isn’t seriousness of the ego and joyfulness of egolessness?
isn’t true religion all about a celebration of life?

today's daily text demonstrate this reasoning (bold mine):.

Apparently, ISIS fighters have been caught fleeing Mosul dressed as women ...
by LoveUniHateExams ini suppose this is one of those pieces of news that could have been posted in the entertainment section.. yes, isis fighters have been caught by the iraqi army trying to flee mosul dressed as women.. some have been caught wearing the full face veil.
a sensible choice, as it hides those masculine cheekbones, heavy jaw or five o' clock shadow.
others have been more creative, dressing like prostitutes in a shakespeare play.

Commuter Bethelites: Now At Warwick!
by HiddlesWife ini just recently read the thread on this subject started by blueblades entitled "commuter bethelites" approximately 15 years ago.
although the program had ended in brooklyn, wallkill, etc., in around 2002, i noticed that the borg has commuters (sisters, particularly) holding this privilege of service at warwick!.
in a few previous postings which i told about my going on a recent bus trip to there, there were many single sisters used in that capacity as tour guides, cleaning the visitors' lobby and even directing traffic (two sisters had walkie-talkies, communicating to no doubt a central office, informing bus operators when to go and when to stop, when to let off their passengers, etc.).
