Just as something random, my statistics professor would tell us that googling, "pastor arrested" would yield a pretty reoccurring results for the last week or so. This isn't the first time he's done this or anything, he also told us something similar with "London Stabbing" which I find quite interesting.

Anyway, it's not particularly interesting scrolling through the results, but one that I'm quite intrigued is the pattern that registered sex offender being able to work inside the church, either as staffs, greeters, pastors or whatever. Though, it makes sense, church is usually touted as a place where everyone could come or something.

However, what I'm quite confused by is, why not just not allowing registered sex offender from becoming pastor? Or at least one with a role that interact with minors? I feel like this is the obvious thing to do. In some profession, like teachers and especially elementary teachers, you practically have near zero chance of getting the job with that kind of record. Yet, why is this allowed in church?

Please note that I'm not saying such horrible things occur at high frequency because of this, it's just that I feel like one is way too many for this to be let continued.

Here, in Indonesia, we have KTP which is something like resident identity card. It's a different thing than driving license. The general idea is that it shows that, "hey, I'm an Indonesian and I live on this country" or even "hey, I'm an outdonesian and I live on this country", something like that. It's basically used for all-purpose thing like healthcare, voting, trying to get your driving license, etc.

So it surprised me when I learned that the USA doesn't have anything like that. Like, why would you even use driver's license for something that has nothing to do with driving, like why is that used as ID instead? What IS even an ID in the US?

TLDR: Goodwill in economy, what to do after it appears, thanks.

I get why they appeared, but I'm still confused what exactly do you do next. Say that there is a goodwill, you've written it and it's there. What do you do with that? Do you just leave it alone forever, or is it depreciated somehow?

If it's simply left alone, is it something that keep growing or growing, or is negative goodwill somehow is used to offset the goodwill, and how would that work? Again, I get why they appeared, and why negative goodwill appeared, but what exactly is the next step after you have it?

For example, if A has fair value of 50, and then someone bought A for 150, resulting in 100 being written as Goodwill... What do you do next? Is that 100 just there forever? Do you try to somehow make it so that the 100 slowly becomes 50 through depreciation or something? Someone please tell me what do you do with that 100, thanks.

(Not sure if I need to say this, I'm not talking about human kindness nor the thrift store)

Edit: damn. Seems like you get downvoted for asking question.
