i just watched the local bbc news and there was a story about a woman who'd fed her baby while sitting on a public bench.
she finished and was on her way when a police car drew up beside her and asked her to stop.
there had been a complaint.
Ahh well... a boob is a boob.

22 november 2005. jailed for child sex.
a man who used a mobile phone dating site to "groom" a girl of 13 before having sex with her was jailed for a year yesterday.. the high court in glasgow was told duncan mccormick, 24, swapped texts with the fife schoolgirl for nine weeks before persuading her to meet.. the pair had sex in a fife hotel just five days after she turned 14.. jehovah's witness mccormick, a computer science graduate from thornliebank, glasgow, admitted having unlawful sex with the girl.. police were called after the girl's mum became suspicious and she confessed.. mccormick told them he was aware of her age but could not help himself.
I was 18 and they were.... how old? I don't remember.
How old were you Gumby?

hi all, the goods coming from sir's appraisal of the elders school (great job, btw!
) are very upsetting... i know i'm very angry about what the leaders are being told to do, and i can see it in everybody elses comments too.
just thought i'd try an exercise to bring a bit more joy into our lives at this time..... what have you achieved since escaping the cult?
Reading.... lots of reading
Cheebin.
Simply loving, without the constraints and conditions the dubs put on it. Accepting everyone for who they are.

i seem to have been asked a lot lately why i have changed so much since the dallas apostafest.
i agree i have been through some changes lately, quite major ones even.. i am still not completely sure when exactly i changed, whether it was in texas, before the fest, or after the fest, but i am certainly glad my changes show to all you beautiful people.
i guess changing the very foundation of my life itself does have an impact on the exterior .
Oh, and right now, this cup of herbal tea and a cigarette while listening to Black Sabbath is feeling pretty spiritual... heh

Definitely a melting pot. As far as religion goes, I don't reckon all that much to it. The belief systems usually have something I can learn from and accept, but to commit to one religion would mean I am subjecting myself to their beliefs, and since the beliefs usually don't change, I feel it would be a stagnation.
Evolution is improvement. I constantly study and read up on different belief systems.
I like the idea of Pantheism... as it takes in all of the evidence given. It merges science with spirituality. As you said, Albert Einstein, one of yesterday's foremost scientific minds, could still accept there is a God. This is why I believe at some point science and spirituality will merge into a form of Pantheism. As scientific endeavors advance, we will find more about "God" and these forces that pervade the universe, and that they aren't so different after all.
A scientific revolution is in order, and I think it's coming in the not too far off future.

Funny you should ask, Tetra, I didn't mention because I didn't want it to turn into a debate... but...
I no longer consider myself an xtian because I no longer believe that Jesus is the sole mediator between us and "God" (whatever It may be). I now consider Jesus as more of a metaphor, whether he existed or not. Jesus was the epitome of love and acceptance, and THAT is what brings us closer to God, not Jesus the man.
In short, Jesus represented what we should be, not who we should worship.
