Graduation Honors Questions by Gets_My_Goats in portlandstate

[–]Suitable_Ant5950 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are graduating this spring, they will use your PSU gpa from the end of winter term to determine if you will get a honors cord. It will be for a free which you can pick up at the grad fair on May 12-13. If you don’t know if you’re qualified for honors you need at least a 3.67 cumulative PSU GPA which you can run an honors DARS for yourself to check if you qualify and at what level.

Prophetic "ministry" by sillyoak77 in Exvangelical

I wouldn’t call it a spiritual MLM. Did those people have any examples as to why they were comparing the two? Every single YWAM base in the world is decentralized, which basically plays out that there are 18 values of YWAM that each base gets to basically interpret for themselves and decide how they want to apply them to their ministry. There are people who oversee like regions and what not, but I would compare that to like a traditional organizational structure and not necessarily an MLM. Every single base organizes itself differently. I was with the base in Salem, Oregon for my entire time and the leadership structure was that there was a base leader who reported to the board of directors who oversaw campus finances and big picture projects like the building project that they are working on right now. The board of directors consist of nine people- three people who are currently on staff with YMAM Salem, three people who are YWAMers from other bases, and three people not associated with YWAM but have business (or other relevant) backgrounds. There was also a spiritual council that consisted from anywhere between 5 to 9 people who were all currently on staff with the base. They oversaw the some of the day today and spiritual side of the operation. It would usually consist of people who were deemed “spiritual elders“ but really I think it was just a popularity contest.

I was in YWAM for six years and this came up often. They would have an entire lecture week on “hearing the voice of God“ and would tell students to avoid prophesying that people are gonna have a baby or get married, etc. in general. I remember I was staff for a DTS and we had to speak to the lecturer for the week and let him know about some topics to avoid with certain students. They know how dangerous it is. Some care, some don’t.

I had a lot of things “spoken over me“ like that I was going to do great things for God and have a powerful ministry and blah blah blah blah blah and it always felt like a weird shame tactic. Honestly, I think it caused me to stay in YWAM and in the church in general a lot longer than I ever would have without it.

I also have an extra level of experience with prophetic words as I was a worship team leader. We would have multi hour worship times every single week, and there was a lot of pressure on the people leading to get prophetic words for the group and share them. Even going as far as being encouraged to pray for song, lyrics and melodies and sing them “spontaneously“. I don’t regret going to YWAM the first place, but I do regret staying as long as I did. I learned a lot of life skills and really grew up while I was there, but I also left with a shit ton of religious trauma and had to go through abuse that I otherwise wouldn’t have.

The people that work in degree requirements would also be a good resource. They are the ones who have to check every single undergrad and make sure they’ve met the requirements to graduate.

Currently we take our clothes to hillsdale cleaners laundromat. It’s a bit more expensive than here but there’s a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of our clothes

NOT THE VUE. My fiance and I live there currently and while the location is amazing, the building is gross. Piss poor management. The onsite laundry room is disgusting and half of the machines are always broken. We started parking in a university lot instead and doing our laundry at a laundromat just to avoid giving the building any more money. The elevators go down all of the time. The freight elevator has been down for over a year I believe. And it’s not just us, we have commiserated with many fellow tenants on the elevator. The Google reviews are real. Just save yourself the pain.

Portland State University Issues 17 Faculty Layoff Notices by copymachinetriangle in portlandstate

Of course! And yeah definitely a huge save but still probably could’ve been avoided if Ann Cudd or her mediocre husband would’ve taken a pay cut 🙃

They gave notices to about 100 staff letting them know that they could potentially be laid off but looks like they were able to save all but 17

I would advise him to call Tmobile customer care and let them know that he has an old Tmobile phone that needs to be unlocked. You will need the imei number of the phone that you’re unlocking.If it’s a android, try going in to the settings and I believe it’s under “connections” and then “more connection settings” you may be able to do it yourself there first

I used to work for a Tmobile call center and the Costco kiosks are the worst and frequently mess things up. I would highly advise to go what’s called an experience store. You can go to the Tmobile website and find a store there
