Question #1:
Will I still get my Pell grant and Government loans if we owe the Irs and are paying them monthly?
we just found out we owe 4,000 to the irs for a misfiled tax return last year..We are going to set up a monthly payment plan to the IRS..I was hoping and wondering If I can continue in college with the Government Pell grants and student loans even while paying them back? or if they will not give me anymore money?Question #2:
Fafsa/federal pell grant help please?
Alright, So I filled out a fafsa a few weeks back. I used my tax information instead of my parents. And because I did this I can possible get the fedral pell grant, Whitch is up to 5000$. Also know that I live with my parents. They just dont make much money at all. Do you think I can still get the federal pell grant? If not where the best FREE place to apply for grant?Question #3:
Do Christians take the Healing and Miracle Power of Jesus seriously?
Unbelievers will always deny that God heals, even amputees, even completely dead corpses.Anything that didn't happen under an Atheist's nose didn't happen- unless, of course, it was Evolution. The Bible prophesied that "In The Last Days shall come scorners...yadda, yadda, yadda..." We know that Unbelievers will always disbelieve, down to the Last Second, when they absolutely have to admit that there are some things they don't know nothing about. Okay.
What is the excuse of Christians, who claim to believe Jesus healed every case of sickness, disease, maiming, and death that was brought to his attention. The victims did not have extensive knowledge of "Positive Thinking." They didn't have the benefit of fifteen years of schooling, with theological training, and so on. They were just people with needs, who approached someone who wanted to help them, and could.
My experience with supposed Christians is that they are too lazy to seriously dig into what they believe and why they believe it, the closer it gets to Miracles and Healing. It is enough for them to believe that these things happened to some Ancient People thousands of years before they were born. They are even prepared to die defending those beliefs. But it is amazing how many millions are prepared to die, or let supposed loved ones suffer agony and death, rather than APPLY THEIR BELIEFS AND DEVELOP HEALING POWERS THEMSELVES.
I had no immunity to malaria (a potentially fatal, insect-borne disease), having been brought up where the disease didn't exist. For eight years or so, I survived with the use of the drugs available, until their side-effects became almost worse than the disease, and were doing nothing.
Then I got saved, and gave my heart to Jesus, and was baptized with The Holy Ghost, and healed myself through prayer, without using any drugs. (I have known people on my campus who had the finest medical treatment their money could buy- one flew out to Europe for treatment- who died of this disease.) So, no one can tell me that there is nothing to healing. My explanation would be that the Spiritual Power in Christianity boosted or supplemented my immune system- until I learned to heal myself through detoxification (i.e. fasting), which involves nothing spiritual at all, after I left the Pentecostal Organization that tried to tell me they now owned me. (I fell seriously sick almost immediately.)
I personally have never attempted healing that requires gross physical replacement, while I have, through my own spirituality research, uncovered several techniques that would apply. However, no Christian I have ever spoken to (including pastors and suffering Christian laymen) have the slightest interest in learning how to heal anything and everything. I cannot give my views away for free. I am considering *paying* Christians to look at them.) I have not attempted to start a church or publish books because I have always despised the use of these tactics to "make money."
However, no one respects my principles. Whenever I find someone new to talk to, certain people, even pastors, take them aside and give them a little talk, and then they never talk about it with me any further.
Being trained in science (short of diploma or degree level) I can appreciate how Divine Healing is an extremely important miracle, that people who should know better simply take for granted. The energy required to materialize, say, a little finger, or annihilate a cancer, would, if released, crater a large city. Any sort of creative miracle healing involves the synthesis of maybe hundreds of complex chemical substances- which all have to be replicated perfectly, without error, or they could kill the body. Raising the dead involves the transformation of probably thousands of parameters throughout a whole body- all of which have to be done right, or the corpse stays dead. I get very irritated when people talk about this as if it were of no more consequence than them blowing their nose!
They say rubbish like, "Since Brother X raised three people from the dead, he's become a snob!"
"He became lifted up with pride!" (No! They became lowered with envy!) "He won't come to hear our favorite pastor speak, he says, "How many dead has HE raised?"
