  1. while it's true they will kill anyone(including each other)for any reason,or no reason,there is no one to stop them.
  2. and to answer the question,no ulc ministers cannot officiate a marriage other than ceremonial,period.this has been a sticking point in the uk as well as the former colonies(ie:canada,australia,and such places).
  3. it's seems like a long time since you posted and i am glad to see it. i wish you the best,and my only advice is to follow your heart.you won't be wrong.
  4. my understanding of luciferianism is that it is a"denomanation"of satanism,like the temple of set,or even the church of satan(among others).to my understanding,they all tend to be atheistic,so i'm not sure why they would need the title of"witch". then again,my understanding of witches is that they generally don't follow a set religion,and they too can be atheists. of course,i could be wrong.
  5. my understanding is that robots and androids are two different things. for bianary thinkers,it would be a simple yes or no.not 100% sure that would apply to androids.
  6. or states will refuse to issue them marriage licenses and then the supreme court will have to step in. define "soul".i even wonder if they can have a sub conscious.
  7. i don't think any book,game or what have you is strictly good or strictly evil.it's what humans do with it when they get a hold of it.
  8. depending on what state your in,you can only be registered with one organization.if your in ohio(for example)changing affiliations is not a big deal.just do what you did for your monastary ordination. would it affect your ability to do marriages?again,depends on which state your in.it doesn't effect your ulc status with modesto. my question would be,why stay with the monastary?
  9. may he find happiness in his journey. "your free genie"...
  10. it is the monostary in seattle.the first paragraph told me that.
  11. i know in michigan,i cannot call it a marriage(yet),but what the couple calls it is up to them.the ulc marriage certificate is not a legal document,so yes you could give them one. but as mr taylor stated,my opinion is not that of legal consul.but i agree with him,your being overly legalistic.
  12. try the ulc ministers site,and look under the state and area your in.
  13. not sure where you would go from here,and i'm not so sure that the answer is something worth finding. while simple manners would dictate a simple "thanks",i can almost guess it won't happen,even if it is "suggested".
  14. i have read the bible cover to cover(and a couple different translations to boot.)i had the hardest time with the koran,and the vitas.while i have a nice library myself,it is not useful if not shared with others.that doesn't mean lending out books(unless you are giving them away)but sharing the knowledge you gain from them. has society benifited in general from the books written by man?maybe,or not.
  15. this is the closest i have or ever will to a church.and i get to hear from you every so often von.
  16. a lot is going to depend on what the couple wants.the last non religious one i did was for my niece.i can send it to you,but i would first be sure of what the couple wants the above sounds redundent,but very importent.by non religious,the couple can mean"nod to god",or no mention of a deity period. .
  17. "The mother seems to vacillate between fault finding with her parenting skills, resenting her ex-husband for not helping her raise the kid, hating the girlfriend "for getting the son hooked".....and being worried sick the next phone call will be from a jail or a rescue squad. There doesn't seem to be any room for calm in all that - she just swings from one emotional low to the next without much leveling off. There are not many options for professional help in this rural setting and I have so far not been inspirational enough to motivate her to go to a bigger city to get some help for her own self. She does not have a computer (she does have television reception) ...we don't have a library but I could go online and order a self help book or some literature for her if someone knows a useful resource (I went on line but I cannot tell which one of the things on there might be actually effective) - any ideas on that ...thx von" unless or until she is ready to listen,and even calm down for a minute,you may not be able to help her either,even if she did ask you first.
  18. be careful when inhaling with recent dental work.a dry socket is some of the worst pain you can experience. when your ready,you'll stop.
  19. good to hear from you again von. truth be known,unless he/they want your help,it will not be welcomed.if the parties involved do not wish to kick their habit,there is nothing anyone can do. i can only wish you the best,and if they do come to you for help,i suggest you get them refered to treatment first.they will be going thru a hell they have created and not one you want to be part of.after that,you may be able to meet their"spiritual"needs.
  20. paitence is a virtue dan,and believe me not one of mine(which is not good for a middle of the road traveler),and yes,i still have a hot temper,espically when driving. i avoid mickey d's at all costs anyway.
  21. i don't see a need to explain anything to anyone.do what your beliefs tell you.
