The relationship between religion, education, and political party - help!
by somebodylovesme ini am drawing from the collected wisdom of this board, which has never let me down before!
i'm doing some research for a school project and was wondering if anyone had any sources (academic, news, articles, anything "legit") discussing the relationship between a person's religion, education, and political party -- or any combination of those.
i do have the list ranking each religion's percentage of college-educated members, but i'm having a hard time finding anything linking these to political party.

Spiritual Paradise
by seattleniceguy init was funny, just now i was thinking about that term witnesses always use, "spiritual paradise.
" and i thought, things are more paradisaic for me now than they ever have been.
and for an instant, i thought back to how i imagined paradise would be, meeting people from all over the world, creating real friendships based on respect and honesty, and i realized, that's exactly what we have here in the real world!.

Draw close to Jehovah.
by got my forty homey? inmy parents sent me this book in the mail, i actually was hoping it would be some valiums or vicodans but it was a society book called "draw close to jehovah".
with a heart wrentching letter from my mother to return to the "truth".. i have read a few pages of this book, started from the begining, and i haven't read no society pulications for at least over 10 years.
i have found no new information in this book except for a few personal viewpoints, like the mentioning of jehovah having been alive for billions of years.

How much do they charge for mags now? Or do they charge at all?
by somebodylovesme inthis is partially in reference to the post on what you said when you were at the door.
it's been a few years since my hubby's been out on service, so i'm wondering - do dubs still ask for a donation for the magazines?
we haven't had around, but i know a friend of mine said that some dubs slipped some under her apartment door a few weeks ago (while she was hiding inside, lol) and they never came back.

Religious Groups Get Chunk of AIDS Money
by sf inhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060129/ap_on_he_me/aids_prevention
by rita beamish 1 hour, 54 minutes ago
president bush's $15 billion effort to fight aids has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.. award recipients include a christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist billy graham, according to the state department.. the outreach to nontraditional aids players comes in the midst of a debate over how best to prevent the spread of hiv, the virus that causes aids.

Attention Hairdressers! Got a question for ya.

some way to "quantify" the length the hair should be on the top, sides, back, etc?.

Did you know there's a "personals" website for Witnesses to meet people?
by somebodylovesme inhttp://www.jw-connect.com/index.php?page=index
just thought that was interesting... they also have their own "search" page: http://www.witnessesonline.com/ with lots of fun (but no exciting) links.
for a group of people who aren't supposed to use the internet too much, there are an awful lot of personal web sites!.
