This means a legitimate business meeting, not the "dog and pony show" we were subjected to on March 25th. It means:
1. Adequate childcare for those who need it for the duration of the meeting.
2. Voting on all motions by written ballot by verified members only.
3. An independent third party to moderate.
4. An independent third party to count and certify the votes.
5. No time limit on the meeting. If it runs too long, the meeting can always be recessed and continued later.

ReplyDeleteOC,
ReplyDeleteno apologies needed...I AM ultramedicated! and so am I!
Nass,
your kindness warms the cockels of my heart, and us Loneys are known for our cold cockels.
Hey, I heard some of you were going to the play next Sunday... count me in! I'll wait in the lobby. I'll be the one in the powder blue leisure suit(gold buckle) and glossy white penny loafers. Just in case someone else is wearing the same thing, my leisure suit will have the words, 'KEEP ON TRUCKIN'! printed on the back...after all, it is my Sunday best. And I've already called the church and they said it will be okay...the restraining orders have been lifted! Hooray!!
As my great grandfather(my namesake), Bill Loney Carver, used to say: "The best things in life are never free, but they sure are cheaper at a flea market". Words to live by paw paw, words to live by.

ps...how much are the tickets? and do they have a bartering system? I have a "Dogs Playing Poker" painting that ought to fetch quite a few tickets...if so, the tickets are on BillLoney!!

ReplyDeleteHaggai 2:11-14 (King James Version)
ReplyDelete11Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
True holiness is given by God but the work of men's hands are tranfered man to man, both the evil and the good that he does.
A totally depraved sinner can be baptized in water and remain unregenerate. He can tithe, give of all his worldly goods and be discipled by men. He can maintain qualities pleasing to men and by nature do all the commands of the law.
He will be destitute of that love to God which is the fundamental requirement of the law. He will maintain a preference of himself to God.
He will live a contradictory life, aware that he has no ability to change himself.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
ReplyDelete1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
The unregenerate person, though baptized in water, does not have charity and it profiteth him nothing.

ReplyDeleteIn case you missed it, I addressed your complaint on the last thread at 9:22 PM.
It IS an interesting article nbbcof. I didn't find the commentary though.
ReplyDeleteBut let me tell you something you may not know about Rick Ousley. And this is frightening! He was one of the youth camp pastors affiliated with the Student Life Camps for our kids! He was already scheduled for the camps for this spring and summer in Talledega, AL. Great mentor wouldn't you say?
These youth camps scare me. All the books from Lifeway, etc. are concentrating on teaching our kids contemplative prayer, etc. Not to mention all the other stuff going on in these camps today. But contemplative prayer is teaching them another Jesus. God help us!

Dear Solomon: I am so sorry for not getting back to you. Unfortunately my work required my talents (if you can call it that) last night. Thank you for you comments and apology. God Bless you.
ReplyDeleteIt is my prayer that not one child be hurt. Please protect those dear girls. I have 4 granddaughters and 3 grandsons; needless to say I am very protective of them. Everytime I am with them, it breaks my heart to think there are people out there that would delight in hurting them.
To my brothers and sisters: Those stats I quoted yesterday were from a conserative study. More recent studies indidcate that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys will be abused as a minor.
One last point about internet porn. Some time ago I posted about a software program call B-Safe. This is just one of many excellent programs. Wives demand your husband install it on all of your computers. Then have someone outside your home that you trust recieve the reports. Those reports indicate what sites were viewed or attempted to view. It is all about accountability. I have an accountability partner that my wife and I meet with once a month when he gets the report. Men, in your wife's eyes you will be a real spiritual hero. For some out there it will be too hard to do. There is help, please do not be afraid or proud. To those men, you are in my prayers.
I love you all and please let's all be on our guard in protecting our children.
David Brown
B Safe is a very good program.
ReplyDeleteNetMop is another program... and the kicker with it is that if you try to remove it.... no more internet access. You have to re-install windows or re-install NetMop.
Anyways... if I offended anyone yesterday, I humbly apologize. I did some thinking last night, and realize that I might have.
And on a side note... I HATE HATE HATE that stupid word verification doohickey. Hate it.
I have been following this blog since the days where it used to be on another site. I feel as if I know you all but I've been lurker and this is my first post.
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT sit in silence any longer. I am READY to fight with you others. I am sorry I didn't stand up for what I believe in earlier but after the "Worship Gaines" event on last Sunday before the meeting, it has hit the last nerve in my body. I WENT HOME CRYING....This is disgusting what is going on at our beloved Bellevue.
I saw a site where we could join to have a meeting of our own, could someone please point me to that site? I'm interested in whatever they have got going on. To the others not posting: STAND UP NOW!!!! before it's too late....PLEASE, if you love our church, we need to do something.

