No Nomad I don't want to argue at all. I guess I am just a little disapppointed that xtianity would give me up so easily.
I do have to admit sometimes I feel unwanted by middle of the roadies.........reminds me of that line in that new teen movie about the girl who finds her father in London(dont know the movie--just the commercial) where the boy tells her 'why do you try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?'

tell us where the best place for a couple of yanks (who would rather forget that we are yanks) to live might be.
we are both pagan.

my jw husband's jw parents in florida (the ones who shunned him for years when he was disfellowshipped) were recently raving about their new ceragem massage bed.
the actually purchased one for their home for around $2,000.
they say many members of their congregation use these beds at a ceragem location there in ft. lauderdale.
send in a Question From Readers detailing all of it, send a copy to the Circuit and District Overseers for their area.

here in wisconsin, around 6months ago we had a terrible crash on one of our freeways because of fog and driveing to fast for conditions.there were many casualities, anyway many persons who loved ones died in that crash have memorials at the sight such as crosses ,flowers ,etc.well it seems the county were this happened wrote letters to all persons leaving memorials to stop ,their saying it is a road hazard and a distraction to drivers.well now we hear it is non religious people are complaining , saying it is offense to them to have to drive by these shrines.
i feel if they dont like it they should close their eyes.
lol what do you think.
***I think that those who take the time to actually organize a complaint about their rights being violated because of a memorial of sorts on the side of a road have far too much frigging time on their hands.***
I actually agree Freedom--I think they should have used the same energies to try to get a road sign or traffic light in memoriam to prevent another tragedy!

Robin, SS, Liberty and James T:
so what, if anything, do you call yourselves? (I do not want to appear hung up on labels, but it helps me define myself and gives me something to answer to when I am questioned by others.....)

***You are correct about Shekinah. They have even unearthed ruins of her temples in Israel. Perhaps you saw this documented on the History Channel? To many Xtians, the Holy Spirit is feminine. I address her as such.***
Dear Robdar,
I have heard some about that--did not see the show--wish I did. But I got my info from Barbara Walker, primarily her Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets.
thanks everyone so far! Most of your responses reflect more or less how I feel about it too. So what about some actual xtian responses? yoooohooooo anyone out there?

dang Sadie! guess I am not the only one with issues huh? I did admit that BTW.
I still don't think it is appropriate outside of the cemetery. What if the accident happened in your yard? Would you allow people to put teddy bears and plastic flowers and crosses in your yard indefinitely, to be ruined by the weather and generally deteriorate with time, to express their grief? Geesh. I also said that I thought it was a regional thing---and there is just no way you can tell me that the South where I live is not fundy to the core and uses such situations to exploit and promote their own agendas---I live here and I see it every second of every day!
and another thing(I am saying all of this with a smirk on my face--I am not angry).... I also suggested a road sign to memorialize the victims of such accidents in a more constructive, permanent way--didn't I?
gosh Sadie have some of my chocolate!
