If you want the guests to have a good time, keep things moving. Don't leave a lot of time between the wedding and the reception while the bride and groom are having their pictures taken. The guests want to eat and they want to dance. Just my two cents.

Frugal Ideas for a Beautiful but Inexpensive Wedding!
by StAnn inas i've proclaimed so loudly, my oldest son is getting married next year.
we have a small budget (about $5k) and they want a wedding with three bridesmaids, three groomsmen, and a catered reception.
thus far, my son is going to load his ipod with music.

Some things you did as a JW that you look back at and laugh about
by gubberningbody ini remember that right after france did a job on the wtbs w/taxes on donations i used an email-harvester and spammed about 250,000 french email addresses with an advertisement for free bible studies and a link to the french site.. .
i remember getting some replies, like "you can't do that, that's illegal.
" and i said "i'm an american, and it's legal here.

When I was "inactive" I dated a "worldly" girl. Years later, when I was feeling more "spiritual" I talked to her again. She told me how her mother had recently died. I "witnessed" to her about "the real condition of the dead". She never talked to me again.

I'd like to know who you were before you were baptized a JW? Were you raised a JW? What religion or denomination of Christianity did you profess before you became a JW.
by SAHARA inif you were raised a jw, how well did you research the history of the org.
before you were baptized?
if you were a convert to the watchtower society , how well did you know the doctrines of the faith before your conversion?

My Mom was a Baptist. My Grandfather was into philosophy and science- one smart man.
My Dad didn't know what the hell he was so a cult figured it out for him and told him what he should be.
As for me, I was born into the sickness.

The principles of Unitarianism:
- The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
- Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
- Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
- The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all;
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
How Unitarians look at the Bible: "We do not, however, hold the Bible - or any other account of human experience - to be either an infallible guide or the exclusive source of truth. Much biblical material is mythical or legendary. Not that it should be discarded for that reason! Rather, it should be treasured for what it is. We believe that we should read the Bible as we read other books - with imagination and a critical eye. We also respect the sacred literature of other religions. Contemporary works of science, art, and social commentary are valued as well. We hold, in the words of an old liberal formulation, that "revelation is not sealed." Unitarian Universalists aspire to truth as wide as the world - we look to find truth anywhere, universally."
Sound good?

has anyone looked into Buddhism?
by poor places ini've started reading a book called the modern buddhist's bible and i'm liking a lot of things about the religion so far.
of course i don't know much yet, but there seem to be some very good points to buddhism.
one thing i love is the emphasis on "killing" the ego (or whatever you might want to call what buddhists try to do with their egos!).

I think the lack of dogmatism is a reflection of staying on the Middle Path. We've all seen enough of the craziness that comes from having extreme and intolerable viewpoints.
