Shock! Amazement! ;)

I never knew that about you. I am pretty much a liberal Quaker too, although the test actually put Buddhism a bit higher, which surprised me. But then again, I beleive in reincarnation, so I suppose that is what the test was calculating.

I'm not prone to making a big deal out of it...

Oh, I noticed that you went to Oak Ridge ES...all of our children went there, although the youngest (now working on his fighter card) only did kindergarten there.

Really! I went from K to 2nd. I was put in as an out-district student because my parents didn't want me at Nellie Custis (which later closed anyway and put those kids into Oak Ridge). In 2nd grade I had a teacher who put way too much pressure on me (I came home in tears because I would get 1 or 2 problems wrong on a test). So they put me into Drew Model until 6th. Then we moved to MD (partly my dad's job, but also to put us closer to Sandy Spring Friends School). My parents fought to get my sisters through Thomas Jefferson JHS and Wakefield HS but didn't want to fight with me. (Lots of various problems). Actually I would have done OK at those schools, but probably would be socially inept. SSFS fostered my mind and soul and let it grow.

Where did you live to go to Oak Ridge? We lived down on South 25th street (blocks from a gravel parking lot that eventually turned into Pentagon City Mall) and then up on South Pierce street right by the ES.

We were on 19th St, backing up to the softball fields. We watched Pentagon City mall go up out our back windows. It was convenient to be able to walk there.

Hnuh, they put Ramon Cathloicism behind mainline Protestantism? Odd, considering outside of women's issues the Roman Cathlolic chruch actually has some pretty, well, liberal qualities. They oppose the death penalty and they accept evolution.

I shoudl take this again, though I think I got Baha'i last time, or something like that.

well, I suppose that the rankings are based on how well or poorly your beliefs as reflected in the answers match up with the quiz writer's understanding of the various flavors of faith practice.

Frankly, I don't necessarily accept as valid the presence of Scientology in the list, but...

[sister-devora.livejournal.com]

Er... So do a number of the more mainline/liberal Protestant groups. Plus, there's that whole accepting women as real people thing. In the end, though, as already noted, it comes down to the quiz designer's definitions, doesn't it?

just seemed right ...

today's Ozy and Millie cartoon seemed appropriate for this discussion.
