I did a study on the sunday blue laws a while back, I don't remember all of the specifics but from what I remember, the Anglicans especially upheld these laws and put people in prison and even killed them for not keeping Sunday holy. (sounds real Christian, right?) Unfortunately, this led to further prosecution of our Jewish immigrants so I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who did away with them for the most part and a 5 day work week was established in general to accomodate both the Christians and the Jews. This country is founded on freedom of religion, not forced religious beliefs. Those who want to be holy have complete freedom to do so in the manner that they choose.

I meant Jefferson did away with the prison and killing part. LOL! The SDA's believe there will be a National Sunday Law where people who believe as you do will force everyone to worship on Sunday or die. They think that is the Mark of the beast. Pretty wild hu? Guess they haven't considered that 1/4 of the world is now Muslim and they would rather blow up the planet than worhip on Sunday, or Saturday for that matter. Ya know, Andy Griffith and them don't sing all that well. I'd hate to be a member of that church singing "Bringing in the Sheaves" every week!

I remember the blue law! Nothing was open! And nobody complained 'cause that was the way it was. It was taken for granted. Like leaving your doors unlocked. And praying in school. And NO underwear was shown on your black and white t.v. You didn't even see married couples in the same bed on t.v. And it wasn't popular to be gay. Life was a lot simpler and a lot slower. And Sunday was for family and God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear wordsower, If they believe as "I do", then they wouldn't "force" anything! I don't think you're hearing me too well?

They are truly nuts. Not amusing when you are a kid and told you might be put in a concentration camp and have your finger nails ripped out because you keep the "true" Sabbath, Saturday. I agree we are not on the same wave length, but that's ok, we're still headed in the same direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shadow2b Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 we used to know a guy that really liked to fight,hated cops, the sheriff would send 4 or 5 deputies to arrest him, he would punch out the deputies & throw them thru the nearest window or door, then wait till they woke up & walk along side of the squad car to jail,would not ride in the car ever.wellll he got saved started preaching & would ask his old drinking buddies to church on sunday morning & if they didn't showup he'd go knock on their doors & ask them again.if they didn't agree to go he would beat the devil out of them throw them in his car & take them to church preach to them then take them home after church Surely that's not what you think I'm talking about?
