Passover is only a few days away....the true reason for the season.
Easter is a few days after that.
Who is going easter egg hunting?
Who isn't?
How are some of you going to spend that day?
Anyone(SC) going to the Chapel?

Hello Ezekiel,
Happy Passover!
Jesus IS our Passover: "For even Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us. ~ 1 Corinthians 5:7"
I wish I was going to the Chapel.But I am going to Palm Sunday Mass at a Benedictine Monastery as well as Easter vigils, where we symbolically wait in the early morning hours of the day, and listen to the Gospel reading of the events surrounding the finding of the open tomb. It is beautiful.
No Easter! No eggs, only the celebration of our risen Lord!

we celebrate easter in our worship as a day of gladness and not of sorrow. we will have communion this sunday. we do have things for the children such as egg hunts but they all now that there is nothing in the easter story about eggs. we do not have a easter bunny as we do not have a santa at christmas. we celebrate these days ONLY as a holiday and not a religious one. CHRIST IS THE ONE AT CHRISTMAS AND CHRIST IS THE ONE AT EASTER no one else.

THE CATHOLIC/SCER SMYRNA DOESN'T BELIEVE IN "EASTER". LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS ABOUT IT:
To have a correct idea of the Easter celebration and its Masses, we must remember that it was intimately connected with the solemn rite of baptism. The preparatory liturgical acts commenced on the eve and were continued during the night. When the number of persons to be baptized was great, the sacramental ceremonies and the Easter celebration were united. This connection was severed at a time when, the discipline having changed, even the recollection of the old traditions was lost. The greater part of the ceremonies was transferred to the morning hours of Holy Saturday. This change, however, did not produce a new liturgical creation adapted to the new order of things. The old baptismal ceremonies were left untouched and have now, apparently, no other reason for preservation than their antiquity. The gap left in the liturgical services after the solemnities of the night had been transferred to the morning of Holy Saturday was filled in France, Germany, and in some other countries by a twofold new ceremony, which, however, was never adopted in Rome.--

CONTINUED:
First, there was the commemoration of the Resurrection of Christ. At midnight, before Matins, the clergy in silence entered the dark church and removed the cross from the sepulchre to the high altar. Then the candles were lit, the doors opened, and a solemn procession was held with the cross through the church, the cloister, or cemetery. Whilst the procession moved from the altar to the door, the beautiful old antiphon, "<font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font> Rex gloriae", was sung, the first part softly (humili ac depressâ voce), to symbolize the sadness of the souls in limbo; from Advenisti desiderabilis the singers raised their voices in jubilation whilst the acolytes rang small bells which they carried.
When the procession returned, in many churches the "Attollite portas" (Ps. xxiii) was sung at the door, in order to symbolize the victorious entry of Christ into limbo and hell. After the procession Matins were sung. In later centuries the Blessed Sacrament took the place of the cross in the procession. This ceremony is, with the approval of the Holy See, still held in Germany on the eve of Easter with simpler ceremonies, in the form of a popular devotion.

Second, the visitation of the Sepulchre. After the third lesson of the Nocturn two clerics, representing the holy women, went to the empty sepulchre where another cleric (angel) announced to them that the Saviour was risen. The two then brought the message to the choir, whereupon two priests, impersonating Peter and John, ran to the tomb and, finding it empty, shoed to the people the linen in which the body had been wrapped. Then the choir sang the "Te Deum" and the "Victimae paschali". In some churches, e.g. at Rouen, the apparition of Christ to Mary Magdalen was also represented. Out of this solemn ceremony, which dates back to the tenth century, grew the numerous Easter plays. (Nord-Amerikanisches Pastoralblatt, Oct., 1907, p. 149, has a long article on these two ceremonies.) The Easter plays in the beginning used only the words of the Gospels and the "Victimae paschali"; in the course of development they became regular dramas, in Latin or vernacular verses, which contained the negotiation between the vender of unguents and the three women, the dialogue between Pilate and the Jews asking for soldiers to guard the Sepulchre, the contest of Peter and John running to the tomb, the risen Saviour appearing to Magdalen, and the descent of Christ into hell. Towards the end of the Middle Ages the tone of these plays became worldly, and they were filled with long burlesque speeches of salve-dealers, Jews, soldiers, and demons (Creizenach, Gesch, des neuen Dramas, Halle, 1893).
(SINCE THIS SAYS THE PLAYS BECAME "WORLDLY", I WILL ASSUME PREVIOUS THEY WERE SANCTIONED BY THE CHURCH.)

