This was in western NY & every morning we had to recite the "Board of Regents" prayer. The nuns at Catechism told us little Catholic kids that we were not to say that prayer, just say a "Hail Mary" or "Our Father" to ourselves. Looking around my class the morning after we were given this instruction, not a single one of us had the nerve not to say it.
It's a horrible thing to be 6 years old and find out you don't have what it takes to be a martyr to the faith.

(22,282 posts)As a Methodist I wasn't 'saved' enough for the Baptists and Church of Christ kids. We used to have these morning devotions which often were led by students. the Baptists prayed long and the Methodists either did a "moment of silent prayer" or the Lord's Prayer. Methodists aren't trained from birth to pray on demand anyway.
It was a very happy day when we no longer had to listen to their prosletysing

(28,089 posts)She's planning on getting her nursing degree so Spanish would make sense. But, she did take French in high school, and if you want to immigrate to Canada you get extra points for knowing French.
I told her to not make up her mind until after November.

(63,941 posts)they are always looking for Nurses. Just another option that should be considered. All the best to her and you.
Canada will be little America. I don't why but Handmaid's Tale is telling at this moment in time in our country, we must save her.

fishwax
(29,149 posts)good thing, because if this speech goes over well the prospects for our country are pretty horrifying.
I've got to admit I'm worried, though. Not because anything he's said has really landed in the reality-based world, but because this whole spectacle speaks to how delusional his supporters are and how willing he is to play right to it.

(63,941 posts)they are to heed his word. We have a dangerous cult here.
