To my way of thinking, Saying "I am a Jehovah's Witness" is like saying "I am a my fathers daughter"

A witness that belongs to and bears witness to Jehovah, I would think, would suggest that the correct way to state this would be "I am/ he is/ she is one of Jehovah's Witnesses"... what do you think?

Four Surprising Facts
Revealed in The Face Behind the Veil


* American Muslim Women Are Among the Most Diverse in
the World

American Muslim Women hail from 77 countries.
Indeed, most are not Arabs, but South Asians. Many are
African Americans tracing their ancestry to Muslim
slaves brought to America by the slave traders. A
growing number of Anglos and Hispanic women are
finding their spiritual home in Islam. Muslim women
are also diverse in how they practice their faith:
Many do not wear the hijab, for example.

* Muslim Women in America Are Not Downtrodden

Most Muslim women profiled in the book have
college educations and work outside the home. One
study shows that Muslim families have an average
household income of $75,000, making them among the
most affluent in America. For the most part, Muslim
women here are not the downtrodden who are seen on
nightly newscasts in Europe or Third World countries.
The women profiled in the book say Islam promotes
learning and that is why so many Muslim women are
educated. Even Muslim refugee women, denied an
education, are eager to learn once in America. And
they make sure their children have the education they
didn't have.

* America has influenced Islam -- and Muslim women.

America's Islam is not Europe's, South Asia's
or the Middle East's. Many American mosques have
become a gathering place, from hosting Brownie troops
to Weight Watchers. Many Christians who converted to
Islam, particularly African Americans, hold religious
classes and services on Sunday, even though they still
go to Islam's traditional Friday prayers. America's
influence is also why there is such a fight for equal
treatment in the mosques here. While some women, such
as in Pakistan and other South Asia countries are used
to not going to religious services, American women
aren't. They want the same facilities, the same
treatment in the mosque as men receive.

* Technology has helped spread Islam across America

American Muslims have used the Internet to
strengthen their faith. Muslim women can now buy
whatever hijab or gowns they want on the Internet. Or
they can chat online why they chose not to wear any
sort of scarf. They can find a mate on a matchmaking
website. They can study the Quran on the web or join
Muslim groups. Although they may be the only Muslim
family in Smallville, they are only a click away from
finding other Muslims like themselves throughout the
United States.

Issaish Washington an actor on the hit TV show; Grey's Anatomy was casitgated by GLAAD,the Gay Community, the media & ABC-TV for using the word "******" in referring to co-star TR Knight. Issiah initially denied using the offensive term and then used it again on a TV awards show. He finally admitted his "offense" met with and apologized to TR Knight, the Gay & Lesbian Community,etc. and agreeded to go to REHAB only when his termnation from the series loomed on the horizon. And to a residential treatment facility...for using an ofensive term. After a short time in REHAB Issiah was "cured" from what ever he infected with and returned to work. IMUS on the other hand did use ofensive terms, expressed his regret, never denied using them and met with Rev. Sharpton to discuss the issue and apologize. Imus went to Rutgers and apologized to the lady players and accepted the imposed the 2 week suspension. Then he was fired by MSNBC,NBC & CBS. Equal & fair or not? Your thoughts? THX

Why is there racism? Why do people always have to judge one another because of their color of skin? I mean seriously. Why are we so disrespectful to blacks? Every time I go to see a movie it has whites treating blacks like trash. I hate to see this. If there was a white man who ran for president against a black man, and the white man was really dumb. I mean, he didnt know the difference between a hobo and an elbow, and then the black was a very wise, smart, guy who was right for president, who would you vote for? I mean imagine we were all blue, then can you imagine how nice our world would be? There wouldnt be as many color problems and we really, though, wouldnt be able to tell the difference between one another. Why do blacks hate whites and why do whites hate blacks? Why cant we just be our own freaking selves and like one another for who we are?

I have a 6 volt battery/system in my bike. The turn signals on my Suzi stay on but won't flash on and off. I am using 6 volt lights in the signals. I have tried both a 6 and 12 volt flasher, same results; lights stay lit without flashing.

My headlight keeps burning out, I have tried both 6 volt and 12 volt bulbs. 6 volt lights have no chance. 12 volt bulbs are fine when bike is idling, when I give it gas the bulb burns brighter and brighter until it blows.

In the headlight bucket, the electrical hub, there are 3 wires that are not connected to anything. 2 are attached to the bolts that attach the bucket to the front forks, ground wires I'm assuming, but not connected to anything. The 3rd wire is a brown white striped wire with double female connectors at the end, not connected to anything.

I tested the voltage at the signal lights before and after replacing a blown 2 olm resistor with a new 2.4 olm resistor. It read 7.5 volts before and after replacing the resistor.

IDEAS?