The procession combined with the solemn Second Vespers of Easter Sunday is very old. There was great variety in the manner of solemnizing these Vespers. The service commenced with the nine Kyrie Eleisons, sung as in the Easter Mass, even sometimes with the corresponding trope lux et origo boni. After the third psalm the whole choir went in procession to the baptismal chapel, where the fourth psalm, the "Victimae paschali", and the Magnificat were sung: thence the procession moved to the great cross at the entrance to the sanctuary (choir), and from there, after the fifth psalm and the Magnificat were sung, to the empty sepulchre, where the services were concluded. The Carmelites and a number of French dioceses, e.g. Paris, Lyons, Besançon, Chartres, Laval, have, with the permission of the Holy See, retained these solemn Easter Vespers since the re-introduction of the Roman Breviary. But they are celebrated differently in every diocese, very much modernized in some churches. At Lyons the Magnificat is sung three times. In Cologne and Trier the solemn Vespers of Easter were abolished in the nineteenth century (Nord-Amerikanisches Pastoralblatt, April, 1908, p. 50). Whilst the Latin Rite admits only commemorations in Lauds, Mass, and Vespers from Wednesday in Easter Week and excludes any commemoration on the first three days of the week, the Greek and Russian Churches transfer the occurring Offices (canons) of the saints from Matins to Complin during the entire octave, even on Easter Sunday. After the Anti-pascha (Low Sunday), the canons and other canticles of Easter are continued in the entire Office up to Ascension Day, and the canons of the saints take only the second place in Matins.

THERE IS MORE, BUT I THINK THIS SUFFICES TO MAKE THE POINT. THE CHURCH SMEARNA CLAIMS WAS THE FIRST AND ORIGINAL CHURCH FROM WHENCE ALL OTHER CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS CAME, HE SHOULD DECIDE WHETHER HE IS JUST IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO CHANGE IT, OR IS HE JUST A HYPOCRIT AND A TROUBLE-MAKER?

THIS IS WHAT THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA SAYS ABOUT THE TRADITION OF THE EASTER EGG:
Easter Eggs
Because the use of eggs was forbidden during Lent, they were brought to the table on Easter Day, coloured red to symbolize the Easter joy. This custom is found not only in the Latin but also in the Oriental Churches. The symbolic meaning of a new creation of mankind by Jesus risen from the dead was probably an invention of later times. The custom may have its origin in paganism, for a great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. Easter eggs, the children are told, come from Rome with the bells which on Thursday go to Rome and return Saturday morning. The sponsors in some countries give Easter eggs to their god-children. Coloured eggs are used by children at Easter in a sort of game which consists in testing the strength of the shells (Kraus, Real-Encyklop die, s. v. Ei). Both coloured and uncoloured eggs are used in some parts of the United States for this game, known as "egg-picking". Another practice is the "egg-rolling" by children on Easter Monday on the lawn of the White House in Washington.

Why can't Godchild find something to write that she knows about?
I love the way Godchild uses the Catholic encyclopedia as if it were proclamations by the Magisterium!
In nay case, in this instance, it basically agrees with Pastor Murray's opinion about the subject.
If she really watched the program rather than listening to rumors, she would know what Pastor Murray really says about it.
In any case, I really enjoyed the Palm Sunday Mass, and there was NOTHING in the Mass that clashed at all with Chapel teachings, as they read straight out of the Bible, the Gospel account of the entry into Jerusalem, just as Pastor Murray reads it.
Too bad poor Godchild is such a sociopath, she can't emotionally handle being in a Church. She can't agree with any of them on anything. She has her own religion. Maybe she can call it Whackoism!http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/rofl.gif
Yes, I sure wanted to join Ter, Abiyah and the others at the Chapel, but I just got in from work early Friday, and my schedule is set in place way in advance, so I would not have had time to travel. This time I was in Aransas Pass.
Outstanding fishing!
But to those who are attending: Get some pictures of the Church! (even though you can see it every day on the Chapel program!)

Funny how Godchild finds so many things wrong with so many things that are Christian.
From Catholic ceremonies to denying satan exists, to even casting doubt on the Virgin birth, it's like what? Does she believe or accept anything?
She won't go to any Church, she thus refuses Jesus's commandment to "Do this in memory of Me"
(Good going, Arron, you take communion)
Plus, as I said before, she is so busy ranting and raving about me, she completely misses what I had to say about the issues she keeps raising, which she would not have to raise if she quit listening to herself. But I don't owe her any explanation, so she can jsut keep on ranting and raving.
She's an idiot,and just looks more foolish with each post she makes.
Now, like I said last week, I'm just going to go on a little fishing expedition, and when Ter and the others get back, they can join me in collecting Godchild's most ridiculous posts, as well as Frankie's.
The Shepherd's Chapel Student's thread is one of the best. It's like a treasure trove of CB's hypocrisy, lies, trickery, and shows just how ridiculous they are.
I don't care what problems they have with the SC teachings. The fact they have no problem lying, and using dishonesty and hypocrisy shows how THEIR brand of Christianity is working for them.
They say we lie, but can't prove it. They say we listen to men and not the Bible, yet they quote all kinds of sources to "prove" their Biblical interpretations are right.
They accuse, but won't offer any proof. They spread rumors, but can't tell us where they heard them. Just made up stuff, and WE can prove that!
They can't dispute our proof they are wrong, so they disappear.
Frankie is afraid to tell anyone else but sickos on the Internet about how the SC is racist. he won't contact JDL or NAACP. He knows they'll think he is cuckoo.
Goofballs, hypocirtes and cowards, and we've already proved it!