ReplyDeleteRomans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all [men]. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
Prudent, not deceived by subtilty! Not SIMPLE
Proverbs 14:15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent [man] looketh well to his going.
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

NASS is correct, those doohickies (known as CAPTCHAs) were created to screen out spammers who carpet bombed lists like this. The fonts vary and the letters are distorted to foil character recognition software. What makes Google's version annoying is that the verifications appear to expire. If you don't post quickly enough, the codes no good and you get to try again. I'd guess that's an additional safeguard against automatic software, which presumably would need a certain amount of time to demangle the image.

ReplyDeleteCool! Your first time? See anyone else from the blog there? (Or would you even know...)
BBC has lost another fine young man because he refused to sign the "pledge to the preacher". If he does not sign the "I will never speak of your evils" document, he will not receive his severance pay. This is not a rumor.
ReplyDeletejunk: Actually I did! And there may have been more that I didn't know. I saw at least 4 other bloggers there! Dr. Spradlin does an amazing job....and he ended the study on a cliff hanger! So, of course we'll be back next week!

Lily, Lets refer to him as a 'real man'. And lets pray for his family. I once had such a document of lies put before me, too. And I suffered financially because of it. I know what this means to him. But God is faithful.
lilly: That is so hard to believe that it is happening. *shakes head* I just can't imagine....
ReplyDeletelin: good point. He took a stand. God Bless Him.
ReplyDeleteYes, let's pray for such a fine man who would stand for what is right and not bow to serve a lowly man.
ReplyDeleteLily
ReplyDeleteYou have mail. :)
I don't know who this young man is...but God sees and God knows, and He takes care of His own.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell more about this "pledge" -- what does it say, who is being asked/told to sign it (staff? lay leaders? plain ole members?), and what circumstances led to being asked/told to sign it (required of all staff? required when a specific situation areises?), etc.?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone show us the biblical authority for such a pledge?
ReplyDeleteEZ -
ReplyDeleteYou know biblical authority does not apply at BBC these days.
De 4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
ReplyDelete4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
There is no biblical authority for a "pledge" to any man ... but it is not an uncommon practice in business and even ministries when someone is "asked to resign" that they sign a resignation letter than includes an agreement not to criticize their former employer, as a condition of receiving severance pay. (Not that it is right to make such a request if they haven't done anything to merit being let go; it's just not uncommon.)
ReplyDeleteBut I haven't heard of someone being fired or "asked to resign" because of a refusal to sign a pledge. (But the fact that I haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.)
I'm just wondering which is the case here.
Lily, can you provide more details?
Karen, Your answer is in the mail.
ReplyDeleteRomans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:
ReplyDelete9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Are we the children of the promise? Are we the "seed" of Isaac? Are we Israel? If so, are we permitted to add or take away from God's WORD?

