I'm back, and survived the plane flight!!
by ScoobySnax injust got back from corfu today, naturally looking like a bronzed adonis.. even the plane flight wasn't as bad as i thought, even though it was a bit bumpy on the ride home.
hired a car and saw some of the island, beautiful scenery, sandy beaches, secluded coves, olive groves and historical monuments.
the greeks are such fantastically warm and friendly.

I'm not talking about structure. I'm not talking about religion. I'm not talking about learning.
I'm talking about routine that has become ritualistic. As in some of the examples I sited earlier. Or as Dictionary.com says: "A state or condition characterized by the presence of established procedure or routine."

Yeah Rocketman, that counts! That's exactly what I was referring to. Or like Happyout's bedtime stories. Or Joanna's "Uncle Moe's Tree Farm" visits. Or like, every Sunday morning we always have waffles. Or, every Saturday morning Dad takes the kids fishing and always stops at the same bait store and tells jokes to the same clerk, and we always buy salt and vinegar chips and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Dr. Pepper to snack on in the boat. That kind of thing.
Routine occurances that have transcended "routine" and become "ritual". I'm not referring to anything to do with religion.

LL, thanks for the definitions. My question most closely relates to "ritual" definition 2/2/c. You're right, perhaps routine is a better word, however "ritual" seems to capture the more subtle sense. In other words, I'm wondering if children need a sense of 'ritual" in their "routines".

Raised a JW... did you have a childhood?
by ignorance is strength inpersonally i was quite serious at a young age.. there was no "boys will be boys" growing up.
personally i feel kind of cheated out of a childhood by an organization that forced you to think that "everything around you was going to be gone soon so you better grow up, start publishing, and giving talks.
" did any of you experience a less than stellar childhood, especially because of the lack of holidays and socially-isolating religion gowing up?
