  Hands up those who don't give a rats arse about religion / spirituality.

  is it just me, or there others who have no room for religion in their lives?.

  i appreciate that others are entitled to their beliefs and opinions concerning such beliefs, but i am amazed at the number of posters, who, after years of being oppressed and mislead by religion, still manage to garner some sense from the whole notion of god / religion / spirituality.. cheeses the cynic.

  Surreptitious!! It's good to see you around here again! I've missed your wit.

  Sorry about the dishwasher, Mulan. I'm spoiled with mine, too. Prune hands are the worst.

  Would you take blood now that you are not a JW and why?

  i have a friend, xjw, who is having medical problems and no matter what i seem to say to her, i can tell she has not gotten over the issue of <gasp> no blood.

  since the no blood stand was so ingrained in us as jws (almost like the unforgivable sin) my friend just cant seem to let go of that thinking.

  i know i get too clinical at times, so i need some help with reasons why taking blood is or is not an issue for you anymore.

  as far as i'm concerned, the united states is in north america, just like canada and mexico.

  so why do americans think "america" means only the us?

  so often i hear americans talk about the us as "america".. .

  sorry, Xena . I just didn't want anyone thinking that I, as a United-States-of-American, wasn't uncompromisingly proud of my country. We all are, you know. Us Americans, that is.

  JH-

  I feel the US thinks it is the center of the world, or atleast North America

  Aren't we, though? Geographically speaking, of course.

  ((((((((essie))))))))) I'm so sorry. Emotional blackmail is a terrible thing, especially coming from your own family. Hugs to you, and it's good to have you back.