"ORGIES IN THE WOODS, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS." 'WHATS HIS/HER NAME' MUST BE TALKING ABOUT AM'S TEACHING ABOUT SATAN, ADAM, AND EVE'S ORGY IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
THE INFORMATION (FOR PEOPLE TOO DENSE TO REALIZE) I GAVE IN THE PREVIOUS POSTS ARE CATHOLIC CHURCH VIEWS. IF YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO READ MY POSTS BEFORE ON THIS SUBJECT (ONE YEAR AGO), YOU WILL SEE I STATED THE WORD EASTER IN THE BIBLE MAY WELL BE A REFERENCE TO THE PAGAN BELIEF OF PONTIUS PILATE. SCOOTER HASN'T SAID ANYTHING THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID ABOUT THIS BEFORE. GOOD TRY THOUGH. AT LEAST WE AGREE ON THIS. COULD IT POSSIBLY BE SCER'S HAVE LEARNED SOMETHINGS FROM WHAT WE CHRISTIANS POST? I REALLY DO HOPE SO.
I STILL LIKE TO COLOR EGGS FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN. SINCE THEY ARE OF RUSSIAN DESCENT AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER WAS RUSSIAN ORTHODOX, EACH EASTER WE BAKE KULICH (RUSSIAN EASTER BREAD); A SWEET BREAD DRIZZLED WITH WHITE ICING WITH ONE RED EGG ON THE CENTER. I THINK ITS A NICE TRADITION, AND DOUBT THE LORD MINDS BECAUSE WHEN GREETING ON THAT DAY, WE SAY UP0N GREETING ONE ANOTHER "CHRIST IS RISEN," IN RUSSIAN. THE RESPONSE IS, "YES, HE IS RISEN."

The only reason that Godchild posted her stuff about easter is to try and convince us she is "normal" and doesn't really dislike anyone who belongs to any Church.
However, if you read her posts, she has a problem with any Church, no matter what it is. That's why she doesn't belong to one, and that is why she even blows off taking Communion, even though Jesus said it MUST be done.
How can anyone listen to someone with such an extreme view of Churches? She hates them all!
She is so bent on finding something wrong, she constantly searchs for reason not to like this Church or that Church.
What a miserable existence.

And the same to you, Brother!
Now, check this gem I found on CB:
CULTBUSTERS: THEY SAY IT IS OKAY TO LIE TO "PAGANS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a copy of one of the posts from the CB thread, The Sky Is Falling! clearly the most ridiculous thread at CB.(besides the SC thread) There they play little animals, it is sad to see adults doing this. You have to read it to believe it.
Anyway, pay attention to this post:

Re: THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!
« Reply #280 on: Yesterday at 09:33:13 PM »
Hi Henny, Chick, Randy have any of you seen Mr Lurkey. He seems to keep going missing. Bet he is at that darn Foxy's place again.. I can not see to keep him away from there.
He came home last night and said he was not there but I saw drool on his head so I know he was lying. A trick I am sure he learned from Foxy! He never would have dared lie before,
but ****Foxy says it's ok to lie to pagans****.. Which all are if they are not part of the Lair, lying from the Lair, sounds like a book.
I just do not know how to keep him from Foxy.. he thinks that fox really is talking to God. Even though he can see with his own eyes that the sky is still up there and clearly not falling he believes that darn old Fox.
(By the way, "Foxy Loxy" is Franklin in this game)
Smyrna: The idea that it is okay to lie TO ANYBODY, and the fact they see us a non-Christians ("pagans")gives us the answer as to why they deliberately lie to us and about us.
They know they lie, we have shown them, they ignore the evidence, and now we know why: they think it is not a sin to lie to us.
See, this is hypocrisy also. They call us racists, they call us anti-semitic, yet they are just as prejudiced as racists and anti-semites and behave exactly the same way, because they see us as less than themselves, as superior to us.
I know, they will come back and say we claim that we are the elect, blah blah blah.
Yet,this is another lie. Only God can judge us, not ourselves. We can and do strive to be counted among the elect, but we cannot proclaim that we are. If any SC student does this, they are in error and not reflecting the teachings of the
Bible.
In any case, we can see that because we have found that they think it is okay to lie to those they see as less than themselves, we can use this always as a way to show they have NO credibility in anything they say.
I suspect that they will try and say the Fox represents false teachers in their game, etc. but the very idea that they think it is okay to lie is certainly embedded in their minds. WE have NEVER told anyone that it is okay to lie, and neither has Pastor Murray.
This is their own idea, and they practice it well.

