Last Week's Poll Question: Do you trust grocery store bar codes to be accurate? Is the price per ounce really what it claims to be?

100% of you said no.

One opinion given: "I've used a calculator many times in grocery stores and found the price per ounce to be way off!"

Quick Joke: The Cowboy in Church

One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach.

The cowboy said, "I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him."

So the minister began his sermon. One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he liked the sermon.
The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."

Article:     Are You Jumping Into A Home Business Scam?
by: Vincent Murphy

Across the internet there are hundreds of thousands of websites and businesses on all sorts of topics. Whether you're starting your own business or joining another business, there is always the potential of running into a home business scam. As long as you take the time to research and find all of the facts, you should have no problem avoiding an internet scam.

There are a number of home business scams on the internet that you have to be wary of. The first scam to pay attention to is the myth that you can make money online easily. You'll hear this myth spread across the internet everywhere from companies trying to get you to join their team. Once they have you reeled in, all they will do is take your money and you will most probably end up quitting sooner than success comes your way.

Although it's not easy or quick to make money on the internet, there is no internet scam that you can have success with online. To better your chances of joining a company and having success, take the time to get to know the company. This way you can truly get the gist of how the company runs and what they are all about. Too many companies are not there for you. They're just there to provide you with a few quick training materials and are on their way.

The best way to have success online with a company is to find a company that will guide you to success. Giving you a few training materials and expecting you to learn yourself will only frustrate you and probably lead you to failure.

Another home business scam that you may encounter is businesses giving you the bare minimum information to get you to join. Businesses on the internet know exactly what you want to hear and will provide you with just enough information to take your money. The easiest way to get around this is to ask as many questions as possible and find out exactly what the company isn't telling you. Never join a company without getting all of your questions answered.

Lastly, take careful notice to any chain letters within the company. All there is to this internet scam is you sending $10 to receive the company's mailing list and labels. The trick is that only the people who are at the top of the chain truly earn any money because they are constantly receiving new names and addresses. For everyone else, they're stuck with a list of rejects.

Getting into a home business can be difficult, especially if you're not familiar with the way internet marketing is run. However, the easiest way to avoid any home business scams is to research and ask as many questions as possible. The deeper you dig into the company, the more you will be able to find what the company is truly about.

Consumer Tip:

Beware: Youth Peddling Some for-profit companies use young salespersons to sell magazines and other items door-to-door. They trick consumers into believing they are giving money to legitimate charities because consumers tend to support young persons and youth programs. If a young person solicits you, ask for identification verifying the organization’s name, address and purpose. If the representative can’t provide this information, ask them to leave. Report suspicious people to your local police department and/or contact the child labor division of your state labor department listed in the phone book. Even if you are satisfied with the information provided, don’t feel pressured to make a purchase or contribute.

Article - Ask A Pastor:

Q. When is the age of accountability?

A. Thanks for the question. Many people have different ideas as to the age of accountability. Perhaps the most common age given is 12. There is a problem with stating any given age, however. Is my 12 year old as mature as your 12 year old? What about a mentally challenged 12 year old, are they to be held to the same standard?

The Bible does not mention an "age of accountability" for obvious reasons - it would not be just. While all children are under the guilt of sin the moment they are born, they are not all accountable at the same time. It is evident that little children and even some adults do not have the ability to make moral decisions and are therefore not responsible for their decision or for sin.

When is the age of accountability? When and if they become morally aware and understand right from wrong they will then be accountable. God is just and merciful.
