Lillie, I'm so sorry you had a mother like that.  My own Mother had a mother like that.  We were all so relieved when she finally died.  It was like being held hostage.  My Aunt (my Mom's sister) recently became estranged from us by acting a lot like their mother.  My aunt had been in therapy for years because of her mother, then she ends up acting just like her!  Sad.

John, I say that the real me was born the day my mother died.  It was such a relief.  I am so glad she is no longer in this world and since there is no Heaven or Hell, I won't ever have to see her again.  This is really sad.  I hope my children won't say that about me when I am gone.  Whatever my mother did, I tried to do the opposite.  Sometimes a strange negative thought comes into my mind and I wonder where in the world it came from.  Then I laugh and say, "Margaret lives."

Just proves the churches can't/won't share the wealth with each other!

There are thousands of small churches across the US that could not survive if they were taxed.  I don't really wish to see them shuttered because of something outside of their control.  However, practicing politics is completely inside of their control, and I am all for removing the tax exemption from any church who is stupid enough to use their captive audience to influence political issues and elections.  In my vision of a perfect world, all churches would be shuttered not because they had no choice, but because their members started thinking critically and left.

As a Canadian I'm on the outside looking in, but as neighbors we're very close to you guys & so many things are showing us the US isn't that bloody wonderful.....nor blessed. We get all your tv networks so we see a lot of your news, & I can't say we like much of what we see. I know we have a lot of our own issues, but your's have gone way beyond the toleration point, & unfortunately we tend to follow. I just have to hope our leaders can stand up to your's as strongly as possible.

I'd LOVE to see that also Felaine, but I doubt it will ever happen.

Sending the golden snitch cat to my daughter Steph! :)

James and Steph, and anybody, is there any country in the world today that has the courage to tax everyonee, and every business, equally....  including churches?

I keep hoping I'll live to see the day when the US (and each state)will wake up and calculate the income that could be amassed by taxing church property at the same rate that houses are taxed, but I doubt it's gonna happen.  Ever.
