  V is good too...but it won't matter. Nothing applies to the Jehovah's Witnesses unless the individual is already having doubts.

  We had been having a loverly unseasonably warm winter...until last week. Daytime temps now are in the 20's, nightime lows 7 to 15 degrees. The miniscule 1" snow we got a couple of days ago (that nobody shoveled) turned to ice and will not melt.

  Brooke said: Yes, she can get a little annoying with her , YUM-O and E.V.V.O and D-Lish!(etc....)

  You are nicer than I am, Brooke. She drives me completely insane with that crap. I can only watch her for about ten minutes at a time....or with the sound off.

  I remember getting fed up with it too. I just told the school overseer that I needed a break. I don't remember giving any reasons for it...but I might have. At the time, I was steadily missing more and more meetings and may have even missed getting handed an assignment or two. Of course, women are under less pressure generally. There is a benefit to being a second class citizen.

  Just finished a great book

  by New Worldly Translation in

  i've just finished the prince of the marshes by rory stewart.

  it's an account of his time as deputy governer of provinces in iraq and his disillusionment with the direction of the coalition and their misunderstanding of the middle east.

  he's one of the few western writers who gives an honest and knowledgable account and opinon of what's going on and he manages to do it without seeming judgemental to either side.. for people not interested in politics his book the places in between is one of the best travel accounts i've read.

  Sounds like a couple of very interesting books, NWT. I'd especially like to check out the travel one.

  For some reason that list totally cracks me up, Elsewhere! What a god of love, eh? Looks more like a psychopath to me. Pretty scary if that's really the "supreme" being.

  Nope. I was pretty much fed up with religion. The church we attended when I was growing up was Presbyterian...and I still don't know what makes that denomination any different from the multitude of other protestant churches around. It wasn't a bad place, just more of a social club than anything. I didn't feel they taught us much either. I thought I got more out of reading religious novels (of which I was fond) than I did from either the regular sermons, the confirmation classes I attended or, later, the adult Sunday school or whatever it was called, which was more like a weekly seminar on pop culture...they rarely discussed anything religious.

  My kids and I did attend church for a while when we lived at Ft. Benning, GA. Kind of a surreal experience. I had a hard time reconciling my husband's profession with religion. What were we supposed to pray for exactly? Please, God, let no one get seriously hurt or killed if there's a war? Please, God, don't let my husband get sent to...whereever? Please, God, bless the U.S. of A in all our military endeavors? Seemed kind of strange to me. I mean, you could pray for those things, but would God listen? Why would he take sides between countries or let one soldier get killed while he saved another?

  So, while I was interested in the Bible, wondered what God's plan was and wanted to know if I should be more religous, I didn't think the traditional forms of Christianity held any answers.

  prince backed out of his party at ink in miami the sunday of the super bowl because the hot spot's dragon decor offends his religious beliefs.