1Ki 11:1 ¶ But king Solomon loved many strange

women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites,
Zidonians, [and] Hittites;
1Ki 11:2 Of the nations [concerning] which the
LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall
not go in to them, neither shall they come in
unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your
heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these
in love.
1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives,
princesses, and three hundred concubines:
and his wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon
was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart
after other gods: and his heart was not perfect
with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of
David his father.
<font color="ff0000">
1Ki 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the
goddess of the Zidonians</font>, and after Milcom the
abomination of the Ammonites.
6253 `Ashtoreth ash-to'reth probably for 6251;
Ashtoreth, the Phoenician goddess of love
(and increase):--Ashtoreth.
1Ki 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of
the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD,
as [did] David his father.
1Ki 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place
for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the
hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech,
the abomination of the children of Ammon.
1Ki 11:8 And likewise did he for all his
strange wives, which burnt incense and
sacrificed unto their gods.
1Ki 11:9 ¶ And the LORD was angry with Solomon,
because his heart was turned from the LORD God
of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
1Ki 11:10 And had commanded him concerning
this thing, that he should not go after other
gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
1Ki 11:11 Wherefore the LORD said unto
Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee,
and thou hast not kept my covenant and my
statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will
surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give
it to thy servant.

I don't do this myself but I know as do many other believers that folks gather for sunrise in commemoration of the "risen saviour".
Mary went to the tomb early in the morning and found it empty.
Where is the harm in commemorating such a wonderful thing as "HE IS RISEN"?

</font>As I se it, the harm is there since God separated the Israelites away from Egypt and their gods. They worshipped the 'sun'.
The Passover happens and Israel is free'd from the sun god. Remember the Passover ('tis today by the way)and don't worship God by following the example of the heathen sun worshipers.
We worship The Son....who's light was shining down on us long before their created sun god was.
Let's not mix. Christian society already mixes in the most sacred day, with chocolate eggs and bunnies... not to mention the Saviors birth celebration...turned into commercialism and santa.
We should keep the celebration true. Let's not celebrate the Egyptian gods anymore David.

Christians don't gather to worship the sun. Sunrise worship for Easter morning is in observance of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The women went to the tomb in the morning before the sun was shining. Jesus was no longer in the grave. He is risen!!!
Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord.
Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from ****tim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wil save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pra;y thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
And they rose early: and it came to pass about the srpoing of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house....
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Is anybody going to suggest that these followers of God rose up before the sun rose (which Christians who celebrate by watching a NEW day begin with the sunrise) to worship the sun. The idea is ludicrous at best, and ignorance at its worse.

Hey godchild, are you getting all ready to see photos of the SC Church you repeatedly said did not exist?
Would you once again like to see "illogical_al's" posts where he led his little discussion group to agree that satan does not exist and that Moses didn't write the Torah?
Would you like to see your own post where you deliberately cast doubt on the Virgin Birth, and attempted to use Mary's own words in the Gospel to "prove" you were right?
How about your attempt to spread a completely false and unprovable rumor that some ex-Chapel employee caught Pastor Murray "grove worshiping" in his barn. Would you like to see that placed in its proper context, which is showing how whacked out you are?
Maybe you'd also like to see your misuse of the word 'martyr', and your subsequent failed attempt to claim you were using it in "casual conversation" rather than in a "religious, academic" context, in which your attempt to use the term was actually placed.
Well, those examples of idiocy and evil will be splattered all over the pages of my website, along with so many other such examples of you, Franklin, and the other CBers and I will DEFINITELY PAY to have that URL placed on search engines and go about the Internet promoting it on all the SC and other Christian boards.

This posting of Scripture (she didn't even bother to give Book, Chpater, or Verse this time) is just another way for her to divert attention from the fact that her and her CBer buddies are too cowardly to face the fact they have been caught in lies, hypocrisy, and other deceptions, including challenges to prove their allegations, which they know they cannot do.
So now she abuses the very Word of God, using it as a smokescreen, and engaging in hypocrisy as she does so, since she is guilty of the very things she is trying to castigate us for,as she continues her dodging and deception.
It is amazing she cannot see how this looks to those reading, how it is so clear she and franklin and Arron are dodging the issues.
And have you seen the post from The Sky Is Falling thread that explains why they have no problem lying to us?
They claim it is alright to lie to "pagans" which you know they think we are!!!!!!!!
Where in the WORD OF GOD does it state that it is alright to lie to "pagans" or anyone, for that matter?

EASTER BUNNY STEW
This is a tasty stew worth rising from the dead for. You can fix this crowd-pleaser in a snap, a snap that starts when you snap the neck of a cute little fuzzy bunny rabbit. Don't waste your time at the grocery store trying to find fresh bunny though. With a stack of carrots, you can turn killing rabbits into a fun game for your children. Give each of your kids a Louisville Slugger baseball bat and teach them to club them "seal style." In this way, your children will be tenderizing the bunnies with each deadly blow.
Have your children peel off all the cute, fuzzy-wuzzy pelts of the bunnies and rip the flesh from the dead rabbit's brittle little bones. In a crock-pot, combine the hunks of bunny your children have ripped off the freshly-clubbed animal and all the other ingredients. Bring to a simmer and let simmer uncovered for ten minutes. Cover and cook over low heat for no less than four days.
Before serving, ladle a holidy glaze over the stew by heating a brick of Velveeta cheese-product with mini-marshmallows, two cups of brown sugar, a Three Musketeers bar, and a can of Diet Pepsi until they are all gooey, but not boiling. Embed two handfuls of General Mill's Trix breakfast cereal into the glaze. Voila! Easter dinner is served.

