Sara apparently made very wise… decisions for her business. She is a role model for all of us. If you can make it work to control the shares… and bring on major players, wow- what an accomplishment.
Clare O'Connor Emily, I agree. And I've had fantastic feedback on this story from young women — not always the first demographic to pick up Forbes for inspiration, admittedly. She's made it work, but she wasn't an overnight sensation. This is Spanx's 12th year.

I see the moon and the moon sees me
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday, we did spend the day at the beach and my schedule was followed to the T. The only deviation: I didn't read a word. I was only capable of sitting quietly and staring out towards the ocean, taking careful mental notes of the very few people who walked by our almost deserted beach. We were starring in our Corona commercial only without the beer. Once I was settled in my chair facing the predictable and beautiful azure sea did I realize how very tired I was. Tired in my body, mind, and my soul. Sleep enveloped me and carried me away into complete unconsciousness. After my first nap–which either lasted a lifetime or a few minutes–I understood what Marquez was explaining in One Hundred Years Of Solitude. The heat off the jungle and the breeze from the sea mix together in a heady tincture of rest and silence.
Last night, the clouds were low to the horizon so the giant moon wasn't visible until almost ten o'clock. The beach was deserted (at least it sounded deserted; music and voices from parties on the beach will waft up to our balcony) and because we really are mindful to safety we didn't walk the beach in the moonlight. I braved the hungry mosquitoes and had my own private full moon party on the upper most deck of the casitas where the world was illuminated in a blue silver light and the world is a living silver gel print photograph. It was unspeakably close on the street and outside our little casita but it's always a little breezier and removed from cloying damp up the twirly staircase and on the roof.
The moon at mid sky colored the sea a shiny gray which everything in sight suddenly possess an element of otherworldliness. I wondered if this quality exists solely in my imagination or if I am informed by the archetype of Luna and her mythology.
Years ago, I remember sitting outside on the Playa del Carmen beach, watching the moon rise over the Eastern horizon. It wasn't quite full but it was a big autumnal moon. The clouds on the horizon served to mask part of the moon and at one point it appeared to be a large reptilian yellow eye winking at us. I wondered what ancient indigenous people would have made of this. Would the shaman tell the new story of a lizard Goddess living at the edge of the sea? Would she be protector or would she be a menace to night fisherman? The pragmatist in me predicted the outcome of the story largely depended on the number of fish the shaman was presented the next morning. After all, mythological tales are usually created by one group of people to control the weaker in their own group or other groups of people. But despite my pragmatism, I had to admit the vision of the giant blinking eye on the horizon was a bit daunting and a little scary. I was thankful I lived in a time when the only Lunar mythology foisted on me was a children's rhyme.

A New Orleans womanâs experiment with the illicit drugs dubbed âbath saltsâ cost her her arm â and nearly her life â after she was ravaged by flesh-eating bacteria that invaded an injection site. The 34-year-old woman showed up at a Louisiana hospital complaining of pain and redness on her right forearm, where there was a puncture wound the woman admitted was a needle stick. She said the symptoms started two days after she injected bath salts at party, according to a case report published online in the journal Orthopedics. Doctors gave her strong antibiotics for a skin infection and she seemed to get better. Two days later, however, the patient was still in pain.
On closer examination, doctors discovered growing redness, sloughing skin and a smelly drainage, the report said. Suspecting a growing infection, doctors immediately sent the woman into surgery. They quickly discovered dead muscle surrounding the injection site in her forearm, and an infection moving so fast doctors could see it killing healthy tissue in its path, the report said. Fearing for the womanâs life, doctors removed her right arm and shoulder and stripped away the dead muscle. They also performed a radical mastectomy and cut away more unhealthy skin.
The final diagnosis was necrotizing fasciitis caused by streptococcus bacteria. Such flesh-eating infections can kill quickly, with victims requiring surgery within an average of 25 hours of admission in order to survive, according to one study.

