Guest Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I do not like what Christmas has become for so many. It should be just a time of Prayer and thanksgiving for the coming of our Saviour. The rest of the partying and expense and pressures is nonsense i could well do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited one other for a short time, but it appeared to be hijacked by the same few people arguing relentlessly. I have noticed here that the vast majority of the space goes to the same couple of topics with the same actors repeating the same scenes. I admit to have jumped in in order to---well straighten them out. LOL But its getting old real fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very strange to me in different ways...so much potential for edification and so much potential for damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that you are in the uk. In the us we have a thanksgiving holiday just prior to the Christmas season. So for me, we have that day as a day of thanking the Lord. That day is special for me. I view the Christmas season as a time for family. We do not spend heavily during that time nor do we go wild with social commitments. We do things together, view displays etc as a family. 29 minutes ago, BeauJangles said: It does here too. A somewhat older term for us, though.

It is very strange to me in different ways...so much potential for edification and so much potential for damage. basically you learn what to involve with and what not. There seems to be a group of Seventh Day Adventists who take turns coming by to teach us all to be Sabbath Worshipers.... been going on for years.... I personally just post my thoughts and let it go for you can't convince them of anything other than what they have been taught. I do feel obligated to post my thoughts one time just for the newer people who come by and read..... I don't know why but I just had the thought I could just save the old posts and copy paste them. Like everyone I do have my buttons but they usually concern with people saying a simple prayer can help someone is serious involvement within the dark side of the world. Realistically that very seldom works. Other than the frivolous threads like the derailing and animal thread, once they reach 100 posts I rarely read them at all. That's usually just a few people arguing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
