If a man expected to be drafted why did he often sign up voluntarily first

Signing up voluntarily was generally better than being drafted, because:

1) Sign on bonus: Volunteers who sign up are usually given a "sign-on bonus", or a amount of cash for joining the military

2) Choice: Usually when one is drafted, they would end up in the Army. If you want choice, you generally would sign up to the area you have interest in.

That person probably didn't care where he would be placed so he signed up voluntarily do what he was suppose to do, or what ever somebody told him. He would've want to just help also.

Hope this helps, sorry if not tho

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
