Who can claim the proceeds after liquidating the church assets and paying off creditors? What about a religious ministry founded, headed and controlled by one individual?
It , like a church, is paid for by the contributions of many people, but is the founder entitled to the liquidated assets if the ministry ceases to operate - is dissolved?

So... Since Turkey now seems set on invading Iraq and that means the US is going to have to defend it's Kurdish Allies and protect Iraq can anyone explain how this?

I mean I keep hearing how war with Iran is Bush's Idea and the tension has been growing for a couple of years, but this Turkey thing just exploded in the last couple of days and no one is screaming "Congress is leading us to war!"

I don't get it, where is the far left calling for the impeachment of the democrats in office for possibly pushing us to the brink of a pointless war that they seemed intent on provoking?

And lets say it does come to war (again a war the DEMOCRATS provoked) are the far left anti-war people going to protest the fact the military will have to fix another screw up by Democrats in power? Or will they still just blame Bush?

the u.s. is about 8 or 9 trillion dollars in debt but our GDP, the amount of money we make each year, is around 12 or 13 trillion dollars. Clearly, we can pay it back and still have around 6 trillion dollars for our budget. So why don't we pay it back?

Don't say that we can't pay it back because we can--just do the math. Or go the CIA's website to get the figures.

they left alone roe v. wade and try NOT to overturn it, withdrawal at least 1/3 of the troops out of Iraq. (Let's face it, even the Democratic candidates aren't going to end the war in Iraq.), allow some form of nationalize health care, focus on equality and education, find a solution to the illegal immigration problem, and promise not to cut VA and SS benefits.

Those are just a few examples. But, would you support a Republican candidate if they promised to do those things?

What are your thoughts?

I know it would be expensive, but isn't the future of our country kind of important?

Using con's very broad definition of socialism, America is in fact already socialist. So many of the things libs / progressives worked for is already law.

We have public education for the masses, state subsidized and controlled universities, student grants, subsidized student loans, job training, GI Bills, 40 hour work weeks, overtime pay, minimum wage, workplace safety laws, workman's compensation, unemployment insurance, social security, medicare, medicaid, extra health care programs for kids that don't qualify for medicaid, progressive taxes, laws against pollution, laws against corporate fraud, public transportation, public streets and highways, public utilities, a public space exploration organization, public housing, government armed forces, etc, etc.

We force banks to insure with the federal government (in order to avoid another Great Depression) and force corporations to obey consumer protection laws.

Of course that's if you are a conservative. Our current president does some what make me feel ashamed to call myself a conservative. He hasn't done anything substantive to stop illegal immigration. He supported a bill that would have given amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. He hasn't been fiscally conservative. He's an incompetent leader. His policies have made the United States hated around most of the world. The only thing that he's really helped conservatives on are his supreme court nominations.

I have spent over 10K attempting to sue my neighbors! Our judge has had oposing council in his chambers prior to our hearing. We have been at court 4 times and the judge still wont issue a TRO even with testimony from the defendant that he has written horrible stuff about me, gone to all my neighbors and slandered me, and is actively trying to get my husband fired from his job as a police officer. I am at my wits end and about to have to start selling off property to continue with the lawsuit and we have not even got to trial yet. This neighbor continues with his harassment and hateful behavior and I feel like there is no justice for my family. How do you stop a bully when the judge is obviously going to side with the defendents regardless of what evidence I have and believe me we have tons of evidence!

Any time Bush scared the republicans with "terror" threats (Bush's terror threats that is) the republicans just handed over billions to wage a phony war.

I mean Newt Gingriche said Bush's war on terrorism is "phony".

So are the republicans embarrased? feel stupid? or mad that Bush stiff armed them and scared them so he coud offer "protection" from the scary terrorists?

Isn't that what the mob does? exortion? so bush stiff arms the republicans and tells them he'll "protect" them. Then the republicans get so scared they give Bush billions in tax dollars to fight a phony war?

Man what a RACKET! litterally.

No wonder I left the republican part. What a scam Bush pulled.

Since that's where your immediate community is affected? If you do, why? And if you don't, why not?

Isn't voting for your local school board and local judge just as important as your senator or the president?

My grandma passed away a little while ago, and soon after
I received a copy of her will which said I will be willed a small
inheritance, I think it was for $5,000


I was told, everything had to go to probate and be sorted out before I would receive anything.
This was around April 2007.

Today I received more papers from her personal representative, but I do not understand what they are for.

It is the Inventory of all my grandmothers assets
and it list all of her properties and the market value's.
Total assets = $345,252.42

I am mementioned the one time in her last will
to receive $5,000 from what I have read and understand.

Do I have anything to do with the inventory and the total?
why was it sent to me?


And does this mean probate court is finished?
When could I get my inheritance?



Thank you for your help

I am a permanent resident in the US and will be eligible to apply for citizen ship in 2 years. Before, I was told by my lawyer that it is required for US permanent residents to stay in the country for a certain amount of time per year.
I am now interested in transferring to University of British Columbia Vancouver next year and I am wondering if I transfer there on a Student Visa will that effect my Citizen ship in the US?

At a time when Turkey may invade Iraq (which would distrupt US supply lines and could destabilize some regions), why are some representatives in congress trying to pass a resolution condemning turkey for the armenian genocide that occured around 100 years ago?

Aside from beleiving bush is the son of god, do cons just beleive anything Bush says or does?

Take Iraq for an example. The cons belive the stupid notion that if our soldiers are in Iraq the terrorist will flock to them in Iraq.

Let me get this right- 120,000 U.S. troops are in Iraq. So Al Quada is so stupid they wil go to Iraq and face our militaqry raqther than simply pass go and collect $200 on their way to the U.S. or any where else?

Is that correct? The terrorist are so stupid they wil go to face our military rather than avoid them?

Boy that's increadible. Sure glad Iraq and our military is serving as a "terrorist magnet". I feel safer already.

What's that? oh no attacks since 911? Yeah I know you wanted to mention that. good thing Bush hasn't run any more fake terror attacks lik ehe did on 911. Or Brittian for that matter. wow.