Pretty sick stuff, Dodge.
But I live in Louisiana, and they eat rabbit and hunt for them quite a bit down here. I've never eaten rabbit here at home, but I did eat rabbit in France a few years ago.
I thought it was chicken, I really did. But the cook, an Italian woman, had sauteed it and served it in a thin gravy made with the pan juices. It was very good.
I don't make a big deal about people using the word easter, because the vast majority have no idea of the origin of the word.
All gather in Church, whether they call it Easter or not, to celebrate the risen Christ.
No one that I know says: "Let's go to Church and celebrate the pagan goddess Ishtar", or worship the sun, or whatever.

The Easter Bunny died for your sins. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter, celebrating the death of our Lord by watching the Godly Fox News. Praise God over and over for His decision to appoint George W. Bush as our True Christian President! The liberals won't shut up their lies claiming that Al Gore got more votes, but, to paraphrase our Godly President, Who Cares What THEY think? Bush won legally!
Glory! Bush is bringing this nation back to the good old days, when those who weren't True Christians had sense enough to shut up about it. True Christians are in charge now! Get over it, liberal swine! Us Real Americans are patriots! And the enemies of Jesus will soon be locked up so they can't blaspheme anymore!
Soon True Christians will prove how stupid the liberals are, with their absurd "theories" about EVILution and their so-called "care" for others. Liberals refuse to realize that Religious Conservatives know what's best for everybody, and they should just SHUT UP and let True Christians go about our business!
Don't even get me started on the vile Mormons! When will everyone realize that Jesus is everywhere, except in a silly Mormon "church," that is. And I'm sick of hearing about the homosexural Cathylicks molesting boys! Jesus is crying over that. And Southern Baptists are going to eliminate sex in hotels. Praise God!
This month, make sure your children learn the Christian way to live and watch out for the liberals! WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Dodge-all-sanity,
You will have a very painful day the day you face death. Alone, bitter, and afraid.
But just to correct him, even though one never really corrects people who are crazy: Christians don't celebrate Jesus' death on Easter, we celebrate His resurrection.
And I challenge him to find any Christians who says they celebrate Easter by watching FOX News. What a moron.
This guy is so screwed up, apparently he forgot or doesn't yet realize there has been a presidential election since Al Gore ran for president.
He can't even spell Catholics right.

Did you hear that someone stole the penis from a nude, anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ? The theft was discovered early this morning by a custodian at the Lab Gallery in the Roger Smith Hotel, where the exhibition was to have taken place. Getting the details right in a correspondingly large penis takes some doing. Part of the Lord's left testicle was damaged in the theft, so his entire kit is going to have to be re-hung.
The artist, Cosimo Cavallaro, used 200 pounds of chocolate in crafting the sculpture. That works out to 35 pounds a foot. At three-quarters of a foot for the penis, were talking about twenty-five pounds of chocolate. The piece is called "My Sweet Lord." Jesus' penis was so lifelike, its eye seemed to follow you around the room. Catholic officials believe that a homosexual might have been behind the theft, the idea being that only a sexual pervert could do such a thing. I shudder to think where the Lord's member might wind up. Imagine waking up and finding that in your Easter basket.

Of course I know the true meaning of Easter. On the morning of Easter Sunday Jesus comes out of the ground. Then the preacher tells us if Jesus saw his shadow. If Jesus sees his shadow, then we all burn in hell for six weeks. Generally, it’s not much of a surprise, because the answer is almost always “Yes.”
Then we kill and eat Jesus. This sounds bad, but it’s OK—He likes it. “Take, eat—this is my body.” It’s some kind of masochistic thing. Only you just eat a little bit of Him, cause He has to last so you can eat a little of Him each Sunday until He rises again next Easter. Hey, it’s better than killing a cute, fluffy little Easter bunny who brings you eggs and candy and pretty bonnets instead of sending you to hell.
Exactly who kills Jesus seems to be a kind of an open question. It used to be that the Jews killed Jesus. Christians like Jews now, however, so somebody else has to kill The Savior. Saddam Hussein was going to kill the Lord, but he’s busy roasting in hell now. Kinky Friedman thinks it was Santa Claus. Others blame the Palestinians. Personally, I think it should be the North Koreans.
You never get filled up on Jesus though, so then everybody goes to grandma’s for a nice ham and some of those Easter eggs. It’s all good.

Wrong. The Tombs of that era were hewn into rock, just as the Gospel states. It was not "in the ground" There was no account of any shadow.
The rest of your post is too ridiculous to even address.
Why don't you go to the political forums and ask them who ran for president in the last election, it sure wasn't Al Gore.

