If you're new here, you may first want to get a copy of my information and resources jam packed handbook on your right. Thanks for visiting!

When the idea of the Great Pyramid was conceived it was determined that as a monument it would express information that would be held as in a “time capsule” of sorts. Hence as a religious monument and artifact it expressed a time of a former epoch, and the information contained therein was held frozen in time.

When considering, for example, the architectural design of Sir Christopher Wren in the design of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, it can be seen that he used modern technology and art along with symbolism which expressed Christianity at it core.

Christianity had its own epoch at the very time of Jesus Himself, which was His epoch. It would be ludicrous to say that the Christian religion was created by the epoch of Wren’s Cathedral in London. In addition, the same is true of the magnificent Vatican Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. In both instances the later Epoch did not create the former epoch, but only materially expressed the former.

The religious expression of former artists and architects draw on ideas they formulated in previous centuries. In the case of Wren it was from the 1st to the 5th century A.D. . With this concept in mind then, how old were the religious ideas incorporated and designed the into the building of the Great Pyramid?

Religion has never been considered a great, or even polite, conversation starter. Views on the subject can really vary, but each person is equally as passionate about standing behind their beliefs. It’s easy to see how discussion on the topic can instead turn into a nightmarish debate.

When we are so passionate, and we have so much to say, why do we have to bottle it up? Is there a venue for those of us who would like to express ourselves? Is there somewhere we can learn from others?

The web is becoming a great source for this kind of expression. Using an anonymous advice forum as the platform, here are a few key observations as to why-

Free advice sites draw people in who want to discuss. When you approach a stranger out on the streets and bring up religion, they often bristle. This stranger is not prepared to talk about such a personal topic. The key here, is finding people who want to talk, as opposed to forcing people.

An anonymous advice site offers the freedom of anonymity to it’s users. When no one knows who you are,you don’t have to censor your views for the sake of political correctness. You can really express where you stand on a topic, and really get to know how others feel.

Lastly, forums offer a wide array of topics that can splinter into all sorts of new thoughts. Instead of talking about the topic you went there to post, you may end up discussing something you’ve never even considered before.

If you’d like to expand your views, try expanding you means of expressing them. Online advice sites for this user, have been a wonderful start. I hope to see you and discuss with you on the site below.

Due to the higher cost of running a successful organization, no funding from the government, and a rising demand for their services, charitable organizations are staying in business by requesting bigger donations from more donors over and over again than ever before.

Donors should know exactly how they intend on donating to a charity and demand accountability of the organizations asking for their support.

Individuals contribute over 80% of the money charities in this country raise. In order to ensure that these generous givers are not deceived and help them make judicious giving decisions, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance (the Alliance) offers the following tips on charitable giving:

The Basics

Don’t give cash; always make contributions by check and make your check payable to the charity, not to the individual collecting the donation.

Keep records of your givings (receipts, canceled checks, and bank statements) so you can document your charitable giving at tax time. Although the value of your time as a volunteer is not deductible, out-of-pocket expenses (including transportation costs) directly related to your volunteer service to a charity are deductible.

Don’t be fooled by names that look impressive or that closely resemble the name of a well-known organization.

Check out the organization with the local charity registration office (usually a division of the state attorney general’s office) and with your Better Business Bureau.

When you are approached for a contribution of either your time oryour money, ask questions, and don’t give a donation until you’re satisfiedwith the answers. Charities with nothing to hide will encourageyour interest. Be wary of their reluctance or inability to answer questions.

Ask for the charity’s full name and address. Demand identification from the solicitor. Ask if your contribution is tax deductible. Contributions to tax exempt organizations are not always tax deductible.

Ask if the charity is licensed by state and local authorities. Registration or licensing is required by most states and many communities. However, bear in mind that registration in and of itself does not imply that the state or local government endorses the charity.

Don’t succumb to pressure to give money on the spot or allowa “runner” to pick up a contribution; the charity that needsyour money today will welcome it just as much tomorrow.

Watch out for statements such as “all proceeds will go to the charity.” This can mean that the money left after expenses, such as the cost of written materials and fund raising efforts, will go to the charity. These expenses can make a big difference, so check carefully.

When you’re asked to buy candy, magazines, card, or tickets to a dinner or show to benefit a charity, be sure to ask what the charity’s share will be. You cannot deduct the full amount paid for any such items, as the IRS considers only the part above the fair-market value of the item to be a charitable contribution. For example, if you pay $10 for a box of candy that normally sells for $8, only $2 can be claimed as a charitable donation.

Call your local BBB if a fund raiser uses pressure tactics such as intimidation, threats, or repeated and harassing calls or visits. Such tactics violate the BBB Wise Giving Alliance’s recommended Standards for Charity Accountability.
