The 4th of July is treated as any other day. My parents never went to any BBQ's or even watched the fireworks.
Im not sure all Witness famillies were this strict but mine were.

I think you are right on that..
I was about to ask if the rabbit was smelling like incense
Spice_it_up and MrMoe: It's all good, no?
It also helps when you know the person offline as well.

Is there such a thing as ABSOLUTE good, ABSOLUTE evil, ABSOLUTE anything?
Those that believe in god may pose that he/she is absolute good and that the devil is absolute bad.
I tend to disagree with such statments that don't allow for any flexible thinking. I think that with every life there is a balance of their goodness and evilness (for lack of a better word). This is also one of the reason I have studied Eastern religions as they focus on a balance (harmony if you will) within...the Yin and the Yang. I feel that as a person we are able to focus on what part we wish to have the most control. Those that have focused on their light within..well we then get people like Ghandi and Mother Teresa. Those that focus on their dark side...examples of Charles Manson & Jack the Ripper. I also firmly believe that Ghandi wasn't pure goodness and that Manson wasn't pure evil. They merely let those aspects of their personality take over.
It has been said (lol..sorry had to use that) that there is absolutley no absolutes. Figure out that one.

Why is 'women bashing' allowed on this board?
by wholewheat inthere is a poster on this board with the moniker 'd8ta' that has called a female poster a 'bitch' and another female poster a 'whore' and yet you men let him get away with it.
this is disgusting!
is this what leaving jehovah does to people?
-
-
SpiceItUp
Hmmmm...
I think I will have to agree with Xena. I am a woman and I have never been offended by D8ta. In fact I would say the opposite comes to mind.
(((((D8ta))))) you sure know how to make the women here feel special. Thanks!

I agree that is has gotten a bit intense in here and we need a good bit of the ol fluffies.
So I'll play....
One of the nicest things I can think of right now is someone starting a happy thread to counter balance the negative ones.