Absolut Vodka has introduced Absolut Unique, a limited edition of nearly four million uniquely designed and individually numbered bottles. To make every bottle become a one-of-a-kind work of art, ABSOLUT had to re-engineer the entire production process. Splash guns and colour-generating machines were set up and complex coating, pattern and placement algorithms were programmed in to ensure that no two bottles would be alike. Thirty-eight different colours were used, and fifty-one pattern types were applied to the bottles. A striking look was achieved by colour contrasts and a white, mat paper label that features each bottle's unique number.

The bottle and the packaging were made in collaboration with Family Business. Digital campaign assets were developed by Great Works, and PR by Jung.

Education Advice
Planning Ahead for Your MBA Part 4: August - October
We at mbaMission always recommend getting started with your MBA applications as early as possible. By taking action now, you can dramatically improve your chances of gaining admission to a top MBA program in the coming years. It is never too soon (and certainly not too late) to take several crucial steps to shape your MBA candidacy. So we're presenting a five-part series to provide a step-by-step timeline to help guide you down the long road of applying to business school. These guidelines assume that you are setting out a year ahead of the January deadlines. Even if you are starting later, you should be able to leverage this timeline to help you prioritize each step along the way.This week, we lay out what you should be doing during the last leg of the application process, August through October.
Complete Additional Coursework
We hope that by August, at the latest, you will have completed your supplemental coursework and earned an A grade (or multiple As). If so, you will have managed to complete another "checked box" and can focus more fully on your essays.
Complete the Short-Answer Sections
Many candidates will work painstakingly on their essays, prepare rigorously for their interviews and endlessly contemplate their choices of recommenders. Candidates, however, often leave completing the short-answer sections of their applications (the actual application forms) to the last moment—an approach we don't recommend. The short-answer sections of business school applications should never be ignored and should instead be completed with the same spirit of diligence that candidates ideally bring to all aspects of their applications. We advise candidates to refrain from pasting bullet points from their resumes in the career section, and to contemplate the questions that are asked and write out complete answers in sentence form. (Further, bullets from a resume often lack the necessary context.) While the information conveyed is quite important, we consider the overall message—namely, that candidates are giving care and thought to all aspects of their application—even more crucial.
Follow Up with Recommenders
Experience has shown that many recommenders will not make writing recommendations a priority and will wait until the last minute to write these letters. Inevitably, many MBA aspirants will wonder, "What if my supervisors don't get their letters done by the deadline?" In our opinion, the easiest way to ensure that your recommenders complete this task on time is to present them with your own deadline, rather than the school's. If the application to your program of choice is due on October 10th, for example, tell you recommenders that you are submitting on September 30. By setting this advanced deadline, you can put some mild pressure on your recommender (if he/she misses the fictitious deadline) and not be forced to deal with a major problem (i.e., if this were to have happened on the actual deadline day).
Seek Feedback
As we have noted, writing standout essays takes time and patience. Still, you should not become so attached to your work that you are afraid of a solid critique. We recommend that you share your essays with and seek feedback from one or two people—from a professional consultant or an individual who has insight into the application process—but that you limit your feedback loop thereafter. Because the application process is subjective, you will discover that as you add readers, you will also add new and different opinions. Soon, a multitude of alternatives might appear, and while these ideas will not necessarily be "right" or "wrong," as there are countless ways to market a single candidate's stories, they can create unnecessary uncertainty. So, we are not suggesting that you ignore critical feedback, but rather that you not complicate your process and create doubt where it may not be due. If one or two readers support your ideas and agree that your application needs minimal work, you are probably best off ending your feedback loop there and continuing the application process with confidence.
Complete and Submit First-Round Applications
As you approach the first-round application deadlines, which typically fall within the first two weeks of October, you should of course do whatever you can to submit your best work—but you should also focus on letting go once your application has been submitted. If you later realize that some part of your application included a typo, this is unfortunate, but it is not a reason to panic. Admissions committees are not looking for reasons to reject you; they are seeking to get to know you through your files. So, press submit, and start to look forward instead of back. At this time, you might consider a brief break of about one week to clear your head and recharge for the second round of applications. The application process can be exhausting, and you will need to be at your best to compete.
Visit Remaining Target Schools
As we noted earlier, a priori experience is crucial in that in it enables you to get to know a target MBA program better and also to more easily make a case for your fit with the school. Most class visit programs commence in October, just prior to first-round deadlines. If you have any additional schools that you plan to visit, you can ideally do so before the first-round submission date, so that you can learn from your experience and apply your learning to your applications.