I'm certainly not going to let my children on Easter Sunday gorge on Cadbury's marshmallow bunnies, looking for hardboiled eggs dipped in homosexually inspired colors and celebrating other godless Pagan traditions. Children of my neighborhood can't slip on their new white patent leather shoes that mommy bought them and come skipping into our Bible believing church on Easter Sunday morning. It never occurs to these sneaky little Pre-K juvenile delinquents that Jesus is going to want to smack the stuffing out of them one of these days for worshiping a rabbit.
You ShepChaps need to make it clear to your youngsters that just because Jesus doesn't run around giving your brats candy - which most of those waddling toddlers need about as much as they need to be buggered all night by a Catholic Priest - is no excuse to fill Jesus' big, "Look what I did!" day into a pack of secular Christ-hating shenanigans. Remember, if any of your brats dare bring one stomach in church this Sunday with so much as one piece of chocolate, they're in for a bigger surprise than even Jesus gets when he sees their sinning little mugs have the cheek - yes, cheek - to dare to walk amongst His anointed.

Thank you Watchman. While Pesach continues until 4/10, my seders are done.
My new seder was well received. I re-wrote my Haggadah and got multiple compliments on it. Both of the children present recited the Four Questions well, in Hebrew. I am still feasting on Pesach leftovers for lunch and I have yet to even crack open the mandel bread. This was the first seder that I put on in a long time that didn’t have any Christians there. So, I was able to go more traditional and not spend any time reviewing basic concepts.
My mother’s seder on the other hand…Oy! It was chaos. My parents each had different styles plus one of the guests attempted to lead it herself. Having three leaders attempt to lead simultaneously made for a chaotic seder. For another memorable moment, after the blessing, we ran out of horseradish. One guest was extremely put out by that and made loud (and rude) comments about it throughout the rest of the seder. Like she couldn’t eat her brisket without it being slathered in horseradish? Like the rest of us had to be continually reminded that she liked horseradish and we were out? Oy!

MY CHOCOLATE JESUS
by Tom Waites
Dont go to church on sunday
Dont get on my knees to pray
Dont memorize the books of the bible
I got my own special way
But I know jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well its got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Well I dont want no Anna Zabba
Dont want no Almond Joy
There aint nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well its the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
(solo)
When the weather gets rough
And its whiskey in the shade
Its best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But thats ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well its got to be a chocolate jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate jesus
Good enough for me
Well its got to be a chocolate jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate jesus
Keep me satisfied.

I even took Hebrew classes at Yeshiva Migdal Torah

I'm telling you and all this because I'm just trying as much as I know how, to show how I would never be a member of any organization that promotes anti-semitism. It really p's me off to keep hearing all those false allegations leveled at the Shepherd's Chapel.

Things I've learned from the Easter Bunny:
Don't put all of your eggs in one basket.
Walk softly and carry a big carrot.
Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.
There's no such thing as too much candy.
All work and no play can make you a basket case.
A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.
Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.
Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.
Some body parts should be floppy.
Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans.
The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.
An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.
To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell.
The best things in life are still sweet and gooey!

"... The liberals won't shut up their lies claiming that Al Gore got more votes"...
I have also learned from Dodge that there are
"homosexually inspired colors" and that a grown man can become obsessed with Bunny Rabbits.
I have learned from Dodge that there are people that called to be goofy, and that is why I have urged him to fulfill his calling, and go over to Cultbusters.com.au where he can be with people of
similar natures.
I have learned that Dodge is an attention starved, freaked out jerk, who actually ***thrives on posts that exhibit shock over his outrageously ignorant and anti-Christian posts.***
I suspect that he is a frustrated closet homosexual who is very angry at Christianity which he sees as the societal influence which prevents him from openly practicing his perversion.
This is why he is obsessed with thoughts of colorful easter bunnies,"homosexually inspired colors" references to homosexual pedophile priests, and may even be a victim of one, and possibly blames his own homosexuality on them.

You're so wise, Smyrna. You see, I was a Catholic nun, a deeply dedicated and religious woman who was pressured into affairs with nuns superior to me on many occasions. I don't know if this is a shock to you, but nunneries are top heavy with lesbians, many of whom force themselves on younger nuns such as myself. This has had devastating psychological effects on me, and I was left with feelings of anger, shame, anxiety and depression. It made me leave the religious life, and has resulted in my attempts at suicide. As a Catholic sister, I was violated. It wasn't only superior nuns that abused me, but the parish priests, one of whom fondled my breasts during confession. As a young girl, my uncle, who was also a priest, insisted on touching holy oil on my genital area "to keep me safe while dating." Later, my superiors forced me to attend religious retreats with my uncle. To make it worse, later on a priest-therapist who was treating me for severe depression encouraged me to become involved in "sexual experimentation." Later I began a relationship with another nun. When I was caught by the local priest, he convinced my mother and I was whisked off to a convent where I was to be saved from my wicked inclinations.
When I arrived at the convent, the Mother Superior checked me to see if I was in possession of my hymen and then asked me to describe my sins in detail to the father. My punishment was to be wrapped in thorns, locked in a box and forced to fellate the priest. After these assaults on my innocence, I ran away from the convent. I attempted to tell this to the local authorities, but I was labeled mad and returned to the convent. I was tortured and sentenced to be burnt at the stake at which time I wrote a note to God begging for His help.
This is so painful that I cannot continue. I must now go and flaggelate myself in pennance.

