lying eyes,
I don't understand, did your sister only pledged the money in the KH's name or also donated it from her own pocket? If not, it is a sick joke indeed as Viv pointed out.

learn them to make informed choices. To do research before plunging into anything. The choice should be theirs. I can warn them though. BTW, I do not have any children...maybe later in life, I am still young (24).

Are we caged lions.
by Vivamus intoday, discovery channel let me travel with sir anthony hopkins to the inner realms of africa, on a quest to find the king and queens of the animal world - lions.
as i was enchanted with the raw power and grace these big cats possessed, i was also given the sight of a lion held in captivity.
it growled, and roared, and walked in his cage, daring the outside world to meet him on his own terms, without iron bars keeping him in captivity.

My God Viv this is deep!
My love for nature led me to study biology. I have seen appalling things how mighty and less mighty creatures are being treated. It breaks my hart! Who are we to cause so much suffering upon animals!
We posses so many great qualities, so many opportunities, changes are just there for the take. we dream of so many things, we wish for so many things, and most of the times the cage that is holding us back is made of fear. Fear of losing our securities, fear of failure. We have build our own cages and too often we fail to see we have build them in the first place. Our dreams vanish without being followed.
Fear is the key indeed: fear of failure, fear of standing out (non-conformity), fear of dipleasing relatives or God (religion). We locked ourselves in and therefore, only we can get ourselves out. You demostrate good insight here!When we are old and grey, will we discover we haven't even lived?
My greatest fear: being old looking back and concluding I have really lived. Greetz, Greven -

maybe someone heard you were looking for your watch, found one and thought it must be yours and snuck it in. Still an amazing coincidence. Could this be it?

You will get used to it...eventually.
I personallyy feel it is an upgrade. Not everything is working properly yet, like the edit feature, but all in Simon's due time. I really like it.

Sheila, Too funnt!
Lying eyes:
we could get a giant rabbit to deleiver a singing telegram durning the sunday meeting. Hummmmmmm.... help me think of things to do,,,,,,, legal, or grey areas will be considered.
LOL!
How about ordering a pizza for the public speaker? Or call them on the telephone during a meeting witnessing your believes, ask them if it is inconvenient. Get the speaker a happy birthday singing telegram! Arrange a stripping police officer at the meeting! Or...or...or...
Ideas just keep flowing in...

First time caller, long time lurker
by Gollum infinally, guilt at just being a lurker has driven me onto the board.
not that i feel i have much to add, but did want to extend my appreciation for much of the information and insight i have received from many of the posters here.. i suppose some brief synopsis of my story should be forthcoming.
its very similar to many of stories i have read here.. was raised in the truth ,third generation on both sides.

Welcome Gollum!
Nicely choosen nickname! I am a fan of LOTR too. Your writing style is very good! It reminds me of Terry Pratchett!
B.) The org had then taken that fiction and tried to perform contortions of logic to it that would make a UFO convention look like a meeting of the skeptics society.A.) In my opinion, the bible, while a fascinating book, is basically fiction. Really interesting fiction, but fiction nonetheless.
I cant agree more on this!! Brilliant !

Ha! This is a funny one PR.
I personally have an anti-chainmail letter I send back to chain-mailers. It's like this one but with stronger language. This one is sweet.
