  Went to a Catholic Funeral Today

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  1. jw

  it was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?

  does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!

  alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

  A new low in public shaming (and groveling)

  a local elderette at my former hall (the same type person who posts selfies while out in "service") posted this public admonishment.

  the responses are so pathetic.

  these are all adults, but they still act like scared children:.

  "Why I don't like people coming to my door, selling religion"

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is from a blog, "news from me" that i read fairly regularly.

  mark evanier is, among other things, a comic book writer (co-writer for "groo-the wanderer), a television writer, a great raconteur, and was a close person friend of jack kirby, one of the world's greatest comic book artists.he got an email from a jw trying to explain why they come to his door.evanier's answer is well thought out, and should explain to even the densest j-dub why people really don't like being bothered.

  maybe his correspondent will take it to heart, but probably not.

  And, so, someone from my age group just dropped dead...

  well, not at first, but the brain damage had been done, and he would have been on a machine for the rest of his life.i figure he was about 55. that ain't old, folks!but, not to worry.

  when i was a child, i was told on good authority that i would never grow old in this system of things.

  i imagine he was told the same thing.

  i patiently waited for my old username to work again, but since it seems it never will, i just added a "2" to my original name, and gave up all aspirations for continuing my "jedi-hood".

  sigh.

  so, hello all!.
