The Zion list is moving. Because of an unacceptable number of problems at Topica, I am moving the Zion list to SmartGroups. (http://www.smartgroups.com/index.cfm?) Also, because the software at SmartGroups will not accept a list name of only four characters, while hosted at SmartGroups the

Sorry, but your stating a specific definition does not make it so. The prophets and the scriptures tell me something different than they tell you. Good thing we have a prophet to sort things out for us! And I'll bet that GBH would not think that this specific discussion was high on his list to
