  Are there any billers/coders here? I'm trying to learn it on my own billing mostly medicare and medi-cal. I don't know where to start. I'm trying to learn on my own w/out taking classes. If you have any book suggestions or any other advice I'd appreciate it. Everytime I search online I get nothing but schools and online courses.

  Universal Issue of Sovereignty Does NOT Exist....Proof......

  by oompa in

  2. beliefs

  we are taught that the $hit mankind has endured for thousands of years is because satan said something that could be construed to be bad about god, and so god said...."let's let mankind see if they are better off following satan and leading themselves, or following me.

  " now thousands of years later, this universal issue is still not settled...after all...the angles and demons are waiting with baited breath for the end result.. do you think that just because you were taught since youth that this "universal sovereignty issue" is real, it is?

  i have some real good biblical reasons this is not even an issue.............................................oompa.

  Before I got baptized at the ripe mature old age of 13 an elder asked me if I had any questions about the bible that haven't been answered.
  
  I told him that I didn't understand why God allowed the world to go on after Adam and Eve sinned. Why didn't he just destroy the two of them for disobeying and start over. That is when he gave me the Universal Issue of Sovereignty explanation. You would think I'd have already known the answer since my baptism was already approved and only a few weeks away. And after-all I was 13 years old and knew everything there was to know about life.
  
  Anyways that answer did not satisfy me but I had to say oh right that makes sense. Thank you elder adulterer for clarifying that for me.
  The adultery scandal involving him and a single witness lady came out into the open a couple months after I took the plunge.
  
  I think that explains why he let me get baptized even though I hadn't fully understood all the JW doctrines. He seemed like a nice man and I'm sure he was feeling guilty about his sin and felt like he had no place judging me.
  
  So I don't have scriptures to back up my take on the subject but it makes no sense to me that a righteous and loving God would allow so much evil and injustice to go on just to prove he is the only one capable of ruling humankind. This explanation leaves more questions than answers for me.

  almost 25 years ago, at 17, i fell under the spell of this gorgeous, sexy, blond sister from a neighboring cong'.

  i carried this crush like a pathetic puppy for almost 2 years, never summoning the nerve to ask her out.

  i deservedly lost the girl.

  I didn't read all posts so here is my opinion. Only meet her w/ your wife if you are going to meet her at all. I'm all for meeting up with old friends who've left the org. Just don't put yourself in situations that could have the potential to hurt your wife.

  I'm not doing so well. I only walked one day this past week. Tomorrow though I'm starting to push myself again like I did in September. The holidays are officially over now so no more excuses for me.

  Count me in too! I started my new diet Sept. 15th. So far I lost about 15lbs, one dress size. But with the Holidays things have slowed down for me. But I haven't gained any weight back thank goodness. I want to lose 40lbs by Mid-April.
  
  I use this website to track my calories and exercise . . . http://www.thedailyplate.com/users/myplate/?when=2007-11-09&expi=14552022
  
  I'll check out CalorieKing.
  
  I started walking during my lunch hour at work and I drink one Slimfast for breakfast everyday and am trying very hard to stay away from take-out food. I think though that I will add more calories to my breakfast and lunch and start drinking the Slimfast for dinner instead.
  That is probably healthier for me.
