  Feminism? No way

  by StopTheTears in

  my mother was a hippy who kept a pile of erica jong and germaine greer books beside her bed.

  (like every other avowed feminist in those days).

  needless to say, she didn't feel the need to do the cleaning and we lived in an unkempt home.

  i've lurked on this forum since about the end of '10.

  my first "apostate experience" began @ age 14. first a little backround.. i was baptised at 10, and did so mostly out of:.

  ) pressure from my mom to get baptised so that i would be safe from armaggedon(she was probably pressured from elders),.

  2. beliefs

  i wrote this in december last year.

  i won't be writing much more, but i do think this topic needs some debate.. it never received any when posted.

  Farkel, who can debate this? If you want debates, you need to spend a little less time developing humorous and well reasoned arguments. Stop already with the logic.

  I wish you posted more. (sigh)

  i'm left to assume that sister jackson has concluded that michael will not be resurrected.

  .. the matriarch of one of music's most famous families isn't planning any special preparations for the daily trek to a downtown los angeles courtroom where the trial begins may 9, but she says she'll rely on her faith to carry her through.. .
