  1. That's precious! The Jehovah's Witnesses that visit us regularly, too regularly as a matter of fact -- usually right behind the Mormons -- are usually very overweight and carrying briefcases and wearing ties. The thought of them of bicycles is rib-tickling.

    Around our parts they come in pairs... usually young pimply guys college-aged. (I was not blessed, thankfully, with those tiny red spots) They ride these 50's style bikes, and are always trying to convert us to something. Luckily, they're mostly harmless. I think these younger guys are not as enthusiastic as their elders... it's just the way they come off to me.

  2. Oh, and yes, my local little league does include sexual orientation in its non-discrimination policy. The boy scouts should take a lesson from little league baseball on this subject.

    I would never have played baseball this year if they did not have that policy! I'd have stuck to sandlot ball.

  3. The US does not understand this kind of film... or any film that has questioning youth that differ from the "normal" kid.

    As for the Graeme Taylor clip, I'm as open as he is about my sexuality, but never in public... never. It would be like committing suicide. He is cute... looks a lot like one of our friends, Tim.

  4. I was wondering... Does anyone know if the other organizations within the Boy Scouts around the world hold with these bigoted policies of the Boy Scouts of America? I know there are Sea Scouts, and Rangers, and others too.

  5. Any advice on what I should say if the topic comes up? Losing one of the few friends I have is not high on my "Things To Do" list. Usually, if she begins her bible speak, I just tune her out and think about something else till it's over. I'm not sure I'll be able to hold my tongue if this subject comes up.

    I might not be the best resourse for this, but if she is really a good friend, you should be able to talk to her about it. But, if you do you will have to put your indignation (good word) in your back pocket. Listen to her side, and expect her to listen to yours. If things breakdown. Then she was never really your friend.

  6. "Well, guilty as charged."

    He went on to note, "We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that...we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

    Yes, he's right. We live in a free country... free to eat at Burger King, Micky D's, Wendy's, at home. But, they wont be seeing our faces or money anytime soon!
