I meant small in comparison to the States. With a country this size, it's normal to have varied accents, but I guess I thought with so much less square mileage, Britain wouldn't be so divided.

I'm amazed at how a small area such as Britain can have so many dialects\accents. I'm in the U.S., and I can't tell individual state accents unless it's very pronounced. You're saying that just by listening to somebody speak, you can tell if they grew up within ten miles or one hundred miles of...

What a fascinating story! I'd line up if she were to ever come near my town (highly doubtful, tho). It's funny, isn't it, the profound impact something so seemingly trivial can have? So many people are starved for affection and love, it's really not that surprising how her popularity has grown...

I've never heard the term "hen's night" - must be a British-ism, over here we call 'em bachelorette parties. Ha, ha! :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I totally agree with everything you said. :D:D:D

I'm reading this book right now called "The Way We Pray" which breaks down prayer practices from all over the world. It also gives little tips after the summary of each practice for incorporating that practice into your prayer life. I've been looking at prayer differently lately, learning more...

Sorry, I've never been to Europe (tho I'd love to go); not sure what the currency o' the day is . . . :)

Whatever. I can't talk to you anymore, Mee. Consider me yet another person driven away by the Watchtower. And btw, I think Blazn was objecting to your rudeness, not just what you were saying.

Greetings, Nevermore. I agree with most of the posts on here, but I must add my two cents. (wait, you're in England, right? So that would be two pounds, or pence, or quid, or Euros . . anyways :)) I was thinking about your post last night. I, too, have this inexplicable need to somehow label...

Interesting. I completely agree that, at least with some things, there is no rhyme or reason. If there is such a thing as destiny, it does not apply to every area of life, at least not every situation. Like I said, the concept of destiny is more a romantic indulgence on my part than a steadfast...

Thank you!!! I find it interesting that Mee is even on this site, since he seems so convinced of his own inerrancy. While I claim to be Christian, I never once claimed that one particular church or branch of Christianity had it all right. Where is the humility that Jesus embodied? I know you...

I agree that it is far more beneficial to focus on the similarities rather than the differences. I read on a website about a "peace mala" that was designed to encourage peace among the faiths; it's a type of bead bracelet for sale in the UK. It says that every major religion and most...

Mee was using my original post when he called the Trinity "idiotic" (I said the idea that to be a Christian you can't think for yourself is idiotic); he just went waaaaaaay overboard. The overwhelming majority of Christians believe in the Trinity. It was my understanding that this site was not...

Wow, so you came out of all of this an atheist? You don't think there's any spiritual realm, anything other than ourselves? I understand if you're bitter after coming out of a hypocritical religion, I'm right there with you, but you really believe the world is too cruel to believe in a Creator...

:) Aww, thanks! :) I don't know much about Seventh-Day Adventists, except they go to church on Saturday instead of Sunday! Are they the ones where the women can't wear pants and can't cut their hair or wear make-up? Or where they don't celebrate any holidays? (Maybe I'm thinking of JW's)...

Cool! That's a good word. I also enjoy "Shalom "as a greeting. Maybe that will be my new tag line. . . . . .

Aww, thanks! Feeling kinda stupid here: what does Namaste mean? :confused:

My apologies, I'm not meaning to be disingenuous. I still have very passionate opinions about things, that will never change! :) If you're referring to my posts on the Christian side if this site, I'm not meaning to be hypocritical. When I see someone like myself, who for so many years accepted...

To answer China Cat Sunflower, I was raised mainly Southern Baptist, then became very involved in the non-denominational Christian church. I taught Sunday school, led Bible studies, chaperoned mission trips, cooked church dinners - you name it (and I'm only 26)! I found that church involvement...

Wow, so you're saying all the good ideas have already been thought up, and our minds are only meant to memorize Bible verses? I'm sorry, but there are many, many, MANY good things "our own thoughts" can do; who told you that to be a Christian you can't think for yourself?! This is why I hate the...
