*SNEEZES"...Should I say Bless You???? lol (page 3)

In Italy they say, salute (sa lu' tay) which means "GOOD HEALTH". I read above that the german translation is the same. I wonder what other countries say>

Gesundheit meant..."God Bless you"? It doesn't? I will have to look that up!

Also..bless you is from "God Bless you".

I asked J W hubby (Who had a good day today!)and he said..."Because you aren't supposed to "Bless" somebody!...(Course he was walking in his sleep... So I told him I want an answer tomorrow!..

To furthur this along...One time a while back I told somebody "Good Luck" in front of my JW Mother -in-law..and she promptly corrected me in front of everone (She loves to do that) and said..."Good Fortune" not "Good Luck "....I'm still trying to figure out the difference?...Anyone??

demons can occupy your soul.

Behold Lord Ganesh, the God of Good Fortune. Guess JW can't say "good fortune" anymore.

I don't see anything wrong with it. The important thing however is to let them know if they need to wipe thier nose afterward.

I always thought it was due to the superstition angle. When I sneezed at work and someone said it I would just say thank you. If they would sneeze I would say nothing. The next time I sneezed they would say nothing. It's just something that has no point. If someone tripped would you say it? Got a paper cut? If someone were to say it at the meeting they would definately be looked at strangely at the very least.

I remember early in my attempted barinwashing bible studies, someone sneezed and I of course said, 'god bless you' and everybody just starred at me like I had green goo all over my face. I think it's rude not to say it.
