I'm trying to decide what to do, can you all help?
I have no more work left to do for the day. I really don't want to be here and the only reason I have to stay is that I need the money. I also doesn't help that today is payday, I haven't received my paycheck yet. Also this is "vatican week" (or the week that all my supervisor's attention is on this magazine that we put out once a month about the vatican), and all the work that I have done in the last week and a half is put on hold and I am waiting because this magazine come first. So the question is is it worth it to leave early or put up with the rest of the boring day ahead of me for the extra money in my next paycheck? What do you suggest. Have I mentioned that I am extremely bored.

instead of asking questions just answer them it is fun also
2 :
You'll get threw it!! You probably only have a few more hours..just wait it out..more money for you. Just stay on here and answer some questions
3 :
Stay at work, pocket the money. At least you have the internet to keep you entertained. Go to ebaumsworld.com for cool stuff to look at..pics and videos and such.
4 :
Stay at work for the money if you need it. Keep playing around on the net until it is time to go home. Other wise just leave and enjoy the day.
5 :
if you "really need" the $...stay! try to find other things to do or maybe help someone else out with their work. But if you decide to go home, fill your day with things you like to do then you won't be so bored.
6 :
yes, you do sound bored, your question was way to long.....just leave for gods sake.
7 :
i would stay. getting paid to just sit there? sounds good to me. of couse i dont have ur job. go get some coffee or something that might help ur boredom
8 :
Stay on Yahoo Q/A, time flies...
9 :
I must say that staying and getting the $$$ is very attractive. But I think I would yield to the boredom and go out and get into some mischief.
10 :
answering questions here will pass the time--it'll get away from you sometimes LOL
11 :
Answer Questions on Yahoo 360 time will fly by
12 :
I don't remember having a job where I had nothing to do; but I suppose you could ask if any co-workers need some help with something...maybe they are behind in their work...
13 :
Unless you have something else to accomplish that is work what you make (known as an economic trade off) then stay. I always keep some crosswords, etc., to do plus games on my cell phone just in case boredom strikes. Have you thought about asking your supervisor if you can assist with the magazine? Maybe you could seize an opportunity to look ambitious and get ahead!
14 :
I believe you should stay and finish the day out. I have been in this type of a situation many times and regret showing weakness by not just toughing out a couple more hours. There are so many worse things in this world that could be happening to us at this moment than being stuck at work for 8 hours. Hope that helps. Smile and enjoy what life gives you, it doesnt last forever.
15 :
stay
16 :
Well, if you really need the money, then you just stay. But, if it isn't what you like to do, you should find another job with more things to do and not so boring. Since you have so much time, you can surf online and find a job that's better for you.
17 :
How about see if there is a more challenging job for you
18 :
I'm not sure what exactly your financial situation is. Do you live on your own or do you have a roommate? I realize that you are bored at work but I would stay to get a full days work. You might need the extra money for Christmas or if your car breaks down. Try bringing a book with you next time. Or stay on Yahoo's Q & A and ask questions and give answers. If you have friends and family near by, call them. Talk with your co workers. Some suggestions to pass the time away.

Do they speak Latin in the Vatican because the Pope & everyone else there know that L is Aten
Do they speak Latin in the Vatican because the Pope & everyone else there know that L is Aten?
...Latin or L. Aten or El Aten - Elohim Aten. 1 John 5:7-8 says three bear witness in heaven the Father, the Word & the Holy Ghost & these three are one. Three bear witness in the earth the Spirit, water , & the blood & these three agree in one. Well researh shows The Father in heaven & water on earth = Nun,pronounced noon like the 9th. hour. The Word (Solar Logos) in heaven & blood on earth = Atum (Adam) the figure of he which is to come (Romans 5:14) Amen, the god of life & reproduction. The Holy Ghost in heaven & the Spirit on earth = Aten. Isaiah 19:25 - Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, & Israel my inheritance, says the Lord of hosts.

Why has the Vatican declared that the Bible is not Actually Truth
Why has the Vatican declared that the Bible is not Actually Truth?
THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article574768.ece If there had been a problem with the Scriptures , Jesus would have pointed it out ,But he says Many Times, "It is Written" and "Your Word is Truth".. ..His very reason for being sent here to Planet earth was to fulfill and bear Witness to the Scriptures..... It is Written "All Scripture is inspired of God" What are they saying about the The Apostles of Jesus? The Apostle Paul says at 2 Timothy 3: 15 and that from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through the faith in connection with Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work........

The Catholic Church teaches its own doctrine. It is not from scripture therefore the Bible contradicts Catholicism. They deny Jehovah as God Almighty, teach hellfire, everlasting soul and trinity. Their churches are decorated lavishly, filled with statues of whomever and flags of the nation they reside in, they prey off the parishioners to support the coffers and readily accept money for weddings, baptisms etc. They don't discourage sinning as the confessionals have swinging doors, so to speak. They know not of the Kingdom of God nor do they teach it. If they realized what is around the corner for them they would hopefully wake up, admit their misdeeds and stop misleading their followers. The hope they give is a false hope and not from God. In short, the Bible exposes the Catholic Church for what it is, a false prophet, liar, and destroyer of men.

