Get OFF Mother Teresa's back!
by gubberningbody ini get sick to death of people denigrating mother teresa, saying that she was selfish and petty-minded.. i am especially fed up with those who say that her saintliness was purely an illusion created by her possessing minimal consciousness, like that of a small child or dog, and as such was further away from god than the average criminal.. i find this sort of talk utterly repulsive.
it is simply not right to say such horrible things about someone who was so sweet and gentle and who dedicated her whole life to helping others.. .
there!.

I was just asked to perform a civil union.....
by AK - Jeff ini did a few jw weddings - quite a few in fact, though the number escapes me nowadays.. this one will be a 'civil union' - not a legal wedding.
one of the persons getting 'unioned' has a pending divorce, one that they believed would be finalized by now and isn't.
so, they want to have the ceremony, say vows, and then later go to a judge and have a quick legal ceremony.. they want a somewhat 'christian' ceremony.