Charlie,
ReplyDeleteDid you slip something silly in to make sure we were paying attention????
charlie,
ReplyDeleteIs that another way of saying the job is to "assimilate" all those BBC refugees who are flocking to GBC in droves?
But "vision casting"? What's that about?
Others define assimilation:
ReplyDeleteDefinitions and terms for assimilation vary. Some use the word “incorporation” as a synonym for assimilation (Anderson 135; Arn 137; Dennison Incorporation 8). Elmer Towns prefers the term “bonding” to joining or assimilating (228). Ron Jenson and Jim Stevens refer to it as “absorption.” They define absorption as “the process by which people are taken into the life of the church and by which a strong sense of identity and belonging develops” (138). This process can often be assessed by what takes place during the “length of time between the first visit and the application for membership and complete commitment to the church” (139). Rick Warren says that, “assimilation is the task of moving people from an awareness of your church to attendance at your church to active membership in your church” (Purpose 309). Others define assimilation as feeling “part of the congregation,” belonging, feeling connected, or demonstrating a sense of ownership with comments like, “this is my church,” or “he is my pastor” (Lobs 17-18). In New Member Assimilation, Joel Heck states that to assimilate means “to make similar.” “We assimilate people when we help them to acquire similar knowledge about our Christian beliefs and our congregation, similar attitudes towards Christ and His church, similar feelings of belonging, and similar patterns of behavior” (12).

Seems a little insecure, doesn't it?
Or is this pledge just an extention of "the covenant' that was described as being between SG and JP.
By the way..did anyone ever determine just what a covenant is between two men?

I will continue to pray for Bellevue and those that are staying there and fighting for it's legacy. I admire all of you.

ReplyDeleteSo...is assimilation a PDC term...?
ReplyDeleteIt is past my bedtime, but wanted to give you all a good nite laugh.
ReplyDeleteBorn a Baptist:
Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic....and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The delicious
aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest. The Priest came to visit Bubba and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."
Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and as he rushed into Bubba's yard clutching a rosary preparing to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."

You know, Rob stood up and did the right thing I don't think there should be any teasing about his new job. I know he went though a very hard time and there should be nothing but kind words about his new job. If it weren't for SG in the first place there would be nothing to assimilate and Rob would still be leading the College and Career at Bellevue extremely competently. By the way, I am new to posting but not new to reading this blog. It took me this long to figure out how to sign up! I am not very computer savvy!
ReplyDeleteA kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented his or her religion.
ReplyDeleteThe first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish. This is a Star of David."
The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic and this is a rosary."
The third student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Tommy. I am a Baptist, and this is a casserole."
I found this on vision casting:
ReplyDeleteBefore launching a capital campaign, church leaders need to seek God's guidance on a vision for expanded ministry. 'George Barna says that the number-one motivation for sacrificial giving is a compelling vision,' says Steve Johnson, director of Ministry Campaign Services in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From this compelling vision will come direction on critical questions such as: What is the new facility going to facilitate? Are there nonstructural solutions to the space crunch? And are the need and the solution compelling enough to call church members to sacrificial giving? ....A strategic planning or envisioning process, carefully and prayerfully orchestrated, can clarify key choices and directions through assessment of ministry strengths and weaknesses, demographic analysis, member input, and church growth projections. Experts agree it is important to bring a professionally-trained facilitator from outside the congregation to assist local churches in this vision-casting process.

