    Question about USMC drug test at BMT

    Unfortunately I am flat broke right now. I don't have any money to pay for a test. Thanks for the replies, everyone. I hope I'm okay or else I'm going to be in for a world of crap... :(

    Question about USMC drug test at BMT

    Yea, back in the late 90s, the Corps revamped its drug testing policy due to rampant marijuana and ectasy use among the Marines (kinda sad, but it happened). Since then, you have a mandatory test at the beginning of basic. From what I've read on the subject, the USMC is the only branch of...

    Question about USMC drug test at BMT

    In the USMC, when you first arrive at Parris Island or San Diego, you are drug tested during your in-processing. Is it true that if you fail the drug test, you are automatically, no-questions-asked, given a dishonorable discharge and sent packing? I'm supposed to be leaving for Parris Island...

    Are your beliefs falsifiable?

    Just to counter-point your argument, Muslims use the same argument regarding the Koran to say that Islam is the one true religion and all others are false. That is neither here nor there, though ;)

    Are your beliefs falsifiable?

    Taure, that is a very tough question. From my weak stance of human knowledge, all I know is God. He is my everything and I try to rely on Him as much as possible (even though I fail all the time... :( ) With that said, my beliefs could not be faltered because there will never be anything of...

    A Protestant wanting to know more about Catholicism

    Are you saying I'll have to be rebaptized as a Catholic? From what I've read, it is my understanding that that is not the case. I've read that the large majority (95%) of Catholic churches accept baptisms from other denominations.

    A Protestant wanting to know more about Catholicism

    Hey guys :wave: I'm currently a Protestant but recently I have been feeling God calling me to visit a Catholic church. I went to the Wednesday night Mass at a local Catholic church last week but I was SOOO confused. I didn't really know what was going on and I didn't know what the laiety...

    Looking for a new church...

    Interesting, I agree with all of those except the inerrancy of the Bible. That is actually a topic which I am reading about and praying about right now. (For instance, there are a lot of things in the Old Testament that, by today's standards, are completely immoral [owning slaves, beating your...

    To be or not to be.....godlike...

    I think what OneOfTheMany means is that no human will ever reflect the utter perfection of Jesus. It is our human nature to err and fall short of God's grace. To be 100% like God is to be 100% Jesus, and NO HUMAN can accomplish that.

    To be or not to be.....godlike...

    NO, we SHOULD NOT legislate divorces being illegal. Keep a straight face and tell me that a wife and her children being abused by an alcoholic husband should be FORCED by the government to endure fresh beatings every night when they come home. *BUZZER* WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Torah, the opposite of legislating religious morality is NOT anarchy. That is the most nonsensical jump in logic I have ever read.
