I was looking at Instagram and it seems that the majority of fundies have Christmas trees. I feel like they used to be shunned more by fundies in the past. I also feel like fundies have more screen time now than they used to. I’m not talking about phone or computer screens. I’m talking actual tv shows and movies. I know tv used to be a big no no for a lot of fundies but now that you can watch tv without watching commercials, I think a lot of them are giving in. I think they are also changing from “standing out” to “blending in.” It’s harder to spot a fundie these days. Agree or disagree?

Winter is coming - and so are a bunch of holidays. Some, like Halloween, are secular (or anti-religious, depending on who you ask) Others, like Christmas, have religious origins (Pagan or Christian, depending on who you ask) but have become secularized for many. What holidays do you celebrate? How do you do it? Or if not, why, and do you do anything else instead?

A local prof got himself on Fox News' hate list by calling God impregnating Mary "grossly predatory." He points out that God has a history of doing terrible things to those who tell Him no, so any consent she gave would be in question. http://www.citypages.com/news/minnesota-state-university-prof-virgin-birth-of-jesus-was-grossly-predatory/502200381

I just read this article and I don't think I've seen it mentioned on here so I thought I'd share: https://www.inlander.com/spokane/how-one-mans-quest-to-spread-christmas-cheer-led-to-a-miserable-four-year-war-with-his-neighborhood/Content?oid=15109011 Cliff notes version: - Christian man in Idaho is obsessed with Christmas from childhood and decides to turn his house into not just a few decorations, or even a lot of decorations but into a Christmas show extravaganza in his suburban neighborhood complete with over 200,000 lights, live camels, actors playing characters from the na

I remember being about two years old (I have a long memory) and watching my dad plug in Christmas lights. That was probably the last year our family celebrated Christmas. Both my parents grew up celebrating holidays like most of middle-class America, but as they began their slide into fundie-dom they started reading tracts and booklets about the evils of holidays. They believed that Christmas, Easter, and Halloween were evil throwbacks to paganism that had been perpetuated by the Catholics (who, of course, weren't "real Christians"). I'm linking here to something similar to the many book

Hi everyone, I have received a request for 'historical murder mystery books' as a Christmas gift from my brother. He has only read a few before and it isn't a genre i have read much of either so i wondered if people had any recommendations? There seems to be lots online so wasn't really sure where to start! Thanks in advance for any help

Since the holidays are coming up once again I thought it would be a good time to review this...

I follow Johanna Basford on Facebook, and she posted these free downloadables! You can find them here https://www.johannabasford.com/blog/; I would love to see what other FJ colorists come up with! As always, I used my Prismacolor scholar pencils. I also decided to cut out the ornaments and hang them on my wall as some decoration. Ho ho ho

Parents say their Hatchimals are swearing like sailors in their sleep
clueliss posted a topic in Wide World of Snark
https://www.yahoo.com/news/parents-hatchimals-swearing-sailors-sleep-020734832.html Well - looks like the 'must have' present for kids of 2016 has gone way wrong. I've seen reports of these things not hatching and such. Now they're swearing. Since these are redone furby's and I have almost nieces who had a furby I don't see the allure.- 9 replies

Talk about a damn buzz kill. Things start to get a little intense at the end of the video when he's confronted by several beefy guys who are telling him to shut up and leave. I suspect things got even more intense after the video ends. -
So I'm the bad Jew that really likes Christmas music.... but I'm the REALLY bad person that watches these videos and fangirls about the performers - impure thoughts and all. These guys are amazing and the acoustics in the church (catholic, clearly) are impressive. I've got it pretty bad for the tenor with the long hair (Mr. Cowboy). Peter Hollens (blue shirt) is totally welcome to come and save me anytime he'd like. Anyone have any others to share?