Then there are the possibilities raised by transmutation and spontaneous creation of matter and energy involved in Jesus' transforming water into not just wine, but *quality* wine. Do you know how many chemical substances are involved in making something that looks and tastes like good wine?
This cannot be just ethyl alcohol glucose, and fructose! Yet, Christians, supposedly educated in science, just gloss over this example of Divine Power and say, even in as many words,
"*We* don't need to know how to do that!" Tool after tool is thrown in the gutter and spat upon!
(A famous Pentecostal Pastor in our country was out of gas (a potentially fatal experience at night), and he prayed and God told him to tell his driver to do it in th

the fuel tank, and he did, and it became fuel. Another pastor was in the same jam. He said, "Hallelujah! I'll do what Brother Adeboye did!" He did. His engine knocked.)
What is especially galling is that there was an American dropout who took one section of Jesus' Gospel and emphasized exercise of its fundamental principles out of all proportion, and made unprecedented discoveries that embarrass Academic Scientists to this day, and built him a $100 million empire by the time of his death. He uncovered unheard-of Secrets of the Mind and Universe, which the Christian Church ought to know about, but mostly don't even want to know anything about- until someone writes a book about it that is reviewed on "Oprah."
Evangelist T. L. Osborn was probably the first to film Christian miracle healings. Now I find, there are several to be found on YOUtube. It is important that we do not limit our knowledge to Atheistic and Satanic "Science, so-called."

Gordon Lindsay in his MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT series (THE WORKING OF MIRACLES,) recounted a case where some ignorant fellow was about to be prayed for by a powerful lady evangelist. She could see that something was wrong with one of his eyes, but could not imagine what it was.
"Do you believe Jesus can heal your eye?" she asked- not having time to ask anything else, it being a *long* prayer queue. The boy replied, "Yes!" She prayed for him that he be able to see through his impaired eye.
This happened immediately.
The lady evangelist later learned, that the reason why the young man could not see through that eye, was because it was made of glass.
This miracle was continuous, and lengthy examination of the case was made. For instance, they found that he could see with the eye removed!
The above case was the first I heard of this miracle being repeated by Christians. The basis would be that the Spirit Body does not need flesh in order to see. Therefore one need only find and engage the appropriate trigger to activate these senses at the Physical Universe level. This would be proof that the spirit indeed exists. The denial of which is the necessary first step in Materialistic Deception. Where these sorts of miracles have been documents, the documents are simply buried, or destroyed.
I once testified to a blind Law student in our Pentecostal Fellowship, but whose condition nobody else seemed to care about. I quickly found that he could not be instructed, and was not motivated to do his own research. He was interested to hear about Gordon Lindsay's "Glass Eye" testimony, but insisted that he was just as much spiritual as myself or anyone! When I mentioned baptism of the Holy Ghost, he said huffily, that he already had "that experience." He graduated but never healed.
Question #4:
Why is our government funding La Raza?
Your Tax Dollars Funding Racist Organization La RazaLa Raza already receives millions of dollars each year in taxpayer funds, and thanks to Rep. Barney Frank they are now going to receive even more.
An extremist Mexican “La Raza” group that annually gets millions of U.S. federal grant dollars will receive even more taxpayer money in the next few years thanks to a Massachusetts congressman’s multi million-dollar earmark to counsel Hispanics about housing.
The National Council of La Raza already got $1.3 million from the Department of Housing and Urban Development this year to conduct “comprehensive housing counseling’’ for Hispanics, whether they are in the country legally or not. Now the radical group that advocates the return of the American Southwest to Mexico, will get an additional $15 million thanks to an earmark inserted by Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank in a housing bill.
Frank, the House Financial Services Chairman, is giving the National Council of La Raza $5 million this year and $10 million in each of the next two years. The new law (FHA Housing Stabilization and Homeownership Retention Act of 2008) includes $100 million for mortgage counseling to be administered by non-profit groups like the National Council of La Raza, which has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars over the year. In fiscal 2006 alone, the group got $15.2 million in federal grants.

