If a kindergarten student/kid failed kindergarten - they are not threatened
to be incarcerated or "eliminated."  I see the Relief Goddess Office, its
responsibilities (n' such) as a job - not a school.

If we split hairs, then I don't disagree with you at all (about the
sisterhood).  But, I can't justify what I see AMG (and its characters) as,
because they really are personal views - questions?  Read Growing Pains <big

The connections between Skuld, Urd, and Belldandy and different from
