i'm really intrigued by that fact that i may know some of you and yet not know that i know you.
i just want to know how many people from canada are here.
if you don't mind and don't care about posting your province (cause i'm too timid to) we could all get an idea of just how many canucks are really out there.
I'm sorry, but I'm not really from Canada. I lied. I'll let you know where I'm from after I go through all of the choices. I feel I still have to hide. Sorry. Everything I say is true unless I say it isn't (to protect my innocence like Jack Webb would have done). I just don't feel free enough yet to say certain things that could be identified. I think my uncle may be a lurker and he would just love to tell my elder grandfather. Please understand.

my conscience wouldn't allow me to do otherwise.
after all, this is the country that schooled me and fed me.
i use all the infrastructure here, and am entitled to all rights and benefits that any other citizen was entitled to.
If you believe in proper (to a reasonable degree) etiquette, you will stand for the national anthem. It just means respect. It is not a statement of agreement. "To he who calls for honor, give such honor..." There! A scripture to refute the JW's and support Miss Manners (She does seem to go over the top sometimes but has good points)!
Really, symbols have only as much meaning or value as you give them. Standing doesn't have to mean a thing if you don't want it to. It could mean, "I don't want to look like a jerk or get beat up." And for lurkers: "I don't want to give Jehovah a bad name." My favorite pieces of jewelry are a cross and a pentical. They have different meanings for me than others, although I am careful where I wear them.

would you host one or go to one?
i don't mean a sales pitch party but a pool party with thong bikinis and speedos required.
the right friends and aquaintances are most likely a must.

this is from saturday afternoon program.
the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.
; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.
I was counseled by my dear mother to graduate and then get married right out of high school and have babies. 20 years of: Jehovah has provided for me, all right. It's called AFDC, TANF, FAMILY, TAX PAYERS, EX-FRIENDS. I don't want him to provide for me anymore. That's why I'm in college. $6.50/hr gets you qualified for his help! I don't want it!
based solely on whats available in the genesis account, what would happen if eve had not eaten the fruit but had continued a relationship with the "serpent" in perpetuity questioning god's motives?
would she be punished for this exercise of free will?.
i ask the question because my personal belief is that if the genesis account is in fact allegory, then what comes after it should be awarded no more acknowledged efficacy that what we prescribe to aesop, confucius or any other pragmatic, non-theistic value-set that has survived history .
The questions that perplex me are: What are the odds of me being born into the "one true religion" and what are the odds that the very first man and womyn that are created sin (they were perfect, so how could they sin? Satan rebelled but is still perfect???) and cause the destruction of 100% of the rest of us? I am a pagan in the making but very slowly.
i don't know if this has been done here yet, but, anyone ever go on a hunch and order something out of the ordinary, you weren't sure you'd like, then it becomes of of your favorite foods?
i had a steak yesterday, i like steak, and it had raw oysters in it.
i love raw oysters, but, together?
My favorite dish: Lengua (beef tongue) in a tomato sauce. REAL Mexican restaurants serve this. Oh, and I really do just love Tuna Helper and Spaghetti O's! I doubt I have much company:)

the practice of choosing biblical names for children is present in many forms of christianity.
in latin america, countless boys are named jesus either as a first name or second name.
there is even that singer jesus jones.
"They were just as weird as her." That's just as weird as SHE not HER, weirdo

Lams. That's precious, not weird. Isn't it kind of normal for mothers to have embarrassing love names for their babies (no matter how old)? Come on! Let us moms have our fun!
