The Hall of Fire

I know you didn't mean any offense and I didn't take any :hug: I still have many issues with the Catholic church, so many that I question wether or not I really am one or for that matter if they even want me since the more I think about it the more I find I don't agree with them! ;) But that's anoth...

Thanks for the support all. I too am keeping y'all in my prayers as well

Eek when you put it that way it looks horrible. But I can't refute what you say, since we (Catholics) do have stipulations before one can recieve communion. But that still doesn't mean we don't accept others as Christians.

Well, plenty of churches have fairly elaborate and highly exclusive definitions of what constitutes a Christian. There are plenty of Christian churches where I could not take communion, including all Catholic churches—meaning that I am not a Christian in their view. Not true Prim. From Webster's Di...

I wondered how they dealt with their faith. Wouldn't it be kind of a struggle to deal with such diverse beliefs? One contradicts the other.

I have a question which has been sorta touched on in previous posts. I've known at least two women who have a Jewish mother and Christian father. So they celebrate both Christmas and Haunkkah, but I don't understand how you can both accept Christ as the savior and also reject Christ as the savior, y...

Wow Sassy I won't even pretend to know how cool your performance was, but it sounds impressive!! And since you too have seen the Bourne version would you mind giving me your interpretation of the ballet? I'm confused by the Secretary and girlfriend's role. I don't see how the Secretary relates to th...

Oh me too Jewel it gives me goosebumps everytime!!!! But now the scene in Billy Elliot confuses me because if all the swans are supposed to female and Billy at the end is a male swan does that mean he was in Bourne or Bourne-style production? :scratch: Yes all those men without shirts was very easy ...

I see what you are saying Cerin. What's right for one might not be right for all so an abortion might work out for Sally emotionally but be a disaster for Betty. But I see what hal is saying too if it was horribly tramatic I'd probably want to share my experiences if not as a form of therapy for mys...

Thanks Jny I had to wait until I got home from work to see the cutie kitties

I know I just joined today but my Mothers friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last april and she had a hysterectomy and chemo which seemed to work, but a few months later she has tumors attached to her stomach and it doesn't look good. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she undergo...

Thanks hal!

My goodness is it different!!! I'm gonna have to read a synopsis of the Bourne version to see what I missed because there are massive diffrences in Bourne's version besides the homoerrotic addition.

Well nuts. I wanted to avoid Googling Swan Lake because I like having discussion. Would you mind giving a brief summary of the Swan Lake you know vison? Or providing a linky with a description? I swear I'm not being lazy I'm just looking for conversation instead of using Google and being done with i...

As pro-life as I am I don't think "we" can go back now and make abortion illegal. It would be disasterous and it certainly wouldn't make sexually active people more responsible if they already aren't to begin with. This issue doesn't have to be all or nothing. Ideally, for most and I can't...

Yes, the swans are supposed to be women. The pas de deux between the Prince and both the Good (White) Swan and the same dancer dressed in black and being the Evil Swan are the most famous pas de deux in ballet. Well there ya go then! That explains a lot for me :D All Swans were male as was the Prin...

I briefly looked at that article but that's the one I saw. First, are the swans supposed to be women? In Bourne's version the swans were all men, intentionally, as oppossed to men, playing women. They wore long feathery capri-length pants and were bare chested, they had the tell-tale black mark of t...

This was my first ballet and I was afraid I'd be terribly lost without words but I managed to survive in one piece, but scratching my head a little. I know very little of Swan Lake, except the music as I performed a selection during marching band so the music was familiar. And I adore the movie Bill...

Thanks Vornowe! Different is good, I like different
