Of course. As i expected, you make a claim then refuse to back it up with evidence.

CONGRATS Raf! However, Washington Post is behind a paywall.

"Because they can..." put another way, because federal law allows it. IRS Publication 517 covers related issues. One possibility is that the employee is responsible to pay the SS tax even if the organization opts out. And if the employee does NOT pay the tax, s/he may not be eligible for benefits when they need them.

Could that be confirmation bias? -

I repeat: -
Ohio cold case develops new timeline, puts murder victim in Arkansas two weeks before death MIAMI COUNTY, Ohio - It's been one year since authorities in Ohio identified the murder victim in a 37-year cold case as Marcia King, a resident of North Little Rock. King had also been called 'The Buckskin Girl' due to the unmistakable jacket she was wearing when her body was found along a rural Ohio highway in 1981. "This case has really just been about technology; it's been a complete mystery," Chief Deputy Steve Lord of the Miami (OH) County Sheriff's Office said by phone on Wednesday. Authorities announced King's identity in April 2018, following confirmation through extensive research and forensic evidence. Since then, investigators have been able to build a timeline that put King in the Little Rock area about two weeks before her death. Lord says detectives have spoken to at least six people in Arkansas in connection to the case. "We've had a lot of success of getting people identified and getting information." According to the timeline that investigators have established so far, it's believed King boarded a bus in the Little Rock area on April 6, 1981, traveling to Louisville, Kentucky. Detectives say they have evidence that puts her in Louisville on April 10. They believe she was killed on April 22 and officers found her body on April 24. "Primarily, her mode of transportation was hitchhiking," Lord says. "Trying to track her and keep an accurate timeline has been challenging." Lord also revealed that it's believed King was heavily involved with a religious organization called The Way International Ministries, which is headquartered in Ohio. A 1995 news article by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette featured a Little Rock-based chapter of The Way and highlighted a woman who compared The Way to a cult. Lord says The Way has been cooperative in King's murder investigation.

Please explain HOW you can tell the difference between something you spiritually "ascertain" and a thought just popping into your head from who knows where. -

Bottom line? You're not going to be convinced by any kind of rational argument/logic. Neither will I be convinced by any argument you put forth. However, the book Irrationality: a History of the Dark Side of Reason by Justin E.H. Smith includes this: -

That's a completely different issue/question than we've been discussing. The issue at hand, as I have understood it, has been about "reaching into Daddy's cookie jar" for revelation in some real life situation. You can believe in God all you want. Faith is about believing without getting to see evidence. That's just not the same as suggesting/claiming you have evidence of something just because you had a thought cross or enter into your mind. -

Of course. I doubt that he needed anyone's permission to decline to respond, however. I'm confident he could make that call on his own. -

By the way, I know of a female TWIt who, though disclaiming twi these days, makes the same ridiculous (and illogical) argument about the "logic" of spiritually augmented "factual" knowledge as "TLC" has on this thread topic. I wonder if TLC might know that person with initials SKP. -

Unfortunately, the sound quality is poor. Fortunately, this clip is very short. Also, Dr Krauss was (rightfully?) criticized for sexual harassment and forced out of his professorship at Arizona State University. But that's beside the point. -
Whew! I was almost beginning to panic.

You have to be ready, willing, and able to read between the lines. Oh, and I'm curious, have they denounced Rico and his business model?

Already did. Were you paying attention?

Rocky replied to year2027's topic in Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith
If your point is that there is a cause/effect connection between believing that God raised Jesus from the dead and being able to "reach into Daddy's cookie jar," you still haven't addressed the problem of discerning when any old thought that pops into said believer's head can be reasonably deemed to be revelation from God as opposed to anything other than revelation. -