How the Blethen family lost 49.5 percent of the Seattle Times Co.
Last week, minority shareholder McClatchy, the Sacramento newspaper chain, said it was willing to sell its not-quite-half slice of the Seattle Times. So how did a locally controlled Northwest newspaper company wind up with a national partner to begin with? The story starts in the 1920s.
When Gary Pruitt, McClatchy Co.'s chief executive, told shareholders last week that his company was willing to sell a 49.5 percent minority stake in the Seattle Times Co., a McClatchy executive quickly declared Pruitt's announcement wasn't news. McClatchy has been "willing to sell ever since we acquired it," said Elaine Lintecum, McClatchy's treasurer.
That might be McClatchy's position these days. Publicly and privately, however, Lintecum and other McClatchy officials previously have said the Sacramento-based newspaper chain planned to hold on to the Times stake, which McClatchy picked up as part of a $4.5 billion purchase of Knight Ridder in 2006. "We plan to be a partner," Howard Weaver, McClatchy's vice president for news, told The Seattle Times at the time. "We plan to participate."
Times change, and since the Knight Ridder acquisition McClatchy has gone from the newspaper industry's power position to a precarious financial bind — its stock has fallen to less than a quarter of its value at the start of 2007. McClatchy's writedown of its Seattle Times Co. stake by 88 percent, from $102.2 million to $12.1 million in the last year, makes the Seattle company the biggest loser in a troubled newspaper portfolio.
So how did Knight Ridder become the Times Co. minority shareholder, anyway? The official corporate history is somewhat vague about details of the transaction. But two documents — a 2001 Harvard Business School case study on the Seattle Times Co. and the Seattle-area Blethen family, which owns the controlling interest in the company, and a 1946 Washington Supreme Court decision in a legal fight between the Ridder family and the Blethens — provide a detailed account.
The Harvard study was written by John Davis, a professor, head of Harvard's Families in Business Program, and former advisor to the Blethens, and Cathy Quinn, a Beverly Hills-based psychologist. It is remarkably frank in its assessment of the Blethen history. "They were extraordinarily forthcoming, especially given the sad family history they've had," Davis said in an interview with me in 2003. All the information in the 24-page study was based on documents and interviews with members of the Blethen family, he said, and Seattle Times publisher and Seattle Times Co. CEO Frank Blethen had the final say on what appeared in the report.
According to the Harvard case study and court documents, Clarance Brettun Blethen, Frank Blethen's grandfather, known as C.B., spent heavily during the second generation of Blethen control of the Times Co., both on the newspaper and on personal luxuries, including a lavish yacht. C.B. often dressed in a military uniform and preferred to be addressed by the his National Guard rank of colonel. He barely skirted bankruptcy by allowing the Ridders, owners of the Journal of Commerce in New York, to invest in the company, accepting $1.5 million from Bernard Ridder, who was tipped off in 1929 to the Seattle company's problems. In return, Ridder got 49.5 percent of the company's voting shares and three-quarters of the dividend-paying shares.
The deal was rife with intrigue. While Ridder hoped to use his investment to ultimately wrest control of the Seattle Times Co. from the Blethens, state Supreme Court papers indicate that C.B. Blethen schemed to use Ridder's cash infusion to accumulate the rest of his family's shares under his own control.
"The Ridder investment enabled C.B. to buy out his sisters' voting and common stock," the Harvard study says. The sisters received preferred stock, which was eventually retired.
"If there is anything clear from these contracts," the state Supreme Court wrote in a decision 17 years later, "it is that Colonel Blethen's unswerving purpose was to maintain his own and (after his death) his family's control of the Seattle Times."
Meanwhile, the Ridder family "worked to create contention and distrust among the (Blethen) family, (Times) board of directors and bankers," according to the Harvard study. C.B., still on the edge of bankruptcy despite the Ridders' cash infusion, was forced to hand over control of the Seattle Times Co. to the company's attorney, Elmer Todd, who also became the paper's publisher.
The Ridders focused their efforts to acquire the Times Co. on Clarance Brettun Blethen II, known as "Judge," who was C.B.'s son and Frank Blethen's uncle. While the case study describes Judge as "a fine copy editor," it also calls him "an alcoholic and a womanizer" who "engaged in white-collar crime, which led to prison sentences."
The Blethens disowned Judge, who then filed a series of lawsuits from 1943 to 1946 to regain his inherited shares in the family business. The lawsuits, choreographed and backed by the Ridders, sought to win back Judge's shares, which the Ridders would then purchase from the hapless heir, giving them control of the Seattle Times Co., according to court documents.
The plan was ultimately quashed when the Supreme Court ruled in 1946 in Ridder v. Blethen that Judge Blethen was not entitled to the shares. The Ridders, then shareholders of Knight Ridder, made several subsequent attempts to buy out the Blethens but were also unsuccessful, leaving them with a Seattle Times Co. stake whose worth and influence remain completely under the control of the Blethen family.
Today the Seattle Times Co. is a money-loser. It owns The Seattle Times, the Yakima Herald-Republic, the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, and, in Maine, the Portland Press-Herald and Sunday Maine Telegram, the Kennebec Journal in Augusta, and the Morning Sentinel in Waterville – plus three weeklies, Web sites including NWsource.com, real estate, and Rotary Offset Press in Kent, Wash. The Maine papers are for sale.

