[WCGreen]

[MissHoneychurch]

1. church?

[WCGreen]

2. Misshoneychurch

Now that's a handle......

I belong to the church of the shut eye

[MissHoneychurch]

9. don't be fooled by my name

I am everything but religious :)

[WCGreen]

10. I am very spirtual

but not religious.....

At least I was right before you came.....

[MissHoneychurch]

11. me??

what did I do?? :hide:

[WCGreen]

12. A reference to your post....

As far as I know you did nothing.....

I liked your post....

But it seemed personal so I ddn't want to post on it....

[MissHoneychurch]

13. hey you can post in every thread I start

I like the song by ABBA, that is why I posted it.

[WCGreen]

16. I didn't know that wa an Abba song...

I thought it was yours.....

Guilty pleasure, I love dancing Queen....

I met a girl who was 17 on the repid transit here in Cleveland. I was 19. She was gorgeous and I was smitten... And she said she liked to dance....

And Dancing Queen was out at the time....

Two weeks later I discover she is 15....

Opps...... Thank god noting happened

That was a long time ago......

But the song reminds me of her....

[MissHoneychurch]

20. don't we all have our memories to songs?

"The day before you came" was one of their songs in the end phase. Just beautiful.

But my favorite is stilL "Chiquitita"

[WCGreen]

22. I t was really unusual for me to pick up on an ABBA

Song....

But it happens....

Afternoon delight, that crappy song from 1975-76 came out when I was having an affair with an older married woman.....

Every time I would drive up in the landscapping truck, she would come to the door humming afternoon delight....

Ah, those were the days of our youth.....

[MissHoneychurch]

25. uhmmmm ....

1975/76 I was still in diapers :blush:

[WCGreen]

28. Well, I wasn't old.....

About 18 or 19.......

She was in her thirties....

I have always been drawn to women, never much cared for girls after that dancing queen....

Which came after my afternoon delight so I was 18....

[MissHoneychurch]

29. well, women can teach you a lot more

than girls can :evilgrin: and women are conent with themselves.

[WCGreen]

30. And that is why a little history goes a long way.....

See, a church post can take you just about anywhere you want it too...

Halelujah

[MissHoneychurch]

33. LOL

now who's fault is that? :dilemma:

[WCGreen]

34. I do declare Miss Honey

I can't for the life of me put my finger on it...

[MissHoneychurch]

35. as long as you don't blame me

a 100% :P

[WCGreen]

36. Well

Maybe 75% but I refuse to take full responsibilty for my actions after I have been posting all night....

[MissHoneychurch]

41. excuses, just excuses

I blame it on getting up at 8am on a Sunday morning :eyes:

[WCGreen]

43. Germany eh......

Is that 8:00 your time or mine

[MissHoneychurch]

44. my time

that is the horrible thing about it

[WCGreen]

47. And what's so horrible about that

[MissHoneychurch]

48. it is SUNDAY

one of two days were I can sleep in. But no, my stupid body decides to wake up early. And during the week I can't drag myself out of bed. What the heck?

[WCGreen]

50. It's the effects of reverse capitalistic sleep syndrom

better know as RCSS....

So, the only way to fight this awful plague that is destroying the humanity of the western world is to

got me hangin......

I work from home and pretty much do what I want ot do....

[MissHoneychurch]

52. lucky you

but I have to admit that I love my job and my profession.

[WCGreen]

53. Not so lucky....

It's because of an condition....

I have a terrible time breathing....

And I haven't smoked for 22 years....

So, I work from my hermetically sealed office....

What's your profession....

[MissHoneychurch]

54. I'm a librarian

sorry to hear about your condition. That is in fact not so good. Will it get better over the time?

[WCGreen]

55. Nah just stabilized.....

As long as I continue to work out, watch my exposure to germs and keep doing my meds I should live a long and happy life.....

I always wanted to meet a librarian.....

There is something terribly exciting about someone who is in control of all that knowledge...

Not in the bad sense but the good sense of that.....

[MissHoneychurch]

56. now you met one

even though it is only virtually :)

[WCGreen]

57. In this day and age.....

That's probably for the best......

[MissHoneychurch]

58. I am not biting

:)

[WCGreen]

59. That's good cause I don't want to get bit.....

[MissHoneychurch]

60. nibbling?

:evilgrin:

[WCGreen]

61. Now that is a lot better........

I love nibblets and flutter tickles

[MissHoneychurch]

62. I will keep that in mind

[WCGreen]

64. As will i ....

But I have been at this for more hours than I care to think about right now....

