Oh so no more LDS?

Let us know how it goes. I hear Quaker meetings are actually rather boring.

Tell us how it goes Tweed.

a main motivation is having a paper trail of involvement in pacifism in order to dodge possible conscription into the military.

That was during the immediate post-9/11 scare phase.

All that said, let us know how it goes. I've been to Quaker meetings. They're relaxing, if a little uncanny in their quiescence.

It's like one minute you're preaching from the pulpit at some exceedingly dull church; the next you're a giving a Womens' Studies lecture at Berkeley.

of course I am aware of that.  the point being that when the war machine is in full gear, nearly anything can happen, and there's no reason to believe it won't happen again.

Quakers reflect on their faith which you know, is a little more spiritual than waving your arms around like a tit.

I briefly thought of you today when after the baptisms and dedications the lead pastor then said some prayer about unleashing our freedom in worship, and it was perfectly right to want to celebrate and throw your hands in the air, probably because of being aware that because of the baptisms/dedications there were a lot of people there not normally going to the church who probably don't normally worship charismatically. It's kind of funny how non-believers can be the most dogmatic about this type of thing.

So Tweed, how'd it go?

Are you aware of where the term "Quaker" comes from? (hint: it's not from sitting still in a pew)

"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard. . . But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."
- Justice Robert Jackson WV SBE v Barnette
