Hi Honest2God-

Posted by H2G:
"...Hard to say what demonination the Church of Religious Science was, if it had any, so I suppose I would say that I am a non-practicing Presbyterian..."


Thanks, it makes it easier to understand the whole thread when you know the background on the participants. I dated a person years ago who was part of a non-denominational type of church...a society of friends/Quakers would be the best way to describe it. While different, they were very peaceful and friendly.

Over the past twelve to eighteen months I've started to have increasing concerns about several Muslim acquaintances whom I've known for 20+ years. A distinctly noticeable "circling of the wagons" is happening that I and other coworkers find truly puzzling... These people have been treated as equals for decades, but something is up with them because they don't even want to join the non-Muslims for lunch any longer. Curious stuff.

That sounds just like what happened in France - they seemed ok, for decades, then they separated. Only France is now much worse.

Very reminiscent of my wife's experience in high school. There was a group of about fifteen or twenty girls who all belonged to various incarnations of the local glee club through their entire schooling. Then somewhere between the end of tenth grade and the beginning of eleventh, several of the girls discovered they were black and the rest of the girls were not.

You are not the only one having that same experience.
