POPSGod's ADA Policy.... from Leviticus Apparently, a careful reading of Leviticus reveals an exemption from the American Disabilities Act for churches. This newly found exemption excludes vision impaired, mobility impaired, and persons with skin and nose disorders on the basis of being "profane". This is good news for growing mega-churches across the United States, as those pesky ADA guidelines whittle down their building funds.

POPSPrivate Benjamin Or GI Jane? Brutal Bridal Boot Camp First we're all measured and weighed. I'm here for one reason only - to look my best in my wedding photos. However, my BMI (Body Mass Index) is just about spot on as I'm 5ft 3in and 8 stone, so I'm told I might struggle, having less excess fat to draw on for energy. dinner is made up of strictly controlled (ie meagre) portions of soup, a small piece of salmon and a few strips of vegetable. The hard work starts tomorrow with circuit training on the lawn at 6am sharp. I turn in feeling hungry and anxious. Standing on the scales on the final morning, I've lost five pounds, and an inch from my thighs and hips. One of the other girls has lost a whopping 12 pounds and dropped not one, but two dress sizes. The Camp gave me the bridal body I had hoped for, and equipped me with the know-how to stay trim well into my married life. But most impressive of all, I survived the week.
