Well Panda...I think you have it right for the most part...I was just in a cave in Texas that also had alot of information about their birthing room and how much they relied on the Shaman's ...It is interesting because it is a cave where they gave birth (the women that is), so it was about the belief of spirits in the child and those surrounding it. Just thought you would like to know and Panda if you ever want to go to some of those caves just call me and I'll be there...As far as what the WT has to say, they accept what is fact and try to make the rest of the facts fit into their picture of what is and should be...as always if it doesn't fit well just chew it up and put the spin on it to make it work...that works for me!