It's a classic business "death spiral" where the company has to cut expenses which causes the product to suffer which causes revenue to drop which forces the company to cut expenses which causes etc. etc. Unfortunately, the current Seattle Times corporate management team has shown no ability to deal with the dilemma and the situation only gets worse as time passes.
Anyway, very good story

A good example of this is the recent aquisition of the Preston, Gates, Ellis law firm. Perhaps motivated by concerns over the Abramoff scandal this 2006 merger is important to local business and the public issues this firm has, or is, involved in.
I missed this entirely. True, I wasn't active when it occurred, but it was nearly a year after bringing myself back up to speed that I heard this event referenced, and it wasn't via the media. I also wasn't completely out of touch in 2006 either.
This was a great article and it would be good to see a similar level of ongoing business coverage as it applies to other industries operating with an influence over the 'public' arena.

The Seattle Times isn't very good anymore and has lost their groove. It is more like reading internet news. The lifestyle section has been merged into other sections lately. The Eastside reporting is gone. Their son Ryan Blethen is writing some editorial's. It is like he is holding up the fort.
The Seattle Times should have started a website like Crosscut in the first place. Kind of odd that the best reporters in town missed that scoop.

Honey Boo Boo, the Georgia-based child beauty contestant who made her starring debut on the TLC reality series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" on Wednesday night, is a force of nature. But according to many viewers, that isn't necessarily a good thing.
Honey Boo Boo (real name: Alana Thompson) made her TV debut on TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" and now the 6-year-old stars in her own six-episode series.
In the series, Honey Boo Boo, along with her mother, June; father, Sugar Bear; and her sisters "Pumpkin," "Chubbs" and "Chickadee" let it all hang out as they flaunt their (extremely) rural lifestyle. Hanging out in mud pits and picking up road kill for dinner? Yes, please!
It seems that such exploits can be televised without at least some reaction. Here are the strongest, most notable or most amusing reactions to Honey Boo Boo's debut.
Comic book and animation writer Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series") wrote: "It's fitting 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' is on The Learning Channel. Now we know what Hutts look like in their larval stage."
Country singer Miranda Lambert seemed to identify more with the family's exploits, writing: "And TLC wins again with another show I am hooked on:) " a dolla makes me holla honey boo boo"!
Lambert's fellow country singer Blake Shelton seemed to have a different take on the show when he wrote: "Just watched "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"...
Comedian and writer Meghan O'Keefe wrote: "If you're ever wondering why that brilliant show was canceled, it's because people were watching Honey Boo Boo Child instead. Support PBS."
And comedian Patton Oswalt sent out the bewildered tweet: "Don't know why something called HoneyBooBoo is trending. Going to assume a spy is signaling he needs extraction."

