Question about Mormons and Christianity
Tabula Rasa replied to Unicorn.'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
I read the entire thread over there. All I can say is that I am so grateful for this forum and the wonderful men and women here that can discuss beliefs without acting like the final authority :glare:. The thread over there was disheartening, especially the whole "if you don't denounce Mormonism (even if you aren't LDS), you can't be saved." :001_huh: -

Question about Mormons and Christianity
Tabula Rasa replied to Unicorn.'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
I want to thank the LDS women who answered questions about their faith with such openness and kindness. I personally define Christianity as a belief in Christ, that he died on the cross to save us from our sins. So I would be hard pressed to say that Mormons are not Christian. But then again there are those that believe Catholics aren't Christian either. :001_huh: There is a lot of wisdom in this thread, from the LDS and the non-LDS, so I am thankful that for the most part people have been civil. -
Punishment for blatant lying?
Tabula Rasa replied to jenn-'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
Actually if you have read the OP's responses, the Ipod Touch was being used to play video games, not listen to music. -
YES! YES! YES! :iagree:

You could keep your DD9 and DD7 together and do year one, especially if your older daughter hasn't read the books on the list yet. DD5 can listen along as well.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. His death doesn't undo the evil that already happened so celebrating to me feels like I'm saying "haha look what happens when you mess with us!" or something. Was he innocent? Definitely not and I in no way mourn his death. But I just can't bring myself to want to party because he's dead. I'd rather spend my energy praying for those who lost loved ones in 9/11 and the families of his other victims over the years, pray that they have some semblance of peace. We are still at war. I'll save my celebrating when this war ends and our troops are safely back home.

Another Ken Ham FB post
Tabula Rasa replied to Colleen in NS's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I reported it last night but I don't know if they removed it or if KH came to his senses. -
My grandmother goes on an annual 10 day missionary trip to Guatemala with our church. I've heard the stories and seen the pictures of all the good they do there (way more than just handing out bibles and preaching). But it is definitely not a vacation for her. She is still recovering from her breast cancer and went this year anyways because she felt strongly that she could do good. They sleep in cots and have helped build houses and churches, physical labor daily. However if it were longer than two weeks, I don't think my grandmother could have handled it. So I don't see short missionary trips as all equal.

Breaking up with a 'friend'.
Tabula Rasa replied to Carrie12345's topic in General Education Discussion Board
The friendship sounds pretty one sided and I can see why you are frustrated with her. I agree with your sister about letting it die a slow death. Don't answer her texts or calls as much. Tell her that you're busy, apologize about being distant and give her some ideas of other places she can go to for advice (parenting blogs, websites and forums) if you know any. Unless she gets scary stalkerish, I would be polite but distant. -
Looking for Science Encyclopedia w/o evolution
Tabula Rasa replied to Milknhoney's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Wow I think that is a wonderful thing! -
I guess I don't see how the affiliate program with AAS is that aggressive. They even say to just talk about how it works for your family and children. AAS also has a very good return policy. (Disclosure: I am not an affliate for AAS or any other home school curriculum.) Maybe it's because of the work I've done in the past, but I don't see any harm in affiliates talking about programs they love. I agree with those that say that unless a person has a link to purchase from, they won't benefit from their affiliation. As for ethics, as long as the person isn't lying or stretching the truth, I think it is ethical. I personally just haven't seen anyone blatantly advertise a homeschool curriculum to profit from it. And the affliates that I do know on this board, always go above and beyond answering various questions. Their passion is evident in their posts and it's obviously not about money or discounts.

Have you looked at right start? Its supposed to be quite a bit like miquon, only teacher driven. If cost is the issue, you could just get the book Activities for the AL Abacus (this is what I have) and pick and choose what you want to teach. I'm not sure if that is what you're looking for though.

Book a Week in 2011 - week one
Tabula Rasa replied to Robin M's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I've been reading Dune by Frank Herbert this week. Its a reread, although I haven't read it since I was a teenager. -
Instead of using CHOW as a spine, you could use A Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich. It isn't nearly as detailed as SOTW and I would think it would be easy to get through in a year. Its not as juvenile as CHOW and I've heard many good things with it. Add in Genevieve Foster's books and other books that sonlight schedules and I think you'd have a great year.
