Bells are sometimes rung at funeral services. Ringing them occurs in three basic ways: normal ringing, chiming, or tolling. Normal ringing refers to the ringing of a bell or bells at a rate of about one ring per second or more, often in pairs reflecting the traditional "ding-dong" sound of a bell which is rotated back and forth, ringing once in each direction. "Chiming" a bell refers to a single ring, used to mark the naming of a person when they are baptized, confirmed, or at other times. Many Lutheran churches chime the bell three times as the congregation speaks the Lord's Prayer, once at the beginning, once near the middle, and once at the "Amen". "Tolling" a bell refers to the slow ringing of a bell, perhaps once every four to ten seconds. It is this type of ringing that is most often associated with a death, the slow pace broadcasting a feeling of sadness as opposed to the jubilance and liveliness of quicker ringing. Customs vary regarding when and for how long the bell tolls at a funeral. One custom observed in some liturgical churches is to toll the bell once for each year of the life of the deceased. Another way to tell the age of the deceased is by tolling the bell in a pattern. For example if the deceased was 75 years old, the bell is tolled seven times for seventy, and then after a pause it is tolled five more times to show the five. From Wikipedia under the

Why do PEOPLE think abortion is not MURDER?Check out the Videos!!! i have always found the argument for abortion from women who say things such as "my control over my body" to be so shallow and childish as to be unbelievable. The body of a baby is not her body, it is the babies body. The mother does not own the baby because in America slavery ( aka ownership of other people ) is against the law.
