| De-ah-nah User ID: 89439 12/10/2006 03:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They can't kill the Spirit of Christmas Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65489using the word kill in the same sentence as spirit of christmas seems somehow ..... quite fitting. Does it fit you? i fail to see your point. what i do see is that more people have been killed in the name of religion, or in the name of god, than for any other reason. it's sort of the ultimate excuse to kill. to say that there's a god in the sky who's telling me that you're an infidel and i should kill you is certainly the strongest argument that could be made. without that kind of supernatural rationale, the world would be much safer. Killing in the name of false gods...Is insane.. Jesus taught just the opposite |
| Redheaded Stepchild User ID: 160010 12/10/2006 04:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Rabbi demanded he be allowed to erect an Eight foot menorah, AND have a LIGHTING CEREMONY... Quoting: know_oneand under the first amendment, he _has_ that right, or don't you believe in the rights of others?? Hey, FAT KAT, how can this be a First Amendment issue? He was offered a place for his Menorah and that means his Rights were not abridged. Wanting the ceremony is the big question. If there was a big religious ceremony when the Christmas decorations were installed, then the Rabbi has a point. If there were no cermonies, the Rabbi is asking for SPECIAL treatment. "Until you are willing to organize your friends and neighbors and literally shut down cities - drive at 5mph through the streets of major cities on the freeway and stop commerce, refuse to show up for work, refuse to borrow and spend more than you make, show up in Washington DC with a million of your neighbors and literally shut down The Capitol you WILL be bent over the table on a daily basis." Karl Denninger Don't blame me; I voted for Ron Paul. Silence is consent. |

Quoting: De-ah-nahCan it be determined what really originated the use of the pine tree in celebrating the birth of Christ? and/or Could there be a connection between the pine tree and the pineal gland? Seems so much has got purposefully mixed up lost and over time. Just made me wonder as heaven is within The pine shaped pineal gland being our pscho/physiological connection to Christ. And as being attacked on so many different levels outrightly, symbolically and subliminally.. Who knows... Don't matter.. They can't kill the Spirit of Christmas No matter how hard they try.. ![]() Dee, this is a brilliant correllation, I think you're on to something here ! <<< !! VIVE LA RESISTANCE !! >>> |

In my meanderings thinking on the pine/pineal connection Quoting: De-ah-nahI found some interesting stuff about ancient pine trees, that is the resin of fossilized prehistoric pine trees. It is noted the resins exert a positive influence on the endocrine system, our spleen and heart. Also these resins are noted to be healing, soothing, harmonizing and electrically alive with solidified golden light. Stabilizes kundalini awakening. Activates altruistic nature. Spiritualizes the intellect. Chakras: navel, solar plexus, crown. Also said.. This resin or amber gemstone once it's made into goblet will not only detect, but burn away any poison it contains. When burned, it still gives off a pine scent (50 million years later!) Oh, Christmas Tree! You sure have some amazing properties. <<< !! VIVE LA RESISTANCE !! >>> |

I read and commented on several of the pineal gland thread, and it has become increasingly clear over the past few days of research that the grandest subversion of man has been purpetrated by suppressing Quoting: Dufontaine nli 98506the significance of our pineal and it's connection to All That Is. I urge GLPers to read the latest archived pineal threads (Shamanism & the Pineal, Christianity & the Pineal, Flouridation & the Pineal). Merry Christmas!!!! aha, there's a deeper connection for sure.... I love it ! <<< !! VIVE LA RESISTANCE !! >>> |