So, Misshoneychurch, the librain from the land of Beethoven, the land that gave the Beatles their first big break and also a lot of my ancestors, I bid you goodnight......

I have to get some sleep.....

But let me say this, the pleasure was all mine.......

And I hope we meet again......

[MissHoneychurch]

65. I wish you sweet dreams

I am sure we run over each other here more than once in the future.

[WCGreen]

67. Please don't run me over,,,,,

But you can bowl me over.....

See my post about the water bed....

I was gettin gready to sleep and saw the post and had to do it......

Good night now....

[MissHoneychurch]

69. ok, no running over

good night

[panzerfaust]

78. Thanks for the Cat Lynx

Now in my favorites.

[mcscajun]

71. My question precisely.

I know there are those buildings around town with the funny steeples and such, but I've never been inside one of 'em.

[RC]

3. Why? Doesn't the world have enough problems with the religious already?

We need to get away from Faith Based War and try Fact Based Negotiations.
The religious seem to want to kill everything in their god's creation and let that god sort things out. If they really are made in their gods image what does that say about their god?

[WCGreen]

4. I'm NOT going

I was wonderin who else wasn't either....

I'm gonna go out on a limb here adn guess that includes you...

[Wetzelbill]

7. I'm religious and I don't want to kill anything

except maybe my computer right now, cuz it's pissing me off, but other than that.....

[Wetzelbill]

5. me, I say some prayer on my own, sometimes check my bible, and watch all

the network political shows. Probably do quite a bit of reading too.

[WCGreen]

8. Some times I sneak a peak at mass for shut in.....

But I always turn the channel right after communion.....

[Wetzelbill]

24. C'mon you know your God is Tim Russert, don't hide it

:toast:

[WCGreen]

32. I never touch the stuff brother....

Timmy just doesn't do anything at all for me.....

I'd rather watch the odd squad on Fox than Timmy

[Wetzelbill]

42. really? I avoid those guys like the plague

I watch all the Sunday shows. I'm a glutton for punishment.

The McLaughlin Group is the most entertaining. John McLaughlin is a hoot. For pure entertainment value I like those guys. Tony Blankley drives me nuts though.

[WCGreen]

46. Can't stomach Timmy.....

I go to American Political Journal and read their recap.....

[ikojo]

6. Um....no...I will not be going to church today

or any day.

[SHRED]

14. I am

My place of meditation:
A lake near my house.
This is my "church".

[WCGreen]

17. Cool....

[Wetzelbill]

27. ahhh....relaxation

:thumbsup:

[unhappycamper]

15. Church?

Church, by Lyle Lovett

I went to church last Sunday
So I could sing and pray
But something quite unusual
Happened on that day

Now church it started right on time
Just like it does without a doubt
And everything was all just fine
Except when it came time to let us out

You know the preacher he kept preaching
He told us I have one more thing to say
Children before you think of leaving
You better think about the Judgment Day

Now everyone got nervous
Because everyone was hungry too
And everyone was wondering
What was the next thing he would do

And the preacher he kept preaching
He said now I'll remind you if I may
You all better pay attention
Or I might decide to preach all day

And now everyone was getting so hungry
That the old ones started feeling ill
And the weak ones started passing out
And the young ones they could not sit still

And the preacher's voice rose higher
So I snuck up on the balcony
And I crept into the choir
And I begged them brothers, sisters, help me please

I said when I give you a signal
I said when I raise up my hand
Won't you please join with me together
And praise the Lord I have a plan

And the preacher he kept preaching
Long is the struggle, hard the fight
And I prayed, Father please forgive me
And then I stood up and with all my might
I sang

To the Lord let praises be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
And I listened to what the preacher said
Now it's to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat

Yes and I did give a signal
Yes and I raised up my hands
And then joined with me the choir
Yes every woman, child, and man
They sang

To the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
And I've listened to what the preacher said
Now it's to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat

And the preacher he stopped preaching
And a hush the church did fill
And then a great white dove from up above
Landed on the window sill

And the dove flew down beside him
And a fork appeared right in his hand
And with everybody watching
The preacher ate that bird right there and then

And now everyone got really nervous
And the preacher he did start to glow
And as we watched in disbelief
These were the words he spoke

He said now Mama's in the kitchen
And she's been there all day
And I know she's cooking something good
So let's bow our heads and pray
And he sang

To the Lord let praises be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
Now listen to what the preacher said
He said to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat

And the moral of this story
Children it is plain but true
God knows if a preacher preaches long enough
Even he'll get hungry too
And he'll sing

To the Lord let praises be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat
We've got some beans and some good cornbread
Now listen to what the preacher said
He said to the Lord let praised be
It's time for dinner now let's go eat

[WCGreen]

18. Like that......

[unhappycamper]

19. It's a great song. n/t

[mr blur]

21. Nope. Real Life's happening right outside the door,

and it's more than enough for me.

