something else alongside your existing business, or instead of your existing business. Your relationship with God is far more important than what will happen to the PhD students. What sort of orthodox church do you attend?

I ask for repentance every week. I go to Russian Orthodox Church.

How about focussing on the proofreading side of it, maybe downsize your outsourcing to PhD students, and just keep it small and ethical to make a living just for you and your family?

I'm working on it.

To be honest a lot of those PhD students love working for our company. Specially in the UK, if you are a PhD students, you won't get a lot from university by part time tutoring at undergrad level. A lot of these PhD students work at Starbucks or Uber. 
But I had a conversation with our family priest last week. He is not happy with this. Although I am too old to start something new, I am thinking of starting something else.

The problem here as I see it is if you have to ask the question then you should check your own heart and reevaluate your devotion to the teachings of the Lord. I believe that anyone who is truly a child of God would know instantly that the "job" to which you refer is in direct conflict with God's teaching. The teachings of Jesus are pretty clear that we must abstain from sin. Cheating is sin and helping folks to cheat is the same. I am curious, you seem to be doing pretty well for yourself, so how much of the ill gotten gain was used as Jesus commanded, to help those in need and how much was used for your own personal gain? That will give you your answer and I ask because since you seem to be in a quandary about the ethics of cheating then possibly you also aren't familiar with what Jesus taught us to do with the money which God has entrusted you.

Thanks for your kind words. Nobody is perfect and I am not exactly a saint. I am trying to win living for my family.

Clearly Orthodox church should not tolerate such a behaviour. It would be very difficult to restore a reputation when it's hurt. Take Catholic church as an example.

I'd say they didn't really know Christ, but rather just had a form of religion.   A true Christian would be highly convicted over such blatant sins.   And actually wouldn't partake in that activity.

It breaks my heart when I see such a sin is committed by a clergy.

Serbian Orthodox Church Rocked By Sex Scandal

A friend of mine sent this to me. This is what he commented: It’s not to criticise Eastern orthodoxy, but to know that it’s not immune to corruption like any man made institution.

What would you respond?

Thanks Debp. Good points.

Sounds like it to me, Kevin. What does your heart tell you about this? 

I don't see a big problem with it. Universities are here to make money. Nothing else.

I would like to share this article here:

Why don't you just ask God &  Jesus?



Very good answer. But at the end of the day I need to bring bread to the table of my family. I am not hurting anyone but the so called educational establishment which are nothing but debt creating factories.

If you are concerned about this, then why is there a hidden link in your post that takes us to your company's site which advertises your services?  Why do you boast and brag about it as if you are trying to sell it here?

Hmmmmmm……...

Of COURSE it's cheating!  As retired classroom teacher for 32 years, I want my student's own original writing even if it is bad.  I can help them from there.  If I get an essay written by someone else stamped with student's name on it and being passed off as my student's work then at a minimum - that's lying and cheating.

It's a VERY huge market - as you have advertised to us.  Why the LINK?

Something doesn't pass the whiff test here.

Hi. A bit pessimistic Jayne. The last thing I want is to advertise my business in a Christian Forum. I asked a genuine question. Thanks God we get enough traffic and orders and we really don't need to promote it here. Thanks for your reply.

PS You are not proof reading and correcting the words of a student, you are writing the whole essay and the student claims your work as their own, under their own name.

Not true. We get a lot of orders for editing and proofreading. Especially for dissertations. But in general yes. We also write everything from scratch.

Ask yourself what would happen to the grades of these students if they didnt have someone else to do this for them. There must be some reason why they are willing to pay money for this.

They will simply fail their whole course. They will never graduate.

If you are talking about general anxiousness and regret here is good way to deal with it. The mind will randomly take a regret and run with it. Like a hamster in a wheel constantly repeating itself. Many of these "wheels" will aggregate together and become overwhelming for you. This functions is important to learn from mistakes and be prepared, but at the cost of a quite mind that can hear the leaves in the distant trees. The main function of the conscience mind is to coordinate the skeletal muscles to keep the body alive. No ideals are generated by the waking mind. Ideas come from the subconsciousness and are generated in advance and handed to you to act upon. The first thing to do is to get the conscience mind to let go of the guilt of the past. You are forgiven thanks to the offering of Jesus Christ and the help from His Holy Spirit.

Method one: Breathe your troubling ideal into your lungs. Then exhale, letting it dissipate into the air. Let go of the bread and trust God will take things where they need to go upon the waters. Do this exercise repeatedly until the regret is removed from your conscience. Then do this for the next regret that presents itself and so on.  You will be surprised how many layers there are. Tackle each one in turn and do this when needed. It gets more effective over time. Do not hide your light under a basket of guilt. Let Gods kindness be your defining characteristic.

Method two: Before you go to bed willfully and with authority ask your mind to deal with a regret and store it away in a proper place away from you. Dreams help organize ideals for the mind and a big part of this process is to detach your feelings from information. Have you ever been told to sleep on a problem? I find it is the last dream you have in the dream cycle that deals with the specific problems you want solved. So, a full nights sleep is very important. Use breathing exercise described before to quite your thoughts for sleep. Rebuke them in the name of Jesus if the ideals are too persistent. 

In conclusion, God has everything prepared before you. This happened even before the world was made. You are not the general manager of the universe. It is okay to let go, your problems will be solved in the natural course of time by Gods hand. Be patient and at peace, walking with full confidence the Holy Spirit is there for you. Watch as He organizes your needs with the world around you and be amazed.

Thanks. Let me go more in details. There are certain people in my life I would never forgive them. I think quite a lot about them.

I always have a puzzle about my work. I am not sure if it's totally moral or Christian as I consider myself a very devoted person to the faith.

A few years ago I started tutoring for wealthy international students in London. Then I slightly moved to writing assignments and closing projects for them. Writing essays, editing their dissertation, doing coursework and so on. The business grew and I had to subcontract it to a few other writers (mainly PhD students in London to work for some extra cash) to handle the workload. Withing a few years we became one of the industry leading academic essay writing companies in the world now getting assignment and university essays from UK, US, Canada and Australia. I always have this question if what I am doing is right. Some people say this is cheating. Some people say we don't recognise universities authorities as they are here to make money (not educating). What do you think? Can someone be a Christian and still have an essay writing company? Please advise me.

Do you have a video for this?

The Byzantines were Eastern Romans, their capital of Byzantium was Constantinople (Instanbul) which is in Modern Day Turkey. Their style of art was gold leaf, gold columns, and golden icons. 

Christ Pantokrator (Pantocrator) made of mosaic tiles, Hagia Sophia (Church of Holy Wisdom) in Istanbul, Turkey. 

Amazing. Just so beautiful.

Christian bashing is sad but true. But they go easy on Islam. Wondering why!

It's difficult to say. We always should be mentored by our priest or spiritual father. Keep your ties with church close.

Thanks for your great answer.
