So if you can't fly the American flag, can we compromise?

at home with the riverboat aristocrats .

sunday, august 14, 2005 .

by all outward appearances, some of the more patriotic, god-fearing americans in town live at the foot of southeast harney street, on the right side of the (railroad) tracks and the "no trespassing" signs.

There is considerable case law, she said, to contest covenants that discriminate against Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses and people with visible disabilities. The effect of the club's rules are "discriminatory," McGuire said, "even if the intent is not discriminatory."

Not a very welcoming atmosphere for any all-American Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, or folks with disabilities who want to live there.

I guess the JWs in this situation decided to "choose their battles" and not fight the defacto discrimination. With a mother battling Parkinsons, it's an understandable choice, I guess.

Adolescence and Music

by joannadandy in

anyone who was raised by jw's knows music was a big "snare" of the devil.

rock was the soundtrack to destruction, and rap could get you pregnat!

you could groove out to the oldies with your parents, or perhaps you were lucky enough to get your own set of the instrumental kingdom melodies!.

How Do We See Others On A Discussion Board?

by Sunspot in

friends

i have always had one "motto" that i have stuck by for as long as i can recall........to treat others as they have treated me.

on a discussion board we can and do get into things that may get heated at times, but most of us can usually agree to disagree and be done with it, dignity and feelings intact.

some folks have done some "bad" things and have dealt with them or in the process of doing so.