[Cobalt Violet]

23. I hate church.

[hobbit709]

26. Church?????

Not unless it's "the First Church Of The Gooey Death

[SmileyBoy]

31. I'm Muslim, so I don't count.

:D

[WCGreen]

38. Well wasn't that friday.......

Sunday I got friday on my mind.....

[SmileyBoy]

40. I should go to mosque on Fridays, at least.

It's the least I can do. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting.

[WCGreen]

49. Which reminds me

If Muslims have adopted Friday as the day of rest
And the Jews have adopted Saturday as the day of rest
And the Chirstians have adopted Sunday as the day of rest......

That leaves a four day work week....

Cause all three recognize the Ten commandments....

So in a pluralisitc society that is supposedly founded on the three great religions of the western world, wouldn't all three days have to be declared as day's of rest,,,,

In deference to all the faiths......

Or should we just say screw it...

Do what you want....

You're on your own....

37. I Can't Recall The Last Time I Attended A Church Service...

... not including weddings and funerals. And not including historical sight-seeing touristy stuff.

The last time that I actually attended a regular church service was probably when I was in high school--still living at home with my parents--over 27 years ago. (And even THEN, it's very like that I attended ONLY after being coerced, and with great resentment.)

-- Allen

PS: Why do most churches smell funny?

[WCGreen]

39. Incense peppermnt and priest farts....

[arwalden]

45. Dust. Mold. Mildew. Mothballs. I also think that old books and old wood..

... develop unique and identifiable odors of their own. I've been in a few libraries and antique bookstores that had odors similar to those you often find in a church.

[WCGreen]

51. I know....

It can be wonderfull...

i was just kidding about the priestly gas.....

I like the smell of old churches and good used book stores....

[RPM]

63. Christ - i can't even remember the last time i went...

weddings not included...

I was a solid Creaster (Christmas & Easter) for years.

I think christmas 2003 was my last trip to church.

I think i was at a RC mass x( for a wedding in summer of 2004 - the free booze barely made up for that...

[GirlinContempt]

66. I never do

[In_The_Wind]

68. me

[greeneyedpookie]

70. Wish I could

however it is my turn for "Call to Worship" today. Made a 3 hour car trip down to my parents to drop my daughter off to then and had to rush back home because I have four 3 week old puppies I am having to bottle feed. Oh so tired. Hubby is being a great help though with feeding the babies.

GEP

:bounce:

[Briarius]

72. Church?

you mean the big steeply place? not for a few years now...

[panzerfaust]

73. Day Late: the Sabbath was Yesterday

The Jews and the Adventists have that right; but then Islam holds that it was the day before ...

Hard to keep the (self described as) Angry Jealous Mr. Big Happy.

Interesting that the Lord and Creator of the Universe would describe Himself so, for “Jealous” seems such an adolescent sort of state. In this context, do enjoy dictionary.com's definition of "jealous":

1) Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position.
2a) Resentful or bitter in rivalry; envious: jealous of the success of others.
2b) Inclined to suspect rivalry.
3) Having to do with or arising from feelings of envy, apprehension, or bitterness: jealous thoughts

If freely picking a deity, I'd like one a bit more sure of her/himself, as s/he might then be less likely given to the violent fits of savagery and murder that insecurity seems to bring out in a god, and that the God of Abraham has, beyond question, proved to suffer from.

Praise the Lord.

Just pick the Right Day, else He will make you sorry.

[swag]

74. Ugh.

The very idea of going to church makes my flesh crawl.

[Mutley]

75. I never go to church.

In fact, I've only been to church a few times in my life. Once as a kid with a friend whose mother said I could only spend the night (on a Saturday) if I went to church with them the next day. Once when my cousin was christened. And one other time but I was very young and I don't remember much about it.

[TK421]

76. That reminds me...it's been at least ten years since my last confession

[ghostsofgiants]

77. I haven't been to church in 7 or 8 years

Since I was 12 or 13. That's when my parents stopped forcing me to go.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

79. I'm Jewish, but then I don't go to synagogue these days but on

Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana. Shabbat...not so much. Used to go more often when I was younger.