Lizzie,
ReplyDeleteI missed your email earlier because I had the wrong email address set in my profile. Could you please resend it to my correct address?
Folks, send the link to the petition to all your friends and family. We NEED this meeting for our beloved Bellevue.
Quick note about "vision casting."
ReplyDeleteThis is not limited to church growth, nor is it a "new thing," or new agey, or whatever.
This is simply a way to say presenting a picture before a group of people (casting a vision) so people can either get on board or not.
Happens all the time in all kinds of settings...
As with all things, I'm sure it can be abused to manipulate people, but in and of itself, it's a-ok.
SickOfTheLies,
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS YOU!
Before I could become a Baptist, I had to sign a loyalty pledge to "FRIED CHICKEN"!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemomliving4him,
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you!! and may God bless you too !!!
:)
Thank you, Sickofthelies! As I posted earlier, I've been reading since the days of the "old" blog and I feel like I know a lot of you people here!
ReplyDeleteYou've been through a lot and I applaud you're strong fight for the truth! We need more people like you.
momliving4him,
ReplyDeleteThank you for requesting support for this petition.
Also, if anyone is unsure about where their friends or family stand on the issues at Bellevue and do not what to offend them or risk straining a relationship please send their e-mail address to me at timfrombbc@yahoo.com. You can rest assured that "the tool man" will make sure that they receive it.
I first tried to sign up to blog in Dec, but thought I had failed so I gave up. I tried again today and realized I did do it right and could have been posting all along. Pretty soon I will need my toddler to explain these things to me!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTim,
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for #1 - starting the petition, and #2 looking out for our relationships.

Jesus Christ is the reason I am sitting here today. He has been SOOO faithful to me...He has never let me down.
I am NOTHING without HIM!!
Doreen,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what a blog was before this! I still post my comments twice accidently most of the time.
One tiny comment. Absolutely not meant to be ugly at all but must say.....
SG is not qualified to be the pastor at BBC
and he has managed to rip our foundation and heritage to shreds BUT,
he is not the sole problem with BBC
There are core spiritural problems that maybe wouldn't have shown themselves so clearly to the regular person like myself, without SG.
That mature Christians, deacons as a whole,
( not the few ), SS clases,others,
that are suppose to KNOW scripture well enough (and fear God more than man) did not take a stand early on is a big red flag.
Why do some wait for a grieving widow or any one else to stand first.
MS is one of the finest ministers around and we know how wonderful the music is with JW. I wasn't paying attention when GTB went thru their split but looks like they dug their heels in at the right time.
gmommy
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right!! SG could have never gotten away with his shanigans were it not for people who are not spiritually discerning, and chose to stick their head in the sand rather than to THINK.
I have been so disappointed in some people that I THOUGHT I knew.
I have also made MANY MANY new friends and I must say that I have grown as a Christian from reading this blog and learning. It has challenged me to understand about the PD movement, Warrenism, etc.
My eyes have been opened.
OFFLINE, folks
ReplyDeleteHave a good night.

How The Purpose Driven Life Obscures The Gospel and promotes forbidden Divination/mysticism among other things.
ReplyDeletePDC OBSCURES THE GOSPEL AND PROMOTES DIVINATION
Isaiah 64:6-8 (King James Version)
ReplyDelete6But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Do a word search of filthy rags and see what God thinks of the best of your righteousness! You will be offended.
ReplyDeleteIf God thinks this of the best of our righteousness, are there words to describe what he think of the apostate?

momliving4him and lilly,
ReplyDeleteYou've got mail.
watchman,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that video. David Wilkerson sure is blast from the past for me. I remember reading "The Cross and The Switchblade" when I was in high school. I always thought he was "cool" hanging out with gangs.
karen
Watchman,
ReplyDeleteGreat Video. Thanks for sharing.
Karen, it was blast from the past for me too. I loved The Cross and the Switchblade when I was young. We went to New York last year and stayed across the steet from where Dave Wilkerson's church is. I think it was an old theater. We were leaving before Sunday, and were disappointed we wouldn't have a chance to hear him preach.
Junk99mail said,
ReplyDeleteThere is no biblical authority for a "pledge" to any man ... but it is not an uncommon practice in business and even ministries when someone is "asked to resign" that they sign a resignation letter than includes an agreement not to criticize their former employer, as a condition of receiving severance pay. (Not that it is right to make such a request if they haven't done anything to merit being let go; it's just not uncommon.)
I agree with you Junk. A normal "business" practice. And every business needs "merchandise" right?
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Brings tears to my eyes...

watchman,
ReplyDeleteWell, just make me cry at work, why don't ya? I had to get a Kleenex! I remember that time so well - my ex husband was in the Navy (in Japan) at the time of the 1st Gulf War and I remember being on the road to the Navy base taking him a care package to get mailed. They announced on the radio that the Gulf War had started and I just had to pull off the road for a few minutes to get my bearings. It was a very strange time - more security on bases, more wariness in the eyes of the wives, just a general unrest. But wonderful memories as well - military familes and wives were treated VERY well in California - lots of free tickets to events, lots of sympathetic eyes, discounts on telephone calls, etc. Gotta love it!