Is it possible to resign from the Catholic Church
Is it possible to resign from the Catholic Church?
I'm curious, because it's the law that as an American citizen you can legally resign from any church that you so choose, just as you can join any church you so choose. But the Vatican is in Italy, not the United States. So I'm wondering how that works. Even if the US has no control over the Vatican and can't force the Church to allow their members to resign, the members still reside here. I know it's possible to be excommunicated, but it's not the same thing. Just curious. Thanks.

Baptism leaves an indelible mark upon your soul. You are always Catholic, but can lose your salvation through rejection of Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church. Once a Catholic Always a Catholic. Only forgiveness is necessary for returning to Christ Jesus.

Catholicism is The only true Christian Faith. Catholicism leads to eternal happiness in heaven, since Catholicism teaches a full gospel, because Catholicism teaches We are saved by Christ's grace alone, through faith and works done in charity inspired by the Holy Spirit for salvation, and that is a true gospel of works Matthew 25:33-46 NO WORKS NO FAITH.32 Jesus answered them: Many good works I have showed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me And The Catholic Church. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father. John 14:12: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (GALATIANS 1:6-9). For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (EPHESIANS 2:8-10) It's clear from the Book of Acts in the Bible that Catholics existed during the days of Acts. And Is where the word Christian was invented. Evodius was the first Bishop of Antioch a Catholic, and he is credited with being the first person to call the followers of Christ, "Christians", as shown in Acts 11:26. See Eusebius, book 3, chapter 22.http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05653a.htm Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D.. In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"... Catholicism existed for Centuries before any Protestant sect was formed .Centuries after Jesus formed the First church the catholic church.. Those in the Book of Acts are the first Christians, and they believed what would be called Catholic doctrine today. ANYONE can read the Book of Acts for themselves and see. Had Protestantism existed during the time of Acts, the first Christians would have rejected It completely Because the Bible was not yet formed neither the doctrines of OSAS , Faith alone, and Sola scriptura. . Also there's Heretic Christians who also completely rejected Catholicism, long before Martin Luther was even born. At the Council Of Nicea they were rejected and were called Arians. Which is why we have the belief In the Trinity they rejected the heretics. And there is no "pope" in the Bible Because they were called Bishops Which is what they are still called. Every "pope" is a Vicar Of Christ. There were ALWAYS saved believers outside the catholic , who did not know The full truth of Catholicism but that was by the grace of the savior they would have been catholic if given the time. Catholicism saves. By Only believing in Jesus alone for salvation, That is what the Catholic church teaches. The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. AMEN. I'm not a "protestant". I'm a saved believer in Jesus

Yes. Here is the Vatican's official document on how a person abandons the Catholic Church, ACTUS FORMALIS DEFECTIONIS AB ECCLESIA CATHOLICA: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/intrptxt/documents/rc_pc_intrptxt_doc_20060313_actus-formalis_en.html With love in Christ.
I'm curious, because it's the law that as an American citizen you can legally resign from any church that you so choose, just as you can join any church you so choose. But the Vatican is in Italy, not the United States. So I'm wondering how that works. Even if the US has no control over the Vatican and can't force the Church to allow their members to resign, the members still reside here. I know it's possible to be excommunicated, but it's not the same thing. Just curious. Thanks.

Yes you can resign, it's called walking out the door. No one is going to stop you. And the Vatican is not in Italy it is in Vatican City. Different countries.

Why not? What are they, the Mafia? edit: Oh.

you just stop attending, and don't look back :-) you are free to do as you desire, it is your life, slavery went out in the 1800's no one owns you, only Jesus and He doesn't force anyone to stay, He is deeply saddened but not combative or condescending....He IS Love, He is Truth. God Bless

Baptism leaves an indelible mark upon your soul. You are always Catholic, but can lose your salvation through rejection of Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church. Once a Catholic Always a Catholic. Only forgiveness is necessary for returning to Christ Jesus.

Sure! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Catholicism is The only true Christian Faith. Catholicism leads to eternal happiness in heaven, since Catholicism teaches a full gospel, because Catholicism teaches We are saved by Christ's grace alone, through faith and works done in charity inspired by the Holy Spirit for salvation, and that is a true gospel of works Matthew 25:33-46 NO WORKS NO FAITH.32 Jesus answered them: Many good works I have showed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me And The Catholic Church. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father. John 14:12: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (GALATIANS 1:6-9). For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (EPHESIANS 2:8-10) It's clear from the Book of Acts in the Bible that Catholics existed during the days of Acts. And Is where the word Christian was invented. Evodius was the first Bishop of Antioch a Catholic, and he is credited with being the first person to call the followers of Christ, "Christians", as shown in Acts 11:26. See Eusebius, book 3, chapter 22.http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05653a.htm Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D.. In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"... Catholicism existed for Centuries before any Protestant sect was formed .Centuries after Jesus formed the First church the catholic church.. Those in the Book of Acts are the first Christians, and they believed what would be called Catholic doctrine today. ANYONE can read the Book of Acts for themselves and see. Had Protestantism existed during the time of Acts, the first Christians would have rejected It completely Because the Bible was not yet formed neither the doctrines of OSAS , Faith alone, and Sola scriptura. . Also there's Heretic Christians who also completely rejected Catholicism, long before Martin Luther was even born. At the Council Of Nicea they were rejected and were called Arians. Which is why we have the belief In the Trinity they rejected the heretics. And there is no "pope" in the Bible Because they were called Bishops Which is what they are still called. Every "pope" is a Vicar Of Christ.
