Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Well, they were protesting the lineage of the Pope if memory serves.
geez, JZ, I hope that girl gathered some kind of sense along the way.

I believe there is a Serbian Orthodox church.
That's a lot of Orthodox churches.
I have a huge gap in my knowledge base where "churches, Orthodox" should be.
I grew up Episcopalian, which was the most boring white bread denomination ever until recently, when the church ordained a gay Bishop and a bunch of parishes seceded. Now, according to my mom, churches are divided into two categories,--"Good" churches (ones who accept gay marriage and clergy) and "those others we don't like anymore." When we drive by an Episcopal chuch, she tries to figure out from the signage whether they are good or not.
Armenian Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox, too. And all the Orthodox churches are, theoretically, the same big church. I have an Armenian O. friend who recently moved to Santa Cruz and found herself in a really uncomfortable, ingrown little parish, so she's looking at nearby Greek and Russian and Serbian churches, hoping to find someplace that doesn't give her hives.
Ha Robin! My mom does the exact same thing... so funny!
One of the main reasons I love buffistas is conversations like this one. I keep reading and think "but what about..." and then someone else posts that. (Short story, I have nothing to add, but I am pleased to be here.)
