What just happened?
by DanTheMan ini really hesitated to post this because it's pretty personal but i'm so confused by a recent situation that i just wanna talk about it and get some feedback as to where i might have gone wrong, if anywhere.
my mom and stepdad were dining at a local restaurant two or three months ago, and the server who waited on them happened to be a girl that i went to school with from kindergarten all the way thru high school.
also, my mom had been friends with her mom.

I don't think you should feel stupid, that kind of misunderstanding happens all the time.
I hope that things continue to go well with you two....

Lavendar, hey there, I DID get your pm awhile back and I am sorry I havent' gotten back to you. No good excuse, so I'm just really sorry.
I DO think I know you, but you know....there are so many stories that are like yours it is possible we don't know each other.
Do you know if your son is baptized yet?
I am soooooooooooooo sorry that he will not be with you. I hate the way this religion has screwed up so many families and broken them up.

Here's the thing, you haven't talked to her in ages. Doesnt' sound like you did anything.
So my best guess is there could be way more going on in her life. A boyfriend that's jealous, her own self doubt, anything.
If you still have her email, send her an email.Tell her that you were happy that you had the chance to say hi, you noticed the facebook thing and hope that if there were anything you did to piss her off, that she would talk to you.
Wish her well and try not to think about it. -

Yule means "feast".
Or maybe"wheel".However, some who have studied the linguistics tell me that the association of "Yule" with "wheel" (a fond belief you will find in many places, since the words are nearly identical) is a myth. The roots of the two words have about as much similarity in Scandinavian languages as in English. According to one theory, the root word for Yule came from the aboriginal Scandinavians, and has always meant only one thing: the festival at the Winter Solstice. The word for wheel came from the Indo-Europeans who migrated to Scandinavia around 3800 BC (although they didn't even begin to use wheels until about 2500 BC!) The debate points out how ancient the word is.
For ancient Germanic and Celtic people, the impulse to celebrate solstice was the same as for their neighbors to the south -- a celebration of the cycle of nature and a reaffirmation of the continuation of life. But the style and substance of their celebrations took very different shape.
The site itself is much more indepth and this is really only a fraction of what is behind Yule.

There is one you might want to keep your eye open for, he's posted on the UN thread for sure, Vot Aranyx (sp). He reminds of someone that er used to post here.

I had one person email me after trying to get him to reason on the 'name of God' and so far I've yet to hear back with a really good reason.
There are a few good people who have had great responses, but yeah there's a number who are screaming cult and what not.
Here are some open questions:
Jehovahs witnesses and the UN
Jehovah's Witnesses and their beliefs
Question about Jehovah's Witnesses
The topics move quickly and can get lost. So you are able to save a particular topic to your watchlist.
These are the ones I was looking at last night, but there are probably more by now. -