Question #5:
FAFSA/ EFC information?
Hi. I just finished filling out my FAFSA. It says: Estimated Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = 4067The EFC is an index that schools use to determine your eligibility and is not the amount of money that you have to pay.
Based on your EFC of 4067 you appear to be eligible to receive the following:
A Federal Pell Grant of up to $1500. Grants do not have to be repaid; they are free money to help with the cost of college.
Low-interest federal student loans. The amount of these loans depends on, among other things, your year in college, the cost of attendance at your school, and what other student aid you will be receiving.
You may also be eligible to receive other federal, state, or institutional grants, scholarships, and/or work-study.
I'm concerned. Tuition at the particular college per semester is in the 6000-7000 dollars range. I have little money saved up....almost 1,000 dollars. Compare that to the tuition amount (which is not including cost of textbooks)....there is a huge gap. Not to mention that is for 1 semester. My parents won't be helping me pay for college either. This is my concern. With an EFC of 4067 dollars, no parental financial help and a savings account with only 1000 dollars....Last year I was offered a 2200 dollar grant for 15 credits...I obviously won't be getting that this year. Should I talk to my college and explain to them that my parents won't be helping me pay......(they can afford to, but they are money greedy)...would it help at all????
Also, my brother has more money than me and his college cost about the same as mine for tuition and at the end of the FAFSA it said he was eligible up to 5000 dollars in grants and scholarships. Why is his award eligability so much greater than mine?
My brother has 12000 dollars in his bank account. He was working last year but it was for my uncle so he did everything secretly in order to not pay taxes. This whole school year he does have a work study job.
I'm already attending a cheap school....I can't go any lower than this school. Had you read what I wrote about the tuition cost, you may have found that out. And I didn't say I GOT a grant for the upcoming school year. Last year, yes, but it wasn't in the amount of 2200 dollars because I couldn't afford 15 credits....it was not a Pell grant either, it was a state grant. Thanks for the encouragement though...now I feel MUCH worse about the situation. And scholarships, I apply for TONS of them and I can't manage to get even 1!!!
Question #6:
Is Money That important to People than God in Todays world?
Allah SWT says in Quran:-WHOEVER DESIRES the QUICK-PASSING (transitory enjoyment of this world), WE READILY GRANT HIM WHAT WE will for WHOM WE LIKE. Then, afterwards, WE have appointed for HIM Hell; he will burn therein disgraced and rejected (- far away from Allah's Mercy).
( سورة الإسراء , Al-Isra, Chapter #17, Verse #18)
WEALTH AND CHILDREN are the adornment of the life of this world. But the good righteous deeds, that last, are better with your Lord for rewards AND better in respect of hope.
( سورة الكهف , Al-Kahf, Chapter #18, Verse #46)
Question #7:
A question about FAFSA and two step sisters applying for college....?
My daughter and step-daughter are both h.s. juniors. My daughter is targeting 4-year state universities (both in and out of Georgia, where we live.) My husband's daughter is not a strong student and doesn't know where she'll apply: perhaps 2 year technical schools, perhaps low-end 4 year state schools.We are reliant on financial aid. Both girls are on our joint tax return. When we fill out the FAFSA, we are assuming that we'll have to provide for two kids going to college. (From what I understand, we'll have to file the form before the girls definitively know where they'll be applying.) My question: what happens if we assume my step-daughter will be going to a 4 year institution away from home, but ends up going to a local 2 year school? Once funding is allocated, do we have to file an amended application if one girl has a change of plans? Will my daughter conceivably have to return money if her step-sister decides to go to a 2 year commuter school after FAFSA grants are made?
I'm finding this a daunting task -- and my daughter's decision as to where she'll go, is based on the funding she gets.
Your suggestions and experience is most welcome!
Question #8:
How do people think a college education is a RIGHT?
The US government requires that you attend school, either finishing high school, or until you are 18. Since it is mandated, they must provide a public education system (no debates on how good or bad it is).However nothing REQUIRES you to go to college. Yet most people feel the government should subsidize their education, and complain about having to pay back the loans, or god forbid...WORK while taking classes. Why should tax dollars be used to pay for your education.
