Zachsmom | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:31 pm     ya see? I told y'all I probably didn't read the post right  |
Maris | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:34 pm     Whit he was told he can have the ritual but he is not allowed to eat anything. That is what the HGs were mad about. |
Jennywa | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:34 pm     Jee also said he was glad they were showing it-then he family could see it... |
Seanflynn2003 | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:35 pm     For those mentioning they would be making an exception for Jee, they already have made an exception for religious beliefs by allowing a Bible |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:37 pm     They allow any religious material/book.They made no exception for it. |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:38 pm     They also aren't denying him a ceremony..they are just not allowing him to eat. |
Seanflynn2003 | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:39 pm     I meant they made an exception for participating in one's religion food in ceremony for me is equivalent of allowing a Bible |
Costacat | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:40 pm     Food is an option in these types of ceremonies. The more food you have, the more you are showing respect. It's not a necessary element of his "faith" (and, in fact, this appears to be more of a Korean tradition than a Buddhist one). I don't think they've made an exception at all. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:40 pm     I actually thing BB stuck a good medium here by allowing the ceremony, but not necessarily the eating...it's the INTENT that matters. |

Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:43 pm     I think he's preparing in the picture above. |
Wendo | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:44 pm     I agree with Costacat, I don't have a problem with BB not allowing food. He's able to perform the ritual and it is the honoring of his father that is important. If Jee felt it was important to perform this ritual with food, then perhaps he shouldn't be on BB. And, as has been noted, Jee seems ok with it. |
Gidget | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:45 pm     What ever the case I wish Jee and his family peace at this moment. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:47 pm     He is lighting candles. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:48 pm     I do too Gidget, this is very touching. |
Gidget | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:49 pm     And thanks for the screen caps |
Whit4you | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:49 pm     Jee's my least fav houseguest, but I'm glad BB allowed his needs in this, and tonight he's reminding me of myself and how I handle things. Here' a photo of him preparing..

Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:50 pm     He is giving honor to his father. |
Mranon | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:51 pm     Some pictures... (I removed my trademark image from these out of respect to his family)...

Ezgoing | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:51 pm     If this is the traditional Korean ceremony, called kijesa I believe, partaking of a small sip of drink IS an integral part of honoring the deceased. Also, this form is done yearly, not just 3 years. Just to clarify that although this has its roots in Buddhism, like other posters mentioned, there are many variations. I think Jee having one sip of the beverage would not be in more violation than the accidental consumption of hard candy by Dana or the cookie by Robert. Just my opinion. |

Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:53 pm     My heart is with him. |
Costacat | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:54 pm     Can we cut down on the amount of screencaps in this thread, please? |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:55 pm     He layed this all out very carefully. He arranged the fruit and rearranged until it was perfect. |