ReplyDeleteDear Arminius,
ReplyDeleteI know what you are reacting against, but don't despair. Even my 3yo can tell the sales clerk, "Bunnies have live babies, Ma'am. They DON'T bring eggs! Do you believe in Easter?" If the nice lady says, "No," my little one will start in trying to explain...

Arminius -
ReplyDeleteAre you joking? The piano music was a little strong on the web site, but I didn't have a problem with the ideas. A few years ago when I was teaching one of my kid's SS class, we made Resurrection Eggs. The kids loved it and it was a great way to help them remember, and share with others, what Easter is all about. The last egg is empty and represents Jesus' empty tomb- that last egg really gets to me! What a wonderful gift!
I'll make you a set!
Off early, after a rigorous morning of cankle reductions.
ReplyDeleteChecked in last night, but the tenor of discussions didn't seem fit for ol' BillLoney...even I have discernment.
It seems I misread the dates concerning the play...I guess we wont be getting together after all...unless... yall want to get together this weekend for a picnic...the market near my upstairs garage apartment had a sale on potted meat and vienna sausages...I had a coupon, so I bought 3 cases of each...how 'bout it? You bring your own sporks and I'll bring the crackers (and tic tacs).
It's an old Loney tradition to dye vienna sausages and hide them in the grass...eat what you find! After that, we'd all gather around the tub of potted meat and dunk for gristle...sorry, I'm getting teary eyed.
As my 2nd cousin, Anita Love, used to say: "you cant get too much of a good thing, unless that good thing is trichinosis"...gold, Anita, pure gold.
Anyway, let me know...my 1988 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon is out of hock, so I can drive...the A/C doesn't work, but the 8 track is raring to go...I only have one tape, the soundtrack from 'Grease', so I hope yall were 'Born to Handjive'.

ReplyDeleteThere, there Bill. Don't cry that it's over; smile that it happened.
Geez... thanks for the coke spewing moment!!!
ReplyDeletesocwork,
ReplyDeletethanks for your understanding... I often wax nostalgic over our great Loney traditions. With the passing of time, sausage hiding and the potted meat-o-dunk seemed to be less and less practiced...what are we coming to?
I guess before long, the salomi toss and the spam bake will also be things of the past.
I suppose the words of my ex-brother-in-law's 3rd cousin, once removed, Ima Luneau, are true: "whenever good people fail to observe the traditions concerning cured meats of discarded animal parts and their by-products, common sense and decency will thrive". Spoken like a true Luneau, Ima, a true Luneau.
William T. Loney, M.D.
ps...at least the time honored Loney tradition of the chicken gizzard pinata' is still observed by most...for now.
WARNING!!
ReplyDeleteIf you are emailed by a Nigerian businessman who is the executor of the will and estate of a wealthy, heirless, gold-mine owning couple who recently died in a tragic plane crash, and he wishes to give you $23,000,000 US dollars though he has never met you; DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT give him your checking/saving account numbers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers w/pin, birth certificate, and social security number. I have a growing suspicion that just maybe, he may not be on the up and up.
As uncle Cindy used to say, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 5 times by getting me to give you all my vital financial and personal information whereby you can wipe out all of my accounts and leave me virtually penniless and destitute, left to wander the streets, begging like a half blind, three legged dog, then shame on me". Preach on Uncle Cindy, preach on.

