The differance is Jee's religion would never prosilitize. It would have made no differance to Jee if they didn't even mention the ceremony. He was doing it for himself and family, not in hopes someone would join his church,big differance.

Oh now look at this nice common ground that appeared while I was posting LOL...we agreed that this season of BB needs to be saved.

So shall we hold a non-denominational prayer vigil for it or is it beyond that? LOL

I think they are beyond hope. Let's take up a collection and send them all to see a shrink.

DANG BLUE...I wanted to use proselytize in my earlier post and I couldn't even spell it close enough to get my spell check to recognize it. It liked yours...now I want to go edit my post! GRRRRRRRRR

And that's very true btw...Jee did that service only for him, his family, and mostly his Dad. I hope they don't cheese it up for TV.

Lurk, I don't know how to spell too darn good but I know what I'm trying to post. Lol

Bluerose,
But he (Jee) does that exact ceremony that exact way out of doctrine and teachings. I don't read my Bible because of my neighbor, my friends or people to witness to. I read my Bible because to me it's like a long,long letter from the person I love most. If my mom or dad asked me to do something I would. That was my point I love God and I am going to do what he asks. We could all argue that all of our opinions are disgusting and arrogant, but that's what makes the US grand we have that right to choose what to believe. So, now that we all have said our points let's please not argue let's just agree that we are all comfortable with our respective beliefs. I don't want to offend anyone.

Now, next, wouldn't the BB houseguests be baffled at how much more intereting we in TVCH are than they are?

Well said Willsbills,

Just out of curiosity, I've noticed that the texts of these posts are all bold. This is the only place that is happening on my computer.

Did somebody out there make a change?

Cajun - that's happening to me too. I thought I did something to my settings and have been fooling with them. Gonna stop now. LOL

Bold here too, which given how tired I am (not to mention previously blinded by some of the small case whispering on the board earlier lol) has been good. Come to think of it this might be a good time to go to sleep :)

And I agree we are more interesting...which is why I come here more than I watch the feeds. HEY maybe Letterman will have US on

Wills, I am sorry if I offended anyone. It is just that I have traveled through many free countries, mostly Europe, and never saw the prosilitizing (sp) that goes on here in America. This is the only country that I've been where there seems to be a continual need for this type of behavior. I find it puzzeling.

I think we should call him. Or maybe they should have us waiting for Dana in the house across the lot on Wed!:))

It can be very weird how there is such little religious tolerance in the US. I think alot of times we all get our thoughts and ideas misunderstood (on the board) because it's hard to understand when you can't see or hear the person. That really goes a long way because the way a person says and acts when they are talking (Dana) really can determine how the message is recieved. I'm not offended, no worries.

LOL, Lurk, if we held a prayer vigil for BB4, we may finally have the answer to that great theological question--does God/higher power laugh?

It is fascinating how people of different beliefs express their beliefs and how much we have in common, when we go below the surface.

WOW!! I haven't seen this thread in a few days and boy has it taken off!!!

I have learned so many interesting perspectives and I think it's great that we embrace everyones differences rather than to judge them/convert them.

We all lead different paths in life and rather than be afraid or threatened by differences we should just succumb to it instead.

You have all brought a smile to my face while I caught up my reading on this thread.

You're all a WONDERFUL bunch of people!

Thanks! :-)

P.S.
This might sound vain but Jee's ceremony to his father really moved me. It would give me comfort to know someone would mourn/miss me enough to preform a ceremony. That thought alone would take away my fear of death. How vain/selfish of me to want someone to mourn me on my death anniversary.
It's interesting how cultures mourn differently. I bring flowers to a grave or just think about them on their death day. After watching Jee I really feel I should do more, but at the same time I know in my heart I am doing the same thing as him. We just do it differently. :-)

I think that one of the reasons we can have such wonderful threads like this is that we have great moderators and those of us who stay here are in agreement with their values of not bashing people.

Me too - My husband's family's church here in Mid tennessee (small country church) has a "decoration day" where family members decorate the gravesites of their dearly departed and basically just sit around the cemetary remembering and stuff, its kind of neat - not a ceremony more like Memorial day. I had never been exposed to it (im originally from Indiana) and thought it was strange at first but actually went this year (his grandfather died last year) and was really touched.

Opps...pardon the word 'vain' used 1st in the sentence, ment it only in the second one. It was 'vain' of me to be moved. lol It was the reason why I was moved; feeling at peace with death knowing people would mourn/miss me and do some type of tradition to remember me by.

Puzzled...you are absolutely right....THANKS MODS!! YOU'RE THE BEST!! HUGS TO YOU!

(Maybe you mods missed your calling adn should become "Peace Keepers" around the world??!! I bet you could do wonders if you put your minds to it!!)

We should be seeing more bible activity now that Nathan will be on the block. Only a miracle is going to save him.

Apparently, Maris, God was only on Alison's side, not Nathan's. LOL!

Hahahahahhaaa Maris...you crack me up all the time!! I really enjoy your humour!!

Just watching BB on tv now, live on the West Coast. Just saw Julie ask Alison about her reading the bible in the house lately. Alison's reply was that it was actually helping her and giving her focus.

After she said that a light bulb sprung out of my head! We all need something to help guide us through life. It does not necessarily need to be a religion even, it can be a belief system. W

Whatever gets you through this life with
PEACE OF MIND!
