What a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much. I very much enjoy your blogs, too. Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple - Blog Entry27 Mar 2006 06:16 PM I was very young when this happened, but I grew up hearing my grandma talking about it. It sounds like Jones had some great ideas. How tragic that paranoia and corruption turned him away from a noble cause and lead him to abuse his followers.

The Culture of Judaism - Blog Entry26 Mar 2006 01:57 AM You know, although the two often find themselves at war, it seems as though the Jews and Muslims actually have similar cultures. I suppose because they both originate in the Middle East. My Dark Ebay Secret - Blog Entry25 Mar 2006 06:18 PM Yeah, you really have to watch those eBay shipping charges. There are many instances where the shipping charges are double or triple the cost of the item.

Face it-- for most of the sellers, eBay is a business and they're in it to make a profit. Exercise Tips for Hot Days - Blog Entry25 Mar 2006 04:41 PM I'm in Texas, too-- can you believe this weather?

Muslim Dating -- Or Not! - Blog Entry25 Mar 2006 02:43 AM Bought his wife? Hmmmm.... must be an Iraqi thing, because it sure isn't an Islamic thing. Did he mean he paid a dowry? A dowry is a part of traditional Muslim marriages, but that is a gift. It is by no means buying a wife. |