Should FEDERAL funding for universities, to include scholarships, grants, and subsidized loans be withdrawn? Can that money be better spent elsewhere?
Question #9:
Why bail out the banks? Most people should let a foreclosure happen if they have little or...?
...nothing to loose.If a bank makes a loan at 6% with nothing down for $600,000 and the house is now valued at $440,000 and you don't make much money and should never have actually qualified for the home, then why would you not want to walk away from the loan the banks should never have granted in the first place?
$600,000 at 6% fixed is $3,597 plus taxes per month.
Lets say the couple can rent the same home for $1,500 per month, and they see no reason their home now valued at $440,000 will rise back to the $600,000 valuation for at least 3-6 years.
(This scenario could be typical in the larger outlying San Francisco Bay Area)
I would walk away with a smile on my face - they gave me a chance to have a leveraged gain and it did not work out, now they can have it back - see ya - thanks for the free chance!
Why are we so interested in bailing out the banks?
The current foreclosure rates are not due to predatory lenders, they are due to no lending laws - this is a case for oversight and regulation.
Question #10:
serious problem easy 10 points to best answer right away! problem with step daughter?
So my husband and i have 4 kids total i have a 7 year old girl from a previous he has 8 year old twin girls from a previous and we have a 1 year old son together.My husbands twins were taken by cps about 2 years ago from their mother (she was abusing them badly). We were given full custody of them but after she went through treatment she was able to gain 50% of her custody back (we fought this went back and forth but she was granted it anyway) So its been 3 months since she got them back cps services ended and now shes free to do what she wants. She lives with her grandparents doesn't work is on welfare (for her other child a son from her husband) and doesn't do much else but set a really bad example for her kids.
She cheats on her husband openly in front of the kids, cusses at them and talks about sex to Them openly.
So my husbands eldest twin has been acting out really bad during her abuse she was parenthesized so she tries to parent with me, she hits her siblings, cusses, steals (from us: money and stores: gum, candy etc..) She is hard to discipline mainly because she has a very bad " i dont give a crap attitude" and now shes going around tell my daughter and her twin that shes having sex with 2 boys at school and that she pregnant and doest know which one is the father. She says things like i know where the daddy puts the thing ( in the mommys butt) and acts sex out. We took her to a child phycologist and they said she will grow out of it. We knew the mom was up to no good again and went back to court but the judge feels we need to give their mom time to cope. So in the meantime i dont know what to do ive gotten to the point that i dont even want to put up with her and only want the younger twin coming only beacuse my daughter tells her dad all this stuff and its going to cost me my custody what should i do im out of ideas please help!
Some other info my husband and i have been married for 2 years and together for 6
Ive know his kids since they were born because my husband and i have been friends since we were kids
Also she is disiplined and there is alot of understanding and i love her to death im just drained and with 3 other kids it can be hard
Question #11:
Can I receive student loans any time or are they only issued to pay for tuition.?
I began attending college this semester (spring 2010). I payed for classes out of pocket and have been paying for living expenses from my limited savings. I will need money to continue to pay for living expenses and summer tuition as well as a study abroad trip sponsored by the school.How can I obtain funding for this? My EFC is about 8000 so I don't receive any grants. I would like to get subsidized student loans to pay for all my future expenses as I will be a full time student at a university for the next two years. Unsubsidized loans will be acceptable if necessary. However, private loans will not work as I will be required to begin paying on those loans immediately. I will be working part time periodically and that will not be enough especially since I need money in the next few months.
What can I do? I will be going to the school's financial aid office soon to learn more... can anyone help me out ahead of time so I don't go in blind? My main concern is getting this money ASAP as my funds are running short.
Let me simplify my question:
Can I receive a loan ASAP that will give ME money so that I can pay for my study abroad trip... which includes cash in my pocket for lunch and clothes, etc. Will that loan qualify for delayed payments (until after graduation)?
