seems some Churches especially those in Chicago will be putting purple glitter in with the ash. It's supposed to show solidarity with the LGBTQ community. I don't have a problem with gay people so why do I need to get glitter on my forehead? Rather stupid if you ask me..also I have a problem with any glitter that may get in my eye, it's one of the things I can't stand. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/02/28/glitter-ash-wednesday-churches-show-lgbtq-support.html Also what does Q stand for? Is Queer ok now? Another question or comment is that I assumed only Catholics did Ash Wednesday....guess not.
I do have a problem with fags. ever since one grabbed my crotch when I was younger. I hit him so hard with a rolled up fist it slammed his head against the car window and knocked his ass cold. don't wanna be around em. hate em.
I can understand that, Gary. If I was raped at a young age or any age...I think it might have turned me off men, at least for a long time.
I was too naive at 10 to worry about my best friend, Bobbi. She was a tomboy and was always giving me cool presents...what's not to like, lol. When we were 13, I spent the night at her house along with my other best friend Becky and later Becky told me there's something weird about Bobbi, she kept watching me sleep and kept telling Becky not to get so close to me..she might suffocate me. She did spend a summer in Chicago with me at my grandmother's...at night we shared an extra bedroom but had separate beds but I do remember her asking me if she could rub my back and that she'd give a record if I agreed...again, what's not to like, lol? I think I was catching on though by then....she never did anything weird though...think she knew I wasn't into that. She did visit me in Chicago once...along with her younger sister. I was already married and had 2 kids.
I have no problem with any of the LGBT community other than when they do the "LOOK AT ME" attention getters and this is one of those times....I can only shake my head. Chrissy, you asked if only the Catholics do The cross on Ash Wednesday....the Lutheran faith does also.
Thanks Missy, I don't know why I thought only Catholics did it....maybe because I only saw people I knew were Catholic walking around with ash on their forehead. I think Pittsburgh had a big catholic population.
Chrissy, the Lutherans broke away from the Catholic faith under Martin Luther when he formed his own church after disagreements with the pope at the time. Not all but a good many of the Lutheran churches still follow some of the ways of the Catholic church.
talked with my neighbor about this. he's young and has a wife and young daughter. told me if he ever caught any man in the bathroom with them he's gonna make the morning news. I told him i would post his bail
Like the N-word, I think it's only okay when they use it. It's so hard to follow these rules so I generally use whatever word seems the most descriptive to me. I don't personally have a problem with gay people, but it is quite a stretch to read the Bible and not realize that God does. Still, that's between He and they, and the Bible does not tell me that I have to be rude to them, so I am generally not. Rarely would I get into a conversation that would require me to address someone according to who they like to have sex with, so that hasn't been a problem. None of the Protestant churches that I have been a part of do but Wikipedia tells me that Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians and Roman Catholics observe Ash Wednesday. That may well be true because I have never been involved in any of these denominations, although they do represent what may well be the majority of Protestants, or a big chunk of them anyhow.
