Tim is a Christian name. Seeta is a pagan Hindu name. There's a world of difference.

I had a lot of misconceptions about Islam, but then I started reading about it and found that it was the Truth. I accepted it a few weeks ago. My fiancee Seeta still wants to be Orthodox.

I borrowed a copy of Fr. Seraphim's book yesterday from the local Presbyterian minstry college (it's part of my university). It's really interesting, and I didn't know that the toll-houses were so widely spoken of in the tradition of the Church.

Hypnosis to stop smoking doesn't always work. Apparently my father tried it years ago, but it didn't work.
