Ever since I was a child I never really got the hang of this. I hear they're meeting again...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7487805.stm
And no one ever really came up with an explanation of why they refer to themselves as primates eeek:

rubschin:
Good point rubschin:
-
Not only me then. I expect much wringing of hands, furrowed brows and ecumenical mysteries. ::)
Explain this to me; why, when they pray, do they bow their heads and look down to their toes? Strikes me if you've got some almighty being, omniscient and lord above all it might be an idea to look upwards... rubschin: Men or mice?
Still, it keeps them off the streets temporarily confused:

The theory is that one bows one's head as a sign of humility in the presence of He who you worship.
But then you knew that. ::)

And before others join in and the talk turns to "Bearded Pixies in the Sky" etc etc as it has in the past let me make this plain.
I personally have faith. I do believe in God however I have little no time for the trappings of organised religion. I do not wish to argue with anyone who doesn't believe. I can no more prove the existence of God than anyone else can disprove it.

Of course. A decade or more of childhood subjugation is quite thorough when it comes to implanting ideas, but I still enjoy sticking a finger through the perfectly glazed surface of their theological lemon meringue pie ;)
And with regard to...

No problems at all. After a lifetime's wrestling with theological arguments from all sides I find myself most harmonious with the tenets of the Tao.
And that's tenets not tenants Angry9: God, I hate it when people misplace that word... I clearly have a long Way to go...

I feel the same about people who wish to make a "Pacific point" or who wish to "Be Pacific about this ..... " Banghead

I hear on the wireless this morning that the women bishops debate is getting heated.
All this bishop-bashing is getting out of hand, there would be a lot less of it if they allowed women in.
The Synod needs to get a tight grip on its bishops if the church is going to get pulled into the 21st century.

lol:
-
I've just had someone telling me they resent their earlier email ::)
-
Perhaps you do too eveilgrin:

I certainly resent them spelling it like that evil: They should know better; they're older than me eeek:

Are there any? eeek:

My keyboard at work didn't work properly today ....wouldn't let me use any punctuation marks (well the shift key wouldn't do as it was told evil:).

Yet still they understood me rubschin:
Does your keyboard only have one Shift key? And what's the bet that it is misbehaving due to a staple/paper clip being underneath it? whistle:

Mil agrees with me cloud9:
(3) If someone on the nation's once standard-maintaining BBC says 'reticent' when they mean 'reluctant' one more time, I will kill a kitten. Two kittens if it's 'misnomer' when they mean 'misconception'. And if, instead of either 'one of the few' or 'the only', I hear the tautological atrocity 'one of the only' the death-mews will continue until I have no strength left to raise a hammer. (Back)

We had better make it clear that you refer to 'Mil' Millington and not Mother in Law. whistle:

We demand photographic evidence!

We demand photographic evidence!
Perhaps DS is thinking of Mary Millington (not her real name BTW) ~ a "Porn" star who committed suicide.
If so the "We demand photographic evidence" might be deemed to be in poor taste. noooo:
However if you cannot resist the impulse her "Official Fan Site" may be viewed for those who wish.
