Are emotions tres vite? Why we should break fast ... slow down and know ... it is a lesser energy sort of subtle like yam ... thus the stop, dig and "know that I yam"! Is that profound or just deep 6'D in the word?

Does this eliminate me from emotional religions? Possibly ... but I do love intelligence that is alien to me ... a hated philosophy?

Many take the biblical story as superfluous and don't under stand the fluid nature ... it ebs and tildes with the winds of emotions ... as Frankie Lane sung ... The Wayward Winds? The "I" of the turbulence isn't bad as the centre of gravity hints as an icon! In Black Holes the output appears as jet (black?) according to Hawking observations on arbitrary incidents!
 
Jae,

I enjoy spending time with my women friends. We talk life, family, careers, politics........ We are friends

Just like my husband has his friends.

I also spend time with couples but i dont understand why you dont see the purpose of having friends of your own sex. It seems pretty natural to me

We make friends with many types we make other friends who have similar jobs or perhaps similar hobbies and hobbies.

In my particular ucw unit, we all joined when we were young mothers, coping with caring for families and managing careers. Now we are older, some have grandchildren, some have careers, some are retired. Some have died, some have divorced. W have our history

We get about two women who join us each year. Women of our age who are new to our church . I our church, many women join to meet other women


We are lucky in that our big fundraising events are multigenerational and involved all the church.
 
And yes, if Rita wee to come to our meeting she would be welcome. Interesting, i wonder if history would make Rita more comfortable sharing with men, over flipping pancakes or sharing with women over cooking soup. @Rita?
 
Friends of the same sects? That'd be hommoe genius ... being that "hommoe" is Greek for common, or familiar ... and down here with opposing sects we loose common sense and invasion breaks forth from both sides ... an inward entity combined with an enclosing energy .. and thus the dis ease was transmitted into rest! the trashing and dissonance in the night settled just prior to the don ... in Erse that is a hole in either ... a void in energy or a hole in the physical .. and thus the incomprehensible Black Hole Theory .. for where a'mon could put displaced intelligence ...

There may be further analogies ... when you consider the human scre-whop!
 
My mother is a lifetime member of UCW

I on the other hand attended one meeting (it was SO dated-with roll call being taken and dues being paid) and about 5 years later-having moved-I attend another meeting-it was a Christmas cookie exchange. I went because I wanted to exchange cookies.

The church I attend does not have an UCW-but overall the church is aged and highly female.

Wasn't Tyros or something like it for men? I recall Dad being part of something. Bet GordW would know.

In the olden days ie my growing up years:
Messengers fed into Explorers that fed into CGIT and then UCW
 
LOL crazyheart! I got my knuckles rapped a few times when I was new to my church by the kitchen women!

AOTS (As One That Serves) is the one I remember at my family church in the seventies and eighties but I think it was either fading or not as widespread as UCW in the first place.
 
I wanted to for a woman's group for our age, and put it as a unit. I was told that unless I followed the exact formula, we could not form one. I asked a bit more, and knew it wouldn't fly as was more about the overhead, then the actual group, and so it never went off. Last ucw unit is probably done (or will soon be done), in that church.

(A lot of the men at my church attend Promise Keepers events - and our men's breakfasts are largely based on their teachings.)

Never as widespread and fading in most areas of the country save for NL and the Maritimes. It really isn't thriving much there either as it seems to have been very generational.
 
I am a a life member of the UCW but haven`t attended regular meetings for about ten years (I do work at pie-making, rummage sales, auction, etc, and I`ve occasionally attended a rally or a June potluck). I seem to remember, maybe about 15 years ago, the idea was expressed that UCW be changed to include all women`s groups in the church. The quilters, the craft group, the social committee, the young mother`s, the `movies & musings` - whether or not they called themselves the UCW or not. I gather that most groups decided to retain the name UCW and, at least loosely, keep the structure.

Yeah, I think the AOTS in Kitchener was down to only 1 or 2 churches including ours even in the eighties. Not sure about today having lost contact with that church after Dad became Lutheran.
 
If you mess about in the church kitchen as Dian Nysis you could come face to face with the Maw Fey Os is ... Os, or Oz being the subtle powers of the church ... many men don't recognize this ... then many men don't have much vision of things that are manifest (appear as they aren't) ... and thus they can't believe in lesser powers ... in such encounters their thoughts are generally all folk dup ... like they was in heaven and anon aware! Jacked in all trades so that they are Master of nun in the kitchen!

If you can't take the heat leave ... thus separate or holy bred! That's the isolated man of the Hebrew mahaineim .. or the male transposition as Manhatten Tranfer in a mad hoes! It's like a tube or tunnel ... wormhole!

Anybody read The Polished Hoe? One has to understand a great bunch of myths to unravel the language in it that includes a lot of Creole aberrations! These too as dark in hue ... the best of peoples ... one should have one as an intimate friend ... like Driving Miss Daisy ... there's always a strange power behind such a flowering ... so often the supple parts are mist .. sort of like vespers ova da whadis ... did you know that a wadis is a veil or vale in Semite tongues and thus the coverup ... a pall? In Erse this is a pipe or Glen ... something well blown (bleu) by the winds of God ... can't process scattered thoughts!
 
The English firmly oppressed Gaelic ... but alas it still pops up hidden in the English spin on a pure language ... which is so much bull ... still Taurus tho' ...

Hi Seeler,

I remember those life membership pins. They were an honour that a unit could bestow for long service, exceptional service, etc. Very meaningful to the UCW units and to the individuals who received the pins.

There is definitely a "formula" to be followed by a unit of the UCW. It seems to be less and less appealing to women these days - - probably why other forms of women's groups and/ or ministries are developing in their own unique ways.
