bro derek carter has caused something of a stir by marrying a 30yr old pioneer sister that is at least half his age.
if you ever saw bro carter you would notice a strong resemblance to 'uncle fester' of the adams family.
LB,
But with a 30 year age difference.... she'll get there sooner than most won't she?Yes, she just might. There is a lot an older man can give to a younger woman. He has the wisdom of a lifetime of experience. She has the opportunity to become a treasure to him in a way his first wife could not, she can become a treasure of "youth"!
Some older husbands respond to this by being the most loving husband there ever was!

Lisa,
Do you know this sister personally? You speak as if you do, just wondering. Thanks.

I hope the D.O. and his new wife have many happy years together doing what they apparently both love to do. There are good things to a May/December union and I wish them all the best!!!

sixty minutes covered this story a month ago and meet the press brought it up again this morning when rumsfeld was interviewed.... when stationing troops in foreign countries, the u.s. military tries to abide by the rules of the country.
in saudi arabia, the custom for women in public is that they wear an abaya, a floor-length, long-sleeve, loose-fitting garment that covers everything but the face.
air force lt. col. martha mcsally filed a lawsuit against the pentagon, arguing that the policy was discriminatory because men are not required to dress in traditional muslim garments.. when interviewed on sixty minutes, mcsally was so offended by the garment that she would not put it on just to demonstrate what it looked like.
Teejay,
You said that McSally, was an Airforce Lt.Col., as such she likely has had to command male subordinates, some of which may bristle at having a woman as a superior officer. I understand why she would find it impossible to don an outfit which would subordinate HER in front of all males! She has her rank, and it needs to be respected.

my wife and i are back in school again and we are in a philosophy class and the issue of god has come up in the research material and the following is under consideration for us- .
being involved in trying to explain the reason that god permits wickness i find the explanation that i use to use from the platform as a jw to be very weak to say the least .
yet i find that it is the same basic explantion given by most "beleivers" and it too is weak as tea.
Hi JT,
Thanks for introducing this subject. Personally I don't believe the words God or Almighty accurately describe our maker, at this time. He is our Father but has not acted as God or Almighty yet.
It's like a gardener who after allowing all the seedlings to grow close together for a time, he comes in with his spade and culls. His first role was as a planter his second is as a remover. It is the same with the Father, he is acting as Father now but will act as God the Almighty later.
As for evil spirits, it would seem reasonable to think that their Father at some point acted as God towards them and removed them early on.
Just my thoughts.

Concerned Mama,
He is more open minded and extremely questioning of many things, including, his parents, religion, and why things are the way they are. He very definately makes his own decisions, but is able to reason and explain what they are based on.You have just described my son who will be fifteen in April. Kids mature at different rates.
Should he be disallowed the right of self determination because of his age alone?

just last week president bush announced, "my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending.
Mindchild,
As the American government is moving more and more to restrict and control people (new national ID cards, more security, the police state) it will be too late soon to do mass protests to change the course of governmental action...as if there were any motivation to do so anyway. Personally, I think America is screwed and we are rapidly heading into another repeating cycle of history named "the Great Crisis" cycle in which very troubling times happen. Major wars, like the Civil War were born out of conditions like these. Stay tuned for more exciting stories to read when the shit hits the fan then.
In 1798, under John Adams' Administration the "Alien and Sedition Acts" were passed by Congress. Adams was politically injured as a result. President Bush will suffer the same fate if his policies produce similar kinds of restraints on the American system.
