Holy sh*t on a cracker.  People need to squirt the sand out their poonannies about things up in here. 

But at least we're all on the same page about the Kindle. It's a nice idea, but nothing is as good as reading a nice fat book. Unless you aren't on the same page about the Kindle. In which case you're wrong, and baby Jesus hates you.

Meaghan, I'm a United Methodist, and we (my own congregation in particular) are huge in inclusion of all ages, races, sexual preferences, economic statuses, etc. I've personally done a lot of volunteer work for the United Methodist Committee on Relief. Much of it was in the Gulf Coast after Katrina, and I was stunned by the actions of other relief groups. One well-financed and supplied mission group would not let our teams use their equipment because our church's inclusive policies. I cannot stand groups that prefer to force their beliefs on people at the expense of doing good.

I guess what I should have said is that I don't donate to groups that I know exclude, religious or not. It's just that the two often go hand in hand, to varying extents.

I'm taking the easy, cop out road right now and flaming thefuck out of jessjo. I never once commented on your stupid, crazy trainwreck of bad decisions. Not once. I could have, wanted to actually, but didn't out of common courtesy.

I did question the almighty moose's logic (ZOMG!) when she pondered aloud her responsibility in your horribly bad string of decisions that have caused all your problems, and reassured her that in no way, shape or form was your BSC mess her fault. And it isn't. I still stand by that.

So don't go attacking me and telling me "politely" to leave you alone. I've left you alone. I could have posted several hundreds of opinions of your crap, but never did. I would have reassured moose that anyone's problems are not her fault. Don't go thinking you are special, and don't go telling me to leave you alone when I have. That's going to persuade me to in fact NOT leave you alone, FYI.

And stop applying your skewed nonsense to Rach's situation. She's smart and knows what she's doing. That's like kryptonite to your fuckedup logic.

Really? Just because someone does not believe in the Global Warming bullsh!it does not mean they are stupid and that they can't hold a Masters degree( I don't recall many programs teaching meteorlogical info) That is a pretty harsh and judgemental statement. Some of us choose to not believe all the crap the left wing media/Democrats throws out there.

For the record, I know Democrats that don't believe in global warming, and Republicans that do. 

Also, I am extra-tingly for Bec today.  I would like to add to her posting above, that JessJo is a Lifetime "movie" waiting to happen.  And not one of the good, Valerie Bertnelli ones.  One of the ones with that chick from that show Kirk Cameron was in before he was all "ZOMG JEEEEEEEEESUS!"  And when it does happen, I will be laughing my ass off at how stupid she was not to see that sh*t coming, just like I do at whats-her-face in her "movies".

I thought moose said in that thread that she was talking about someone from another board. Though, jessjo did announce she pm'd moose directly before moose posting that.

I honestly think though that if you bittch and complain about your personal life or relationship for that long and eschew all the advice that is ever given to you, you forfeit any right to say it cant be discussed or used against you.

For those who want Kindles.  I bought mine in June and I'm hooked. It's unbelievable IMO.  The closest book store for me is about 20 minutes so I like being able to get books instantly.  Usually they are a little cheaper than print books.  Some are free.  It also remembers where you are in the book and you can add notes and other bookmarks.

All the jessjo posts are adding to her delusions about being victimized.  None of this is sinking in.

Also, none of Valerie Bertinelli's Lifetime Movies are the good ones.

I'm perfectly OK with having a conversation about global warming. It's not really a political issue for me. I've spent the last 10 years researching and compiling data on global environmental trends, so for me it's a bit frustrating when something as complex as global climate models gets boiled down to an accusation of a "hoax."

Having legitimate concerns about a scientific process is fine. Accusing this of being "made up" is a ridiculous and uneducated statement IMO.

I discuss the ins and outs of this all of the time in a civilized way with my republican friends, including my FIL who is a petroleum engineer and is exposed to different information than I am because of his background. But we don't throw around words like bullshiit or accuse each other of making people feel guilty for taking 20 minute showers.

opalsky007

Meg, there's United Methodist (when people just say Methodist, they usually mean UM) and African Methodist Episcopal (AME).

I haven't heard about those issues specifically. The leadership in the church does tend to be much more conservative that the general membership. This is, for example, why the church still does not ordain openly gay clergy--we're fighting that hard. My congregation's program director is a seminary graduate but can't be ordained because she's a lesbian.

As an organization, the church is far from perfect, but we're working on it.

Posted by MeaghanandMichael[/QUOTE]

Hope you don't mind if I answer, but in my experience, it seems to not be a problem in the United Methodist church.  I'm fairly new, though.  I still consider myself Episcopalian, but my husband grew up Baptist and together we attend a United Methodist church.  From what I can tell, leadership rotates (as in, ministers get assigned to different congregations after serving a few years), and there are a lot of women in leadership roles.  Then again, my congregation is fairly progressive, and that may be a reflection of our Diocese (and I'm in western NC, so that says a lot).

I've never said one word about Jessjo, but I did remark to moose that she shouldn't feel any responsibility for any internet poster's problems the other night. I then got  this "what have I ever done to you? Please leave me alone!!!" PM from jessjo, so I deduce that she was angry I told moose to stop listening to crazies.

It's like one of those geometric proofs. If this equals this, and that is a result of this, then that equals this. Get it? Jessjo = BSC any way you look at it.
