SC and waiting, I can't for the life of me get a handle on what the Mormons actually believe. Two very handsome young Mormons stopped by one afternoon[I thought this must be my lucky day]and left me a copy of their Book of Mormon. With all the talk of metal plates in a stone box, Moroni, stones in silver bows-I don't thinks so.
I have been doing some research on the history of the English Bible and found a very helpful site:
www.bibles.net if any of you are interested. It contains every available translation except for ours of course.

Best Comedy for Dysfunctional Persons!
by waiting instuart little saves his family in fact, it's on right now - but i've seen it at least half dozen times - it's great.. this movie laughingly goes into really serious sh*t. and it handles it well.
a great movie to appreciate how most families are - to one degree or another.
now to a beer, pizza, and stuart........

waiting-I've never seen Stuart but if you say it's
great then I'll have to give it a look. I'm watchiing Interview With A Vampire on HBO-and enjoying it. A little on the gruesome side but it
has the Trinity in it[Brad Pitt, Antonio Bandaras,
Tom Cruise]-pass the popcorn. -

Can we get to know each other now?
by waiting ini've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.
well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.
makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.

To Mr. Displaced Swamp Man: They say the last thing to go is your taste for the food, so I guess there's still hope for you. ;)

Redhorsewoman-In some ways I feel as if I am on a singular path "within" the boundaries of my religion. You know, that "on the outside looking in" feeling. Wasn't it James Taylor who sang: With
a holy host of others all around me; still I'm on the darkside of the moon?7of9

Jokemyster-How are you? Glad we've made your mission so easy. Reasons why I stay:1.Family. One meeting per week is a small price to pay for the pleasure of my family's company. 2.Jehovah. I still love him with all my heart and mind. 3.I am no way ready to make such a move. 4.Reform. Reform
is inevitable-no more shunning, transfusions okay-yeah, maybe when pigs fly but there's also hope. 5.Half-truth. I feel there is some truth to what we believe which is a lot more than most have.
That about sums it up.6 There are 2 young sisters and 1 brother from my cong. graduating from high school in about 2hrs. All will attend college. I
helped them with their essays, loan aps, and SAT's. They asked me to attend the ceremony. I think what I'm getting at is if I can help anyone
break the cycle then it's worth my staying. You see I'm still capable of using my brain. -

Build "Club Dub" and they will come!
By the way, try CajunZydeco.Net if you are inclined to do any dancing in front of the mirror until the "Club" opens.

What women don't like and what men don't like!
by spectromize inwomen don't like,.
#1 unclipped hair protuding out of your nose and ears.. #2 showing up at the restaurant without reservations.. #3 using her money to buy a gift.. #4 asking her daughter out if it doesn't work out.. #5 watching the football game while she says:"we have to talk!".
#6 being a couch potato on your days off.. #7 never, never say she's fat even if she is.

To the French Knight-Thou rocks my world!! Once
again you have found the appropriate words to make
my evening pass peacefully rather than in dispair.
There are times when we should be thankful that the past is just that-the past. Now I move on with
the realization that I am better off for having survived to love another day.