Question #12:
pell grant questions?
i applied for fafsa and my efc is 0000 and says i am eligible for up to $5650 (i think). How do i know when i will be approved for the money and when will i be told how much i will recieve?Question #13:
Please let me know is this is a good Opinion Based Essay?
Many grade nine students around the globe complain that Shakespeare is a useless subject to study. To contradict this statement I will say that Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest writers of all time who expresses universal themes throughout his plays, shows us a unique way of communicating our ideas, and includes elements that are appealing to many audiences.Shakespeare has written many plays, each one of them embodying a specific theme. His plays express mundane themes like envy, betrayal, justice, and most of all, love: But whether it is the twenty first century or the sixteenth century, Shakespeare’s time, these lessons endure. For example, in Romeo and Juliet two lovers are drawn together by the strong force of love but at the same time they must be kept apart because of their differences. In the end, they chose to die rather than be away from each other or marry someone for convenience (e.g., position, money). This teaches the audience that love is a very strong and powerful emotion that should not be taken for granted. Romeo and Juliet can easily be compared to a fiery teenage romance. Shakepeare’s play, Hamlet, is also based another universal theme. We know that in Hamlet, King Hamlet of Denmark has been murdered by his brother Claudius who craves power and wealth. Claudius is now King and has married Hamlet’s mother Gertrude. Hamlet is obsessed with avenging his father’s death by either killing Claudius or convincing him to confess his actions. Hamlet tries many times but moral dilemma causes him to fail. In the end a sword duel is announced between Laertes (Polonius’ son) and Hamlet. Laertes’ sword is poisoned assuring Hamlets death. In the end everyone dies, and Hamlet gets his satisfaction. This play portrays familial betrayal and tells us how greed corrupts. In our times, this can be compared to a broken family who has to welcome a new member who seems to have ulterior motives. The lessons in Shakespeare’s plays are everlasting.
Shakespeare is famous for his unique, yet complex way of writing. In schools we are encouraged to conform to a singular style of writing. We are taught conventional grammar and spelling. Shakespeare has a very distinct way of writing his thoughts. His writing is poetic, words seem misspelled, and sometimes he makes them up. Now we don’t consider him some fool who doesn’t know the English language, we consider him a genius when it comes to it! The reason for this is because he thought outside of the box; he made up his own rules. For example his sonnets followed a rule of three quatrains and a couplet, 4+4+4+2. A quatrain is four lines of verse; a couplet is two lines. The rhyming scheme in a Shakespearean sonnet is ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG. This means the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme with each other and the 2nd and 4th rhyme with each other, etc. At the end, the two remaining lines out of 14 rhyme together. This original form of writing encourages writers to create their own style, showing them not everything has to be boring and predictable. People seem to have lost that sense of freedom, originality, and passion. Everybody wants the easy way out; fast-food, quick cash, and six week online courses. Shakespeare’s style of writing and use of worldly themes inspires us to write our own unique story.
Some people may detest reading Shakespeare’s works simply because they don’t understand, but when it is explained Shakespeare’s plays contain many elements that appeal to many audiences. We know that in Hamlet there is tons of violence involved. This mainly appeals to men or boys. Action and drama is always the way to grab a man’s attention. Also, in Romeo and Juliet love is the main concept. Of course, the audience would mainly consist of women or very sensitive men, which is very rare. Another popular genre people are always entertained by is comedy. Shakespeare wrote comedy into most of his plays like All’s Well That Ends Well, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare demonstrates his sense of humour through name calling. Some very amusing examples of Shakespeare’s repartee with pompous, self-absorbed people are “[Thou] blunt monster with uncounted heads!”, “Thou craven rude-growing harpy!”, and “[You] live in the rank sweat of an enseamed bed, Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love ove the nasty sty!” Without a doubt, Shakespeare has many amusing elements. After all, his plays were meant to entertain.
Shakespeare’s writing is a vital tool for learning the English language. His writing expresses universal themes like love and greed while showing us a unique way to communicate, using creativity to make up new words and forms. He also includes elements that are appealing to many audiences, specifically comedy. For these reasons it is important to have Shakespeare’s work in the Grade 9 English Curriculum.

