  pledge of allegiance ruled unconstitutional.

  june 26, 2002 posted: 3:04 pm edt (1904 gmt) .

  san francisco, california (ap) -- for the first time ever, a federal appeals court declared the pledge of allegiance unconstitutional wednesday because of the words "under god" added by congress in 1954. .

  Actually, I found the idea that the words "Under God" should never have been in the Pledge to begin with, especially in a nation that said they seperated Church from State. I have really for years never figured why they were in there at all. That is, that the US is suppose to be a country of Religious freedoms (although not always been that way), so the idea that Athesits, agnostics and pagans are getting the Almighty YHWH shoved down their throuts has always turned my stomach.

  OH and yes, plmkrzy, it was not the entire pledge, just the words "under God".

  I guess just my 2 cents worth.

  Hey folks,
  I consider myself a Pagan, I never really have followed a path, I would think I would be an agnostic pagan. I reciently read the description of a Pantheist and pretty much found that is the basic ideal of what I beleive. So I guess I beleive in pantheism with witchcraft thrown in LOL. I studied Wicca for a while, But I dunno, it didn;t quite fit with me to be considered part of a group with rules and doctrines (what few any of them have), So for a long time I drifted calling myself an ecclectic neo-pagan. Which is more or less what I still am, except when I call my self pantheist people have no idea what I am talking about LOL.

  Sounds good Obie, except it won't let me sign up, in fact if you live on any of the Pacific Islands, out side of the Hawaiian, you can not sigh up. So I guess until then it really isn't an international meet up.

  Does anyone grow their own herbs?

  by scootergirl in

  i am looking for some help regarding harvesting herbs (yes......real herbs!)..

  i know w/basil, it must be blanched for 1-2 seconds and then dried before it can be frozen.

  oregano, i believe has to be dried.

  scootergirl,

  The basil was the only one I started from seed. The cuban Oregano, I had a friend that had a plant and he gave me a few clippings, it is a very hearty plant, and actually has no resemblence to actual oregano, but the flavor is simular to the oreganos.

  I think however you can start basil from a cutting as I have seen when it lays on the ground it will start to root where it is touching the ground. I am not sure how well it will produce by cloning though.

  Thanks scooter and eyegirl,

  I knew he had moved out to the east coast, when he left he wanted me and another employee to take over his electrical business, but it never really worked out. I think his oldest son's name was billy that rings a bell anyway.

  Anyone familiar with the goings on in the Hutchinson Congregation of late? I was wondering about a few people tha I have not heard hide-nor-hair of in a couple of decades. A couple of old friends of mine like Gene and Linda Wedenroth (I heard they got divorced), Hmmmm a few others but I can't remember their names LOL (old age I guess is setting in LOL),

  Let me know if ya know anything

  Thanks

  Hey all,

  I used to go to the Hutchinson congregation for many years, I actually helped start the Litchfield Congregation (south of Redwood Falls) in it infancy. PLH, the family you mentioned I do not remember them at all and I was there for about 8 years in the 70's and a little of the 80's (the 80's were my drifting period). Does anyone in the St Cloud area know the Lonnie Randall family?? I used to work for him and wondered what ever happened to him.

  Seedy

  P.S. I wish I was going to the US this year I would love to go to the apostofest in MN, But maybe I'll hold one next year whe I visit my Daughter in Minneapolis, if she is game LOL.

  I've been gone for about 25 years, but I do remember that in actuallity the placement of literature was always on contribution, I mean that is what we told people, "I would like to leave this Watchtower magazine along with it's companion the Awake for a contribution of 10 cents" (OH WOW I just gave away my age LOL)

  But to me as soon as I heard about it, it sounded like a tax scam.

  no disfellowship for inactive?

  by jaccilynn in

  my mother was having a moment while she went to visit a friend a few weeks ago, worrying about me being disfellowshiped and having our relationship change.

  the sister told my mom, that i could not be disfellowshiped because i am not an active memeber of the congregation.

  supposedly, her daughter was a full time pioneer, stopped attending meetings, and realized that she is a lesbian.

  I was DF'd about 5 years, If I can remember, after I quit attending meetings and such. Now in my situation, I had left my, now ex, wife and then was getting remarried, I had moved 300 miles away from the congregation, I had no contact with any JW's in any way for over 2 years, outside of my now ex-wife, was not known as a JW by anyone that knew me, nor had I expressed that I even used to be one, except to my new bride and her family. Butttt I got DF'd anyway.
