All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Saw this story today and whether you're a Christian or not, it's a cool story about giving back to the community and helping out kids in the area,can't hate on that!
I work from home 3x a week, and the 700 Club comes on after the morning news. Usually I turn it off but I was working on something and not paying attention to the TV. When I looked up, they were showing a story about a family that was tithing (giving 10% of their income to religious causes). The guy owns a construction company and was hit hard by the recession, but, despite having a family, they decided to "keep tithing when times were tough."
And, of course, God "rewarded" them in the end when business picked back up.
It's all a bunch of propaganda BS trying to convince people who don't have any money to keep giving to religion. Absolutely disgusting.

I know. Feeding and educating children through organizations like Compassion International or CMF is absolutely disgusting. Giving money to keep homeless missions/soup kitchens running in major US cities is absolutely disgusting. Providing meeting spaces and hope for recovering addict - absolutely disgusting. Providing school supplies for Blessings in a Backpack, who provides poor children with the supplies they need for school...absolutely disgusting. I could go on and on. Most tithing dollars are put to very good causes - If that's propaganda so be it. But disgusting it is not.

So it's propaganda to follow whats written in the bible?

Lmao.
How about giving to CBN to keep Pat Robertson on the air so he can warp other people's minds into giving him money so he can stay on the air? Any conflict of interest in that at all?
And yes, they made a point of showing the people writing checks to CBN.
And, even if religion does do all those things, how about feeding your kids and keeping the bank from foreclosing on your house before worrying about those other things?
Religion is asking people who can't even take care of themselves to try to take care of everyone else.

10% from people who don't have any money isn't much.
According to the Christian belief, 100% comes from God anyway. So why would giving 10% to help those who have even less be disgusting?
