Nathan DeParis replied to Vladislav's discussion Rosaries as necklaces in the group Catholic Men"Yeah i thin you can even compare them to the beads used by certain shaolin monks. It's really just designed with the loop for practical purposes, not as a clothing accessory."
John Martin replied to Vladislav's discussion Rosaries as necklaces in the group Catholic Men"I've seen displays at museums of rosaries - the Knights of Columbus Museum has had several. I've always admired them and appreciated them as objects that illustrate something sacred and the love that the hands that crafted the rosaries…"
Vladislav replied to Vladislav's discussion Rosaries as necklaces in the group Catholic Men"Haha...I was born a poor black child. Wow, things fell off the tracks here. Scapula = shoulder blade, scapular = Catholic devotional necklace, scalpel = doctors blade. So JonEdanger is right of course. Bottom line: …"
Rebekah replied to Vladislav's discussion Rosaries as necklaces in the group Catholic Men"You gentlemen are failing to make a distinction between the more material aspect and the more formal aspect. The icons on an iconostasis are, of course, objects of religious veneration. They are also constituent parts of the iconostasis, which must…"
JonEdanger replied to Vladislav's discussion Rosaries as necklaces in the group Catholic Men"When did you start referring to yourself in the third person?
Every so often I do it as a homage to Navin R. Johnson. "Who is Navin Johnson?"
But I digress."

In human anatomy the scapula, or shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).The scapula forms the…"
Nathan DeParis replied to Vladislav's discussion Rosaries as necklaces in the group Catholic Men"Yeah, and I think JonEdanger is thinking of a Scalpel. But your very right Rebekah, there is acually a story for each type of Scapular according to http://oce.catholic.com/index.php?title=Scapular ;"

Steve M said… - Vladislav, I gather you are from the Czech Republic. Where exactly? I saw you studied Polish. We have a mechanical engineer and electrical engineer from Poland. He is from Kielce, Poland and she is from Zbójno in świętokrzyskie voivodeship. They are married and now have 2 lovely daughters born in the US. My family had a wonderful Polish Christmas last year with them.

Joseph Casson replied to StaggerLee's discussion Are Muslims Silent or Is The Media Negligent? in the group The Great Debate"The media is always negligent. It makes money that way.
1. Report a story, edited by the media to sell more copies
2. This selective reporting rouses hate amoung the common folk
3. Hate causes riots and other dispute
4. Media makes money reporting…"
Vytautas replied to Jonny's discussion Was putting my dog to sleep the right thing to do?"Sounds like you really want to live the Old Yeller movie. I'm sure you have experience killing animals, but shooting a family member is far from humane. Take him to a vet. It's far better than the option you seem to be hinting at."
Will replied to LShieldes's discussion Run fat boy run"Right out the front door (if it's a place safe to run), and don't beat yourself up if you only run 100 feet. Just do more next time."
Aaron F Kendrick replied to Will's discussion Religious content in Hollywood in the group The Great Debate"Even so, those who are the religious characters are portrayed as psychotic in some way.

Aaron F Kendrick replied to Will's discussion Religious content in Hollywood in the group The Great Debate"My problem is multi-fold, but the two biggest issues are first, the one you mentioned all religions are the same. Well, they are not and they are. They have different areas they believe to be important, that's all. Religion is…"
StaggerLee replied to JSydCarton's discussion And the Fool Speaks"Why ridicule? My experience, and yes I have been fortunate, has always been that folks don't blame you so much for the way you were but for choosing to remain that way. If you want to make changes then make them . Start small and work you way…"