New York: Dismayed at fundamentalist Christian hogwash about a Manhattan gallery's 200lb chocolate Jesus sculpture being offensive an entrepreneurial candy manufacturer has rushed out an order for five million chocolate Jesus crucifixes just in time for Holy Week festivities.
"We have a great range including the cherry fondant-filled chocolate Jesus," said a PR aide for the Chews-for-Jesus Candy Company.

Now to the really exciting news:
<font size="+1"><font color="ff0000">I think I've just about convinced the scer's to convince, (especially the catholic bonehead) am and his boys to wear OT priestly garb from now on when he preaches. bonehead will be sure and inform am of this necessity just like he convinces catholic monks of the serpent seed theory, and the catholic church is seriously thinking of changing their doctrine, all thanks to this good ol boy. I'm just sure he won't be having any problem convincing am and his boys, do you? Oh yes, I'm sure of it. I mean, they need to keep up with OT traditions, don't they? Besides, am might already have a long gown; for kneeling in his barn, or shed, or whatever that was that can't be discussed at the figtree any longer. You know they say his boys are following in his, ahem, footsteps.

Imagine Godchild convincing any of us of anything, except what a liar and idiot she is.
While she was busy ignoring me, she did this:
She really has made a fool of herself today so far.
She tried to say the Catholic Church, whose Priests wear colorful vestments during Mass,(as do orthodox and many others) and their beautiful buildings (she sure is hung up on buildings, isn't she? She denies they exist, or if they do exist, she complains they are too showy!)are too pretentious, or as her exact word, "dramatic"
So I point out to her that God Himself gave instructions for both the vestments and the ornamentation for the Tabernacle, as is recorded in Exodus. The Catholic Church just carried on the practice later in time.
So instead of admitting that she stuck her foot in her mouth again (like what's new)she then begins complaining about how Pastor Murray doesn't wear robes or dresses up his Church.
Maybe she can ask the Minister of the Community Church she says she is going to, except she apparently hasn't been there yet, the same question. She can also ask any number of the Protestant, Fundamentalist Churches, who may even say they don't copy what the Jews do!
Anti-semitic, you bet!
By the way, she sure is trying to cover the bases. Today she posted to the what was dead Let's Talk About Satan thread at CB because I've been challenging them to post they don't agree that satan doesn't exist.
And since pointing out Jesus' teaching that she should participate in public worship,all of a sudden, after months of claiming she can't trust Churches so she's not going, she has decided to go to Church!
At least she's learning.

Hi All! This will be my first post to this website. I hope that all of you had a Blessed Passover! I at one time use to call it Easter, but that was before I learned the truth by being in my Father's Word. I know that Easter, which in the Webster's College dictionary is defined as a heathen holiday, and the only time it is used in the Bible is in Acts 12:4. It has the same meaning in Greek (Pascha #3957 in the Strong's Concordance) as Passover does. For those who need further proof how our God really feels about it they can find it in Ezekiel 8:9-16. With the Strong's Concordance you will find that Shaphan in verse 11 means rabbit, and in verse 14 Tammuz means Phoenician deity (fertility goddess). With the 16th verse we also learn how God feels about sunrise service. As a child I grew up hunting Easter eggs, and believing in the Easter bunny, and when my children were young they did the same. I was ignorant of the Word, but not any more. For the few of you out there that feel that there is no harm in it. All I have to say is that God, in that same chapter of Ezekiel, states that He finds it an abomination! Tell me how are rabbits and eggs connected with our Lord Jesus' ultimate sacrifice, dying on the cross for all of us. As for me and my family we will no longer do Easter egg hunts on Passover. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 5:7 Christ is our Passover, and He is the One we will be glorifying and celebrating on His very special day as well as every day.

Welcome,
Deborwrah!
Are you coming here from the Figtree? How did you find us?
To comment on what you wrote about easter, though I agree with what you said, I also think that the kids that dye easter eggs, get baskets, etc. don't have a clue about the history of those traditions.
I also definitely am aware that the vast majority don't know that the word 'Easter' is only used one time in the KJV Bible,(a mistranslation) and what the history of the word is.
What the kids do know that go to Church at least, is that we are celebrating the Resurrection of Christ.
I say the traditions of easter eggs and all that would be dangerous only if the pagan rituals where they came from were advocated and practiced.
On another subject, I hope you have tough skin, in other words, I hope you can take people insulting you, and lying about you. Because this is not a very friendly place to be for Shepherd's Chapel students. Quite frankly, this is a war zone.
Just start reading the discussions and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I'm not trying to frighten you. The critics are lightweights anyway. I'm just letting you know what to expect.
Enemies of the Chapel started these "discussions"
to spread their lies, and hatred.
All of us SC students that came here did so to defend against the falsehoods.
I hope you enjoy your time here. It can be fun, I can assure you!

