Jaan...it is an expression..what does it mean?
My friend is from Asia..Bangladesh...we refer to each other as Jaan....it may be spelled JA'AN...not sure about the accent mark...but he thinks it may be a expression of feelings like Darling or SweetHeart or mean somethings like I care about you or feelings of affection...maybe...
Does any one know what this may mean...if not...what do you thinks it may mean...
It came from somewhere....Bangladesh is an Asian country I am assuming...so maybe that word is Asian....Thank You Soo much and have a Nice Day....

In the movie, 'City Slickers', a few characters are talking about their best day, and it turns out one guy's best day is also his worst day. It was a painful day, but one of realizations and truths.

Have you had a day like this? Feel like sharing it? :)

The scandal that broke out in the Convent of Our Lady of The Blessed Shroud, Saddlebrook, NY re: the Nun lesbian lovers that broke their vows of silence to confess to their Mother Superior and were then immediately ousted!

Sister Maria Giuseppe of Our Lady of The Blessed Shroud
wrote about the same situation in her "tell all" book,
"Shout It From The Belfries".

She broke her vows of silence AND confessed her Lesbian affairs in one fell swoop and both she and her Lover were defrocked and Excommunicated the same day !

Now they are suing the Church with the help and full support of the ACLU and demanding to see Hillary Clinton their Senator saying to reporters, "Hillary understands Lesbians"!!

What say you?

I say "Go for it girl"!!!

I just realized another simple/silly pleasure of mine: Walking up the escalator. Specifically walking, not riding. I love the feeling of utilizing my normal level of energy, but getting to the top twice as fast! *giggle*

What's your simple, silly pleasure? :)

-- Adam & Eve were naked in Paradise.

-- He made Isaiah run around naked for 3 years. (Isaiah 20).

-- Peter is described as doing his fishing naked. (John 21:7) with no disapproval.

If it's okay for Isaiah and Peter (and Mark-- 14:51-52) it's okay for us.

We should stop wearing clothes all the time, and go naked whenever possible.

We've heard and read so many stories of men who would never have been suspected because they were "Nice, family men, who went to church (or who led it!)." But can anyone give a documented account of an previously-"out" homosexual violating a child?

Secondly: Does being a member of a church give potential criminals instant "credibility"?

I live in a city in which I am the minority even though my race is considered the majority. My professor was very negative toward white people in general and blamed us for the way of the country. I kept myself quiet, but inside I fumed because most of her statements were untrue.
