[quote name='MagiDragon' date='Sep 28 2004, 12:34 AM'] i may be wrong on this, but didn't switzerland recently join the UN? And didn't that leave only one nation that is *not* a part of the UN? And wasn't that ONE country that refused to join the UN known as The Vatican?

Of course . . . I *could* be totally off base here . . .

The UN has permanent observer status at the UN. They can't vote, but they definitely are there. So they are in the UN, but are not a member.

Also, they won't admit Taiwan because of the whole China thing.

right, but that means that they don't have to submit to any UN decisions. Honestly, that's prolly the best way to go. You don't have to pay for the bad stuff, but you can throw your weight (and if you want to, your money!) behind the good stuff. And you can always advise the nations that *do* vote.

If you want peace, work for justice.

And that starts at home, right here.

I challenge anyone to literally sell all they have & follow Christ.

Start small. Start with the video games, CDs, movies, etc. Start with your old pairs of shoes that you haven't worn since last year. Start with the clothes you used to fit in & are saving until you lose the weight you've gained.

Start small. Finish big. Let's put our $$ where our mouths are.

Man, that's why we're losing so many battles. Ghandi said they he would have been a Christian if it hadn't been for the Christians. Let's be loud. Let's be poor in materials & rich in spirit.

The Pope would love that. And would Mary. And would Jesus.

Take up your cross!