Folks,
ReplyDeleteNo need to worry about my Nigerian businessman debacle. I just found out (how lucky is this) I've won the UK lotto, and get this, I didn't even enter!
All that is needed to collect my money is for me to wire $1250 to the lotto liaison. I know, I know, where could I get that kind of money after being nearly bankrupted? Well, even as I type, I have on e-bay, my '88 country squire station wagon, my Dogs Playin' Poker painting (I found out that the dogs that converted are not these dogs), and my vast collection of leisure suits and pleather loafers, as well as my 'Joanie Loves Chachi' collectable dinner plates. After the bidding wars are over, I'll probably have enough left over to get that 'home hair cutting system' I've had my eye on. And then when I get my 340,000 pounds, somebody's getting a used vehicle with a cassette player...you only live once. BTW, how much is a pound? If that is how much the money weighs, then that's like almost a ton.
As my 'Mexico City Community College Medical School' cyber-professor, Dr. Nachos Grande, used to tell me: "Senor Loney, you will make a fine doctor once your check clears". Muchos Gracias, Dr. Grande, Muchos Gracias.

Maundy Thursday (môn'dē) [Lat. mandatum, word in the ceremony], traditional English name for Thursday of Holy Week, so named because it is considered the anniversary of the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus at the Last Supper (that is, the mandatum novum or “new commandment”). In some churches, Jesus's washing of the disciples' feet is symbolically reenacted. In Great Britain there is a survival in the distribution by the sovereign of special “maundy money” to certain of the poor at Westminster Abbey. In the Roman Catholic Church, Maundy Thursday is a general communion day; a single Mass is sung, in the evening, and a Host, consecrated for the morrow, is placed in a specially adorned chapel of repose. The altars are stripped bare until the Easter vigil mass.

Karen, et al...
Yes, I was joking of course.
Nass, if any parent were to cancel their child's Easter due to my post, your graphic would be far too kind to me! (Thank you, Lord, that I'm out of stone-throwing range!)
I hope that despite my miserable failure of an attempt to make a point, you'll at least know what I was attempting to say.
If God was able, through His people, to turn one of the most despicable of worldly celebrations into one of the most sacred, holy, and joyful celebrations of the Christian year, don't you think He can redeem anything?
The Bible says not to love the world or anything in the world. But God made the world, and can use anything in it for His glory. And His glory is the exaltation of Jesus and the salvation of His people! Everything in creation is working toward that goal, and all creation is groaning until that final day comes.
I read what 'watchman' has been posting, and that's why I wrote what I did, hoping that some people would see how ridiculous legalists can be. These grace killers have been having a field day around here.
Do you see how silly my complaint against Easter is? How ludicrous? Will you let these men continue until you can't even enjoy going to church any more?
Think about the joyful memories from childhood that would never have happened if our Christian ancestors had not adapted the Passover to their culture. How many unsaved souls came to know Christ because those who went before were willing to engage the culture? (Not to mention all the peeps we've enjoyed over the years...)
I have a confession to make. I've been to a prayer labyrinth. (Boy, do I feel better for getting that off my chest!)
It was at a hospice, mostly breast cancer patients. These women who would soon pass away could walk down the path, which was steeped in Christian imagery, and be presented with the truths of the spiritual world. There was no new age symbology, no universal salvation, only the cross. I walked to the center of the labyrinth with an aquaintance of mine, and was able to share the gospel with her at every turn. She was never baptised unto salvation, but who can say whether she was saved through the experience? Certainly not me!
All joking aside, folks, I know you're hurting. You are still reeling from the loss of Pastor Rogers, and feel betrayed by Steve Gaines. In this condition, you are prime candidates to be led astray by the wrong kind of men. Don't listen to them. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. Don't turn on each other. The man of many friends will prove to be a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Look for him, and when you find him stay close. And let this assurance be in you, that the final victory is already won. We just need to iron out the details.
