I've read one of Rhodes' books. He is better at using his noggin than other writers, but he tends to follow traditional views, despite leaps in logic and common sense *shrug*
Interesting read though:
"The Complete Book of Bible Answers"
ISBN:1-56865-661-0

mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month or what we know today as the honeymoon.. tr

I wonder if Anthony would be shocked to find out that his "mother church" teaches one class of Catholic one thing, and another class a totally different story (they don't have to do what the pope says!)

I really wish that I could find out what an official response from the society is to an honest elder with inquiries such as the one you've brought up here ISP. I wonder if they would get a scriptural reason for the policies, or a scriptural condemnation for questioning headquarters.

TR:
That's why Malcolm X used to call us honkies "white devils".
Just remember, YOU didn't invent our society, so don't beat yourself up over it. One convienence of the USA is the freedom to NOT repeat the mistakes of our slave-owning forefathers (sp?).
Prosperity,

Anthony,
The brain's empty, but the heart is in the right place.
Maybe what you don't know can't hurt you, at least until it comes...

More interesting info for any of you lukers out there. Don't really agree with their ideas re: Jesus Christ (they are forgetting about John's gospel), but interesting ideas nonetheless.
Take a look and see why many folks enjoy giving their loved ones a valentine's gift.

more interesting stuff...
Wedding Rings
It is unknown when wedding rings were first worn. They were probably made of a strong metal, like iron so that it wouldn’t break easily which would have been a very bad omen. The ancient Romans believed that the vein in the third finger ran directly to the heart, so wearing the ring on that finger joined the couples hearts and destiny.