| The Monk User ID: 168003 12/10/2006 04:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.king5.com] Quoting: BlueDolphinFrankly this is BS.... This airport has been hosting this SEASONAL CHRISTMAS TREE display for over a decade...Yes it's SEASONAL, the Season being Christmastime ! Regardless if you are religious or not, that is what this time of year is commonly referred to, since this is America, and hypocrisy notwithstanding, we identify ourselves as a PREDOMINANTLY Christian nation, hence,the main Holiday is Christmas, and hence, the brightly decorated Evergreens are known as Christmas trees, not friggin' "Holiday" trees ! The Rabbi demanded he be allowed to erect an Eight foot menorah, AND have a LIGHTING CEREMONY... I could see his reasoning if the Trees were adorned with Nativity scenes and Religious symbolism, and had been installed with some blessing ceremony by a Priest or Minister but they were NOT < they were simply bedecked with bright baubles and festive ribbon, all simply very cheerful-like and religion NUETRAL >>> ! But now because of his unreasonable complaints, now there are NO representations of this SEASON on display at this Seattle WA. airport, for fear of an irate synagogue descending on the place ! ALL THE TREES HAVE BEEN REMOVED > Growing up in the ethnically and religiously diverse culture of NYC, my Jewish friends confided that they were jealous of us cause Christmas was such a way better celebration..... um hum, jealous Rabbi, there ya go ! Any how you cut it, it's ridiculous that the airport gave in to his demands. PS, I don't intend for this to be a Jew bashing thread, but what that Rabbi orchestrated is just fucked up imo. Now all the air-travelers are deprived of some harmless visual cheer, not to mention that awesome smell of Evergreens.... more stupidity of "political correctness" run amuck !! edit--> and sure there could have been a Menorah displayed too, MINUS the Rabbis ritual! Save that for the place of worship Haha. The guy running the airport obviously wanted to stick it to Rabbi so he decided to strip the airport of all decorations and let the wrath of the public fall on the Rabbi. Pretty obvious to me anyway. |

| The Grinch who tried to steal User ID: 168007 12/10/2006 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Human beings are unique animals because they can choose to learn unconditional love. The problem is that many of them have chosen to have unconditional love of money and power. The Rabbi must be a miserable person if he has to spoil the spirit of the season by playing Ebenezer Scrooge. So in the true Spirit of Christmas, to love your fellow man including your enemy, send the Rabbi a Christmas card. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 168008 12/10/2006 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Santa clause, St Nick, yule logs, Father Christmas, cutting down trees, are not symbols of Christianity. The Holy Bible is the symbol of Christian, read what it says about the Christmas custom. Jeremiah 10 1 Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 4 They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Is Christmas Christian? Or an ancient pagan ritual? [link to www.dccsa.com] [link to www.angelfire.com] The strange christmas costom all over the world. Norway. Norwegian children always remember a little gnome Nisse at Christmastime. He guards all the farm animals, and he plays tricks on the children if they forget to place a bowl of special porridge for him. Norway has its gift-bearing little gnome or elf. Known as Julebukk or "Christmas buck," he appears as a goat-like creature. Julebukk harkens back to Viking times when pagans worshipped Thor and his goat. During pagan celebrations a person dressed in a goatskin, carrying a goat head, would burst in upon the party and during the course of evening would "die" and return to life.

The Descendants of Ancients who still live undisturbed in the Siberian forests of Russia, intimately know of and make good use out of these special Trees, honoring them and harvesting them for their healing abilities, such as as using their nuts for food, oils for salves, and carved necklaces made from the Wood which have been shown to connect and ground the Wearer with the power of the Earth and maintain Wellness ~ many many things to learn about the amazing powers of Trees...Evergreens in particular...

| BlueDolphin (OP) User ID: 167995 12/10/2006 05:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FOR THE RECORD >>> I would like to say that the EXTREME position of intolerance adopted by this Rabbi is certainly NOT the position of the vast majority of Jews in this Country, just as the Bible thumping narrow minded abortion clinic Crazy is not representative of the vast majority of Christians either, or the suicide bomber indicative of the mindset of the majority of Muslims... etc etc. you get the picture. It's just so unneccessary when someone has to go out of their way like this to trample on the expressions of others, all in the name of their own right to expression... ALSO FOR THE RECORD >>> I have nothing against Jewish people, in fact, my dearest Friend happens to have been born in Israel, and is of a Jewish background, as are many of my Friends, they are just not blind intolerant religious nuts, nor do they agreee with this Rabbi's actions either, {I discussed it with them} Diversity is a great and Beautiful reality of all the different cultures and religions on Earth...

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 65280 12/10/2006 06:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand the tree and many of the Christmas customs are pagan in origin. It is the intent and the spirit of good will that is most important. I don't agree with the management taking down all the trees. I think it's ridiculous. I think the Menorah should have put up in the area also. I don't know about the lighting ceremony; what harm would there have been? But NOT if the rabbi demanded it & threatened to sue and/or told them to remove the trees. The management capitulated to what he wanted. Didn't seem to hear any protests from the citizens from these cities? Why? Hi GREY LENSMAN [ luv your posts,even if it is CAPS ] I have a question for you. What are the red and pow envelopes the Chinese give you? And what about the green ones from the Moslems? Significance? Are they Christmas cards? {please don't laugh at me for asking this} Doesn't sound like there's a War on Christmas in Malaysia. HAPPY CHRISTMAS |