Question #14:
My daughter received a 1099-Misc from her college for a $3,000 education grant to study a foreign language.?
She used the money to pay tuition for the summer program. Because she was sent a 1099-misc she has to pay tax on it when, if was a taxable grant, she still wouldn't have to. What can I do about this?Question #15:
How much grant money can I get to start a business?
I have been thinking about it for some time and now more often than ever. I would like to own my own business and I dont know what to do to get started. My business will be a meat and dairy store similar to the franchise Braums without the restaurant just fresh meat and dairy. It will have a drive-thru and also allow customers to enter in to shop. I have 20 years of experience in retail. I enjoy serving customers. I'm just tierd of making so much money for other companies when I could be reaping the benifits of the fruit of my own labor.Question #16:
Does anyone else feel this way?
Life scares me.I find myself lately staying up, laying in bed wondering what the point of everything is. We are born, we live, we die. Nothing we can ever do will change this. We only have one shot to make this one life the best that it can be. But who decides that we have to spend our lives doing certain "acceptable" things? Why do we have to spend at least sixteen years of our precious lives working towards receiving a piece of paper that grants us entry into a mindless system of false accomplishments? Life should be about love, connections, experiences. I would rather die broke and on the side of the road filled with things I've experienced and people I've loved; than to amass all the money in the world and not know what it's like to feel alive.
I'm only eighteen, but I already feel overcome with anxiety about what my life will amount to (or fall short of). I know how I want to live, what I want to do, but I don't know if I can or even how to do it. I feel like I've been born into a system that will ultimately keep me from living life to its fullest. My biggest fear is that my last thought on this earth will be one of regret for the things I never did.
I wrote this all down on a notebook a few hours ago after I read "Into the Wild" for the third time. Sometimes I feel the same way as Chris McCandless did, but I know I'm nowhere near brave enough to be able to let go like he did. I've just been contemplating things lately and I felt that writing my thoughts down would help. This is what came out.

Question #19:
being a good father means what to men?
why is it in order to be considered a good father, a guy just has to toss a little money your way and see the kids pretty much when it's convenient for him, otherwise living it up as a single, responsibility-free fool while mom does all the day-to-day work and has`a job? granted both parents understood the responsibilities when things were easier but when it gets a little too hard he bails.i'm not talking about the good fathers who do the right thing. i know some are out there, (at least i think there are) and i know there are some bad mothers out there too so don't think i'm being biased. but in my experience there seems to be a lot of 'responsibility-free fools' and not sure why this is acceptable
Question #20:
Very Annoying Friend?
My female friend of 8 years just moved in with my partner amd myself after ending a horrible relationship she hadThe first few days were fine, but now she is over the top annoying
She refuses to clean the toilet, take out the rubbish, recycle anything
She also talks NON STOP. Her favourite word is "DUDE". One day I counted 47 "dude"s
She thinks before she opens her mouth, and when she talks, it's all just airhead dribble
She recently received $1000.00 as a grant for studying, spent the whole lot on clothes, and now can't pay rent
Also, I have a computer in the lounge. It's mine and I worked hard to save for it [saving money is my downfall] I even got wireless broadband so she could use her laptop in her room, but she never does, instead, she comes walking out and says "dude, can I show you this on youtube..." or "dude, can I just check... I cant be bothered loading my laptop"
She is causing me to pull my hair out and my partner is worried about my stress levels.
She has no respect for us or our place
I'm 21, Partner ius 22 and she is 23
She's an airhead that thinks the world is made out of rainbows and chocolate cakes, believes anything the paparazzi report, likes to live the glamourous life but has no money of her own to do this
It's almost fair to say she 23 with the mind of a 7 year old
Honestly, when things don't go her way, she stamps her foot and cries and swears and carries on
Ask her to cook dinner - for 2 males, she cooks 2 hash browns and 3 fish fingers - ?? !!
I need to know what to do - Im her friend and cannot get the confidence to tell her she needs to grow up and to get used to not getting her own way
Please... any ideas? Ever since she moved in I only get about 3 hours sleep a day and always have headaches
