A "get" is a religious divorce, similar in practical function to a Roman Catholic annulment. Some men refuse the give the "get" out of spite. And so out of mistaken "goodness", things like the kidnapping plot you cited make complete sense to unsaved (and sometimes saved) people. <br /><br />And good for Carrie Fisher!!!<br /><br />Happy Christmas to you and your family.<br />AlecAlechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825239050486476125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246295430976433070.post-1837956121387706912015-12-19T08:34:50.745-07:002015-12-19T08:34:50.745-07:00The time of Jesus' return is getting closer by...The time of Jesus' return is getting closer by the minuteGlenn E.
