I don't know why but I agree with Nik on the power harnessing capability

We know that Cyndane is a little weaker in the power than she was when she was Lanfear. So maybe some of that potential has gotten transfered to moiraine during that fight and tumble into finnland ? Better yet, their potentials have been inter-changed ?
..... that would probably be too much to hope for ....

I said that about running away because I have issues with the religious leaders of that denomination' date=' and not with God whatsoever.
I have always believed in a higher power, but you might say that it has always been in spite of the Catholic teachings. I would never do something so silly as to stop believing in a higher power because I don't believe the people who teach the religion they made up about it. I just had to clear that up, because what was explained wasn't accurate to me.

Ok. As you say, I too believe in the higher power that we call god.
A lot of it was stupid and archaic, and I disagreed with a lot of the things they taught and said. But most of all, I just never was moved by it, and I never believed. And faith is the most important part of every religion; if you don't have faith, you aren't a part of that religion.Yep, faith is the most important thing. I totally agree with you. Sometimes I've had this doubt too.
In my case, I do sometimes feel that some of it is archaic and does not apply to the current social set-up. Also I cannot say I have ever been moved by it.
But I have always believed in the set of rules and regulations that is prescribed. Most of the things I was taught are not about any beliefs but are about discipline. They teach a person how to lead life in a systematic way. That impressed me a lot and that's what keeps me bound to my religion and religious customs more than anything else.

Ok. But why would anybody who's a catholic want to convert to another faith or altogether lose belief in god ?

I don't know if its a senstive issue for you ... but was kinda surprised reading the same thing in more than one person's post.

I was born into a Catholic family, too. But I didn't run away. I just never believed.

I did'nt quite get this one ... being catholic and running away ?

) -
Ok.

@Jan : Thanks

BTW, what's with the violence ? I don't recall reading anything in the papers. Is it that shop-keepers agitation ?
@Kat : Thanks.
Ahh!! Why ? Are you poisonous too ?

Thanks

I find this extremely insulting and demeaning ... yadda ... yadda ..

Anyways, there was this poster that .45 had made up. It had a huge jar ( of oosquai ) with a quote "Accept it. Not all maidens are as pretty as Aviendha" or something to that effect. This could be a good idea.

Umm ... another thing, I took my GRE y'day and scored 1330/1600

Well she has afterall directly or indirectly killed two of the forsaken. While this hawkwing person just scurried about with large armies calling himself a king, yet he is honored as one of the worlds greatest heroes.
Welcome to the High security facility Tosh

Yep, I always think that's what will happen after she dies at tarmon gaidon. Her role in helping the dragon this time around should atleast warrant as much.
.... or I may be prejudiced

-
You mean use the other end?

Ah, somebody who thinks as dirtily as I do .... atleast using it as an accessory

@Marie :
Maybe this thread can be shifted elsewhere if things get out of hand. -
I confess I still like rand .... maybe not as much as when he was a simple sheepherder.
I like Mat the best among all male roles and Mo the most among all female roles.
I do find Nyn intriguing ...

@Laura : That's nice

@Jan : Ok.

What exactly do you do Laura ?

Moiraine's image in the new layout's header has different coloured eyes. Was it designed that way on purpose ?

The moiraine pic in the header of the new layout has different coloured eyes.