When I tell people that my dad is a psychologist, I always get the same questions:
"What was that like growing up?"
"Does he try to psychoanalyze you?"
"Do you ever ask him to interpret your dreams?"
What I tell them is that, for the most part, it was really great having a psychologist for a dad. He was understanding about all kinds of things other dads weren't, he interpreted my dreams every now and then (when I was brave enough to share them) and although he tried to psychoanalyze me at times, I picked up on his tricks pretty quick, and just psychoanalyzed him right back. Two can play at that game.
The biggest thing about having psychologist for a dad is I was always given permission to feel what I felt. Whether I was mad, jealous, scared or exuberant, I was never required to pretend I felt anything else. We talked a lot about feelings in my family. Anytime there was an argument, a disagreement, or a disappointment you can probably guess the question that was always asked:
"How does that make you feel?"
The good news is I learned to be really in tune with my feelings. If you ask me how something makes me feel, I don't have a hard time telling you. The bad news is, I'm learning lately, that knowing what you feel isn't enough.
I don't know about you, but my feelings don't always point me in the right direction. Sometimes, when a customer makes a ridiculous request of me at Starbucks, I feel like telling them to go to hell (sorry, I'm just being honest). Other times, at the end of a long day, I feel like drinking a whole bottle of wine in my room by myself. Most days, I feel like trading two of my meals for frozen yogurt.
Those feelings are all real. I feel them. But that doesn't mean that I should act on them.
It doesn't mean that they're pointing me toward healing and health.
I think about this when I get e-mails from singles who tell me things like, "I have feelings for a married man," or "I'm dating this really great guy, and I want to marry him, but I can't get over my ex-boyfriend." I think about how important feelings are, and about how trapping it must be to hide those shameful feelings from people who might judge them just for feeling them.
I feel proud of them for finally being honest, with someone, about what's happening inside them — and honored that they would share with me.
It's important to be honest about what we're feeling, first with ourselves, and then with someone else. It's important that this person is trustworthy, that he/she won't make you feel guilty or ashamed for feeling what you feel, and that — no matter how "awful" your feelings might seem — you aren't angry with yourself for feeling them.
But that doesn't mean you should act on your feelings.
In fact, sometimes acting on your feelings makes everything worse.
The reason it's important to be honest about our feelings is that our feelings point to something. They might not point to what we wish they would, or what we think they do (an answer about how to act) but they always point to something that is going on inside of us. A feeling like "I hate my dad," or "I want a divorce," as shameful as it might be, is sending us a very important message.
The message is probably not to disown our dad, or to divorce our spouse.
It's probably showing us something that is broken inside of ourselves, a wound that has been hidden, without care, for most of our life. A wound that can't get healing until we admit we have it. It might point to twisted thinking (sin), sin that can't be eradicated until we acknowledge that it's there.
Do you have feelings you're hiding — even from yourself?
Are you willing to start being honest with yourself?
Do you have someone trustworthy who you can be honest with?

The new pope says we atheists can also go to heaven as long we do good works. "Do good" he says and "we all will have a meeting point".

I think most religions are either cults or behave or have the potential to behave in a cult-like way. The Branch Davidians and the Jonestown Massacre are two extreme examples of religion gone wrong. Most religious people do not behave in this sort of way, some are highly-controlling and bigoted towards those who don't fit into the group's conception of who and what they think people should be or non-members. I consider the JW's, the SDA's, CS, COC, WCOG, the Unification…

They even acknowledged in an earlier publication that his name is Yahweh. The letter J does not exist in Hebrew . The Abrahamic god's real name is Yahweh aka YHWH , not ' Jehovah' or Allah.

One of the many religions that I had once belonged to was Wicca. It seems to me a lot of Wiccans but not all as well as some members of other Neo-Pagan groups seek the uncritical and unconditional acceptance from Christians and folk of other religions for their beliefs. This is understandable in its own way but I think you'd be wasting your time with the fundamentalists adherents of any non-neopagan religion. They don't want to accept or agree with anyone else's religious beliefs other…
