Wow thats really excellent!
I hate to describe it as bullying I think I am a bit old for that word *rollseyes*
I wish I was that creative, I think the best think I made in wood work was a toy and I didn't even finish it!
Love the smell of sawdust though ;)
No one is too old for Bullying it is a major cause of stress at work.

Wood work is like any other skill, You need to want to learn how to do it.
and be prepared to spend time on it.
which side of manchester are you I am in Saddleworth, not so far away.

When you come to the States, drop by, and I'll take you to a wonderful hotsprings that is so natural and sacred by its nature that the people who go there often feel the need to speak in whispers, as if they've come into a cathedral.
Sounds magnificent, Nature is the most beautiful thing!

I do too. What do you think is the major strength of Satanism?
I don't know loads about it just a bit here and there but I think it relies on more the people rather than the diety and to look inside themselves and find their own strengths rather than relying on others its a very different and inside out religion really

I'm glad you found your path! It can be a difficult thing to do. Was it hard for you to leave Christianity? Did you have a lot of doubts about your decision to leave? Or was Paganism so obvious to you as your path that you just knew it was the right one for you?
Well it is a long story, I was an altar server and was great friends with my Vicar who was like my mentor and i was thinking about that too, but then things happened which made me doubt, then he left, and things just seemed to be arguments, belittling each other, just looking for excuses to judge each other in the end i just walked out without saying a word, it wasnt like one day I woke up and decided to leave it was just the longer I stayed away the more I could see it was more damage than good.
I am sure I will end up coming out with many stories during my stay here[/QUOTE]

So, you've always been religious? Sometimes I think it's the people who are most profoundly religious who are most likely to find a path other than the one they were born to. What most attracted you to Paganism?
I was baptised at 13/14 so no I wasn't.
Paganism is the natural spirituality, and the least forced, I know people see it as evil but how can it be?

BTW, Who in your life would you trust your life to if you had to walk with them into a difficult situation?
Arrrgh Sister, Friends Mum maybe why?

Hey, Dark Waltz! If you found a wallet on the street with a hundred pounds in it and the owner's address, would you return the wallet to the owner? With or without the money?

I'd return the wallet with the money, but I'd probably cry a lot while doing so. :jiggy:

Just curious, but are you for or against corporal punnishment of children?

What would you do if you found a wad of notes (on the road) ? - no identification whatsoever?

With no identification and no one around who looks like they might have dropped it? I'd take it home, invest it in shares of Google, and make a fortune. :woohoo:

What would you do with it, Michel?

Interesting. This is one huge ongoing difference between my Wife and me.

I would see it as being succumbing to temptation, and theft to put the money in my pocket. My wife's stance is that if I took the notes to the police and handed them in, that the chances are that a crooked cop would find a way of getting the money to end up in his own pocket; to me, that doesn't really matter, as long as my own conscience is clear.

In fact I see this as a parallel to the one about selling Arms to a foreign Country.."Well If I don't sell them to him, someone will, and I might as well have the profit"

It's a tougher call than it seems at first, isn't it?

I confess that I've pocketed small notes, like 10 and 20 dollar bills, that I've discovered alone and in need of a home while on my path, but I've never run across anything like a real wad.

I heard of a man from my home state who once found $50,000 dollars in cash in a brown paper bag on a country road. He took it to the police, who told him that if no one claimed it, it was his by law after three years. The police also told him that they didn't expect anyone to claim it because it was no doubt drug money. Three years later, no one had come forth to claim the money and the man was $50,000 dollars richer.
