I didn't read all of the other comments yet, but would she be open to reading "Crisis of Conscience"? That was a real eye opener for me.

Is it better to stay married one time or have been married couple of times?

I think it depends on the kind of marriage you have. If you are truly in love with your mate, stay married. If you don't get along and it's stressful to be in that relationship, move on. Life is to short to be in a miserable relationship.

Welcome, heybaby...
Jesus said that you will recognize his people by the love they have amongst themselves...that scripture was probably the one that awakened me the most.
I experienced the same thing when my husband was made an MS. It was a short-lived experience fortunately!

Several times, while living in California, I would see a table set up at an outdoors mall with all of the literature sitting there. Usually, two sisters would be sitting there. I never saw them approach anyone, they just sat there in case someone wanted to "get saved". I thought that was a pretty easy way to get your time in.

Have you read the Revelation Climax book lately? ;) A man who sees in the convention of an obscure Adventist offshoot held in Cedar Point Ohio nothing less than the fulfillment of Gawd-inspired Bible prophecy is "that far gone" and then some. lol
My thoughts exactly. As a believing dub I always found this to be really stretching things. I would look around the book study and wonder how all of these seemingly intelligent people could be swallowing the bs.

I was thinking about this the other day. My MIL is a pioneer and pretty much lives on a fixed income. I wonder how long it will be before she has to quit pioneering. I would imagine quite a few pioneers will drop out before too long if gas keeps going up. Most pioneers barely survive as it is on a part time job. Not to mention that groceries have sky-rocketed, at least in my area. My husband and I have good jobs and even we are feeling it.

The Republican Party Frustrates me!
by free2beme inbeing a former witness, when i first left the religion, i thought it would be a good idea to stick with a party that was fairly conservative in their stand.
although, in many ways i did not agree with them, i liked the republicans more then the democrats.
so i registered republican.

There is a Libertarian party in this country and they do have a candidate for President.
I actually watched the Libertarian debates and was quite impressed with several of the candidates. I liked Bob Barr okay, not crazy about Root...wish he had picked the woman (can't remember her name). Everyone says that a libertarian doesn't have a chance in hell of winning, but really wish the American people would open up to the idea.

So, most of the time I lean toward being a libertarian.
I'm with you...If the election were held today, I would have to vote for the libertarian candidate. I relate most closely to their ideals.

Right. You wouldn't want to take the car into the city. But...!! There are trains and other transportation to use and I think you would really enjoy it. Talk to someone at your hotel and find a simple City destination - a museum, a store, the NY Public Library, a park. It's really a fun city and so much to see. It would be a shame if you didn't at least go for a few hours.
That's a great idea. I have been to the city a couple of times before and had a blast.

is NYC too far away?
Probably so...I will have a rental car to use, I think, but not sure I want to venture into NYC by myself. I'm a big girl but driving in major traffic when I am unfamiliar with the place un-nerves me a bit.
