Happy birthday...so..when are you getting your drivers permit?

 

im afraid to drive right now haha, because i have road rage..its bad so ill wait until next year for that.

 

aaaahah Maria, I'm almost 17 and I don't even have my G1 yet.. which is Ontario for being that it's like a permit I guess... only a lot more restricting.. and expensive.

I don't drive because I'm a pussy.

 

I don't want to drive... yet, you almost are obligated to where I live, since it's an isolated peninsula in the middle of the land of BFE.

Lord, why couldn't I have been born quaker or amish.........




Happy b-day. What are your plans?

 

You can always convert.

 

Happy birthday, Ms. Nell... we almost have the same one... so, uh, cheers to that.

 

1) i could really understand why you wouldn't want to

2) I have a BFE sticker on my car because...well because that's where i'm from

3) i've been thinkin' about becomin' a quaker, well, i've thought about it, at least a few times within the past 2 months

and 4) unrelated to you george, happy birthday nell

 

I've thought about it for the past few years of my life... it's just that I'm not sure if everyone, as a whole, would really understand the seriousness of the situation.

You have no idea how much this dominates alot of my thoughts. I love the fact that you have the option to walk into a living room on a Sunday morning, have breakfast with friends, and talk about little things without arguing or detesting people for who they are, praise your higher being, and call it church. On top of that, you call your brothers and sisters friends... and you still have the option to go to a traditional friends church.

Because that's more of what the world needs in this age.

 

happy birthday nell

i just find it interesting that the biggest concentration of quakers are in africa

 

I like the whole idea of quakerism, or at least the self sufficiency/pacifism bit... I'm not entirely keen on the whole religious aspect of it, but I'm pretty squeamish about religion in general anyhow.

I just want to kinda go back to the land... No strings attached. Makes the most sense to me.

 

Yeah... I don't know if you've seen this blog... there's alot of quaker blogs I read.

I know how you feel about religion, meg... it's just that it's not the religion that's a problem-- it's many of the people within the hollow walls who don't care if they're preaching hate or love, so long as they get their cut.

Sometimes it makes me sad because it's like seeing a kid with downsyndrome being kicked around. Sometimes you're at your lowest when you turn to your religion, yet you still see people taking advantage of something you love.

let me tell you 'bout a preacher,
With a cane and a long tailed coat,
Let me tell you 'bout a preacher,
With a cane and a long tailed coat,
But he does all his preachin',
With his eyes on the womenfolk.

Chorus

Send him back, send him back, where he was before,
He's a two-faced man, and we don't want him here no more.

Well he preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,
Yes he preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,
But when i met him in a alley, he won my watch and chain.

Repeat chorus

Well he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,
Yes he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,
But then i saw a deacon, totin' the preacher home.

Repeat chorus

Well he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,
Yes he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,
But then i saw the preacher, kissin' brother jackson's wife.

Repeat chorus

 

Well I wasn't saying I wanted to be a quaker by any means... :uhoh2:...

 

interesting thing about quakerism these days is you don't even have to be a Christian

still not entirely sure how it works other than just taking quaker logic and some ideologies and leaving out the God thing

but the leaving out the God thing is where i lose sense of how it actually works...

 

That is true... and exactly how I feel too, brother.