So this year I feel 'okay' with Christmas. Not great. But okay. I'll take okay. The previous 2-3 years were hard. And, yes, mom and dementia and being burned out from stress had a lot to do with the last 2 years but the year before those (circa 2013) I wasn't okay with Christmas and I had no clue what was coming at me related to my mom. Among the things I kept from my mom's was certain Christmas decorations. The tree, the ornaments I left all of those. The items I kept were made by my maternal grandmother between say the mid 1970's and maybe 1990. Every year she gave each of her

Still working on my Christmas coloring book. Only have a few left, but my anniversary is coming up and I'm thinking about getting a real coloring book and a larger selection of colored pencils as my gift I've been really enjoying coloring and I feel like it helps when I get anxious, so thanks for giving me a place to share! P.S. My toddler added his own touches on some

I didn't see a thread for Christmas baking but if there is one let me know so we can merge. Getting a late start today, but on the agenda to back today: kolachki spritz cookies (cookie press) coconut snowballs crinkle cookies cranberry muffins and some peanut butter bacon homemade dog biscuits for the pups. I have a little bine shaped cookie cutter - too cute. Next weekend I'll get to work on the candy and more cookies. Few days before Christmas I'll get the pecan rolls ready to go. So nice to just be able to toss th

Does anyone else get their pets Christmas presents? Last year, my kitty got a pre packaged kitty stocking with cat treats, a ball and catnip. She found it a few weeks before Christmas and had a catnip party late at night. She also got a can of posh cat food, to match the meat we are having for Christmas dinner. This year, I got a small cardboard box and filled it with cat stuff-four tins of fancy cat food (one each), a few packs of cat treats, catnip and various cat toys

Silence the women - "peace on earth" christmas card

Let's Give Christmas Presents to Our Fundie Favs!
Gimme a Free RV posted a topic in General Questions & Discussion
In the spirit of love, sarcasm, and peace on earth, let's not forget to give presents to our favorite fundies. Here's my list: Michelle Duggar--The Stepford Wives DVD Jill-Rod--a tubal ligation and an endless supply of eye makeup remover. John Shrader-a vasectomy and, for a stocking stuffer, a copy of the airplane key. Duggar, Maxwell, Rodrigues, and Shupe older children--Greyhound bus tickets to the destinations of their choice. One way. Goatherd--a blow up doll with long loose curly hair and no defects. Jinger and Josiah--tickets to NYC's finest Broadway music -
My current plans are bowl cozies and casserole carries for my inlaws and the gift exchange at work. I'm also going to make two small quilts, maybe quillows, for the "new" grandkids. Oh and I'll make at least a lap size quilt for my girlfriend whose name I drew.

The War on Christmas is heating up this year. First dirty looks at Toys'R'Us lead to shooting in parking lot, then 96-foot Christmas tree at Westin South Coast Plaza was destroyed in Monday morning fire. FOOM:

Had to fix the fuse box and address 40 Christmas cards tonight instead of having sex. Being mature is boring. I did get a new candle from Yankee Candle though- it smells like peppermint cookies. Also. I was so scared of the fuse box shocking or burning me that I used rubber-coated tongs to reset it and stood as far away as I could. Still! First emergency home repair. Do I get an Adulting merit badge?

Compiling the ol' Christmas wish list. I put everything I want on that list, whether or not I have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it or not regardless of the cost. I figure what the hell, just put it on there in case someone is feeling really generous. My immediate family does the same so we all know what to get each other too. Of course it takes a little bit of coordination so one person doesn't get three Pirates snuggies like he did one year. Since I might be having surgery within the next year this was the first year I asked people to not get me certain things, such as beer or

I finally get my turn to host Thanksgiving at our house this year after about 8 years. My sil and mil have been taking turns and beating me to the punch for invites. I've had a warp dyed and waiting to become a table runner and placemats for for almost that whole time. After I invited everyone late last month I realized that I had better get on that warp. As so often happens while I weave, I decided to make some celtic knot binding to go around everything. So I now have the whole warp woven, and part of it over dyed because there was just too much yellow and not enough red, and the warp for th
