99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.

the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.

if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

I will donate my corpse to science. I had a cousin who was an oncologist who convinced me of this.

Then I hope my family and friends have a party with my favorite food and they laugh and tell lots of stories.

in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

I love love love boxers. So smart and so communicative!

My best friend has a cane corso, an Italian mastiff. He is interesting...a bit aloof, but always on call as a guard dog. I like Rotts also.

small dogs, love the personality of dachshunds.

it is xmas time and perfumes and colognes are on the list.

what do you really love for a scent if you were being given a gift?.

Dagney

Speaking of weird, I've been wearing a fragance I bought from a gift shop in Oregon. I don't remember who makes it, but it's aroma is "Tabac." It's pretty earthy and I mix it with musk some days. It's sort of earthy and I like it for some reason.

I understand the video is not AAWA. But prominent members, and board members post pictures and videos of themselves giving the middle finger outside of KH's? Didn't they post videos at Bethel mocking them because they asked for a new Bible and received one? Among other things...just what I remember. I mean...it is attitude...right?

Oh sheesh...I'm remembering more now...

Mommy says no Christmas

by Anony Mous in

daughter is 3 now, that's a little less than i've been on this forum.

you can find my life story in earlier posts.

enough to say that i have a generous amount of visitation with her.. i picked her up and was talking about the lights some of her neighbors had.

Dagney

I would explain to her that Xmas is about giving to others and thinking about others. I'd incorporate together giving some "toys for tots," or donating at a local hospital, or some organization like that which she can see that giving to those in need is a good thing and part of the holiday celebration. Look for local needs and let her decide were to donate or volunteer. Make it routine and an enjoyable. It will help her think and reason and instill a different understanding other than "Xmas is bad. I don't want bad." It's hard to criticize doing good for others.

Good luck!

Randy Watters and I met up at the showing of this movie last summer. I think it is really well done and informative. Can't wait for the wide distribution of the movie.

Gregorio nails it in the Huff Post article above.
