Interesting that JS Jr’s polygamy wasn’t well known when it was the thing that led to the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor, Smith’s arrest and death. What’s the party line wrt his death if his polygamy was being hushed up by some?

“On this day in 1945, the Allies won the Second World War in Europe. After twelve years of fascist dictatorship and six years of genocidal war, Nazi Germany was defeated. “Adolf Hitler had killed himself on 30 April, when Berlin was falling to the Soviets, so it was left to a rump government to formally surrender to the Allied powers on 8 May 1945. “Since 1942-3, the Nazi empire had b

I loved Fred Rogers, too. And his show was filmed in Pitt, where I was born. For some reason that was a point of pride. I was terrified of Lady Elaine, but I loved the cat and the tiger.

Oh, and EB, the concept of love, at least romantic love, totally eludes me. My love for my child is huge. After I gave birth I thought, “So THIS is what love is!” Could have been the oxytocin, but that fierce desire to ensure this little person is safe, happy and protected has not diminished after 35 years. But romantic love? Not a clue. Loving myself? Clueless there as well.

Sooooo… A couple of weeks ago, my mother said she wanted to reconcile. The abused and neglected child that still exists in me wants to, too. That will always be something part of me wants. I think the desire to have a relationship with a parent is a lizard-brain thing and while rational in an evolutionary/survival sense, it isn’t healthy psychologically and emotionally if an effort isn

Abe Lincoln had a very large head. On his head, he wore a very large stovepipe top hat. Some said his hat was so big, you could fit all the rabbits in Australia in it and make them disappear. Being an honest fellow, Abe put the kibosh on this rumor and stated that while his head was indeed quite large, he had only been able to put four score and seven rabbits in his hat, and while they did in

Oh! So you, a Christian of some type with certain beliefs and traditions, are mocking another religion’s beliefs and traditions because you happen to have the inside track on the one true religion? How nutty.

I hear you. I got in trouble (read: beaten by my mom) for questioning fundamentalist Christianity. The public (open classroom) and Friends schools I attended encouraged curiosity and the acquisition of knowledge in our own ways, mostly self-paced. I spent 10th-12th grades in an all-girls parochial school. The latitude we were allowed re: questioning varied by subject matter. I didn’t push b

Always hated that verse because of how it’s used. BUT within context, it doesn’t mean ignore the poor. Neither does it let xtians off the hook. Matthew 26 Jesus was about to be arrested, and a woman came and poured an expensive ointment on his head. The disciples chastised the woman saying she was wasting it and it could have been sold and the money given to the poor. Jesus defended