For one... Christ would not have resurrected yesterday Dodge. So in that right there you do show your ignorance. For Christ became our Passover [ I Corinthians 5:7-8 ] His Passover, which is The High Sabbath is equal to our 2007 calender as such, and began at sundown April 2nd and concluded at sundown April 3rd, 2007. Our Lord & Saviour was crucified on The Passover, He then Rose Up three days after His Crucifixtion, as it was Written of Him. So then, by our present calender year 2007, one would need to count forward three days from The Lord's Passover, counting forward from one sundown to the next [ Matthew 28 ]. Now.. the question is this.... Can you figure it out from that which I shared with you Dodge? Well... I perceive that you may not be able to... and even though it is simple, I find you to be a total and utter idiot, and on account of that this may be a difficult thing for you to understand, and in addition to that, you also speak as a fool.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA -- Jesus Christ has unveiled his very own line of condoms for protecting His 'chosen people,' from unwanted pregnancies and STDs. The announcement was made today by Pat Robertson, personal spokesman for Jesus Christ.
"Jesus Christ spoke to me personally last night," said Robertson on his TV show, 'The 700 Club.' "And Jesus told me how excited He was about this new product idea He had for His own line of Holy Condoms. He gave me these designs for how He wants it to look and everything, and He told me it was not only my duty to make it happen, but to sell Jesus Brand Condoms on His behalf."
The condoms, which will be manufactured and sold by Robertson's company, The Christian Broadcasting Network, promise to be 'the best condom in all of existence.' "These ain't your daddy's Godless Greek condoms," said Robertson. "These are Jesus Brand Condoms. They're good enough for Christ Almighty, so they should be good enough for you."
The profits taken from the sales of Jesus Brand Condoms will be re-invested into The Christian Broadcasting Network, as per His wishes.
"Jesus loves the 700 club, He told me so Himself," said Robertson. "He wants all the proceeds from the sale of His condoms to go directly to us. Support Jesus! Buy His condoms."
Obviously, Jesus Brand Condoms will come in only one size, Large...because Jesus Christ is profoundly well-endowed.

Hi again all! Thanks so much for all your nice welcomes! I am so glad to finally be able to post on this site with you. As to how I found your site, back in February I was trying to find the times for Shepherd's Chapel's Church Services for this Passover. My search engine brought up a listing for your Shepherd's Chapel Students forem at this web site. I registered to become a member that same day, but the web site never sent me a registration activation key. After a couple of days on not receiving it I went ahead and registered again with the same results. I was beginning to feel that maybe God did not want me at this site for some reason because for almost two months I received no key in my email to activate my membership. As it turned out we did not get to go to Shepherd's Chapel for Passover this past weekend. Instead we stayed home, then last night (Passover) while I was on eBay's community chat line I decided to check my email again. And there it was sent to me on Passover Day at 8:30pm my registation activation key! It's all so strange that while hunting information for Passover Services I found your site, and was finally able to post on Passover Day! I believe that God does want me here!
As to this being a war zone please don't worry, I have my Father's armor on and it fits good and tight! And I will not let a few loose ends out there shake me! This will be good practice for me for what lays ahead. I hunger for my Father's Word every day after years of starvation, and will be glad to be able to chat with other's who have had the blinders taken off their eyes too!
Smyrna, as far as bunnies, and dying and hunting eggs I see no harm in each alone, but I think it needs to be done at a different place and time. Not at church, and not on Passover. Because to God they symbolize something that he is totally against (Ezekiel 8). I believe that children at an early age need to know the truth that rabbits, and eggs have no connection what so ever to our Lord dying for us and His Resurrection. As long as they do this activity at Church, and during Passover they will naturally associate it with Christ and Church.
Thanks again Smyrna, David, Skooter, Abiyah, Ezekiel, and Terluvire for welcoming me I really do appreciate it, and look forward to chatting with all of you! http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/talker.gif

Hello Again Debowrah,
I agree with all you said. It would be so good for children to be taught the meaning and history behind these traditions. The commercialization of Easter and Christmas is disturbing. I myself celebrate Christmas on September 29th, with no fanfare, but just with prayer.
Here is a good study on the subject, and this agrees with a great many scholars:

Thanks Smyrna, for the interesting and informative web address! I have heard it said that instead of December being the month Jesus was born in, it was really September instead. And that it was on or sometime around December 25th that He was conceived. Life begins with conception! Even though it may not be the actual date when Jesus was born, I believe we should not only celebrate our Savior's birth, but also the first moment His life began in that tiny unborn baby! Later He gave His precious life for all of us. I see no harm in giving to others at home or at Church just so long as everyone knows that Jesus is the true Reason for the Season. I like you believe it has gotten to commercialized. Many out there don't even want to call it Christmas any more. Makes me wonder if they are not celebrating Jesus, what are they celebrating?
