Just Dont Get This Idolatry

[nailit]

??

[jno]

did you actually apply for some?

[andy-hughes]

Fair enough.

I don't get Morris Dancing, but some people enjoy it.

We're all different.

Many people loved the Queen. She touched many people's lives. So what I say is, it's not hurting you so...........

[davebro]

think I know where you're coming from nail

[237SJ]

Didn't you used to be some kind of born again Christian? In which case I would have thought you would get it.

[davebro]

I'm with the guy who said - "all I ever saw after waiting 2 hours was a white glove waving at a car window". Me too!

[Tilly2]

If you don't get it, you don't get it.

[davebro]

Folks in African & Caribbean nations got to see more of OUR Queen live than people in the UK did! (judging by the news reports)

[nailit]

Why do you all think that I'm talking about the Queen?

[jackthehat]

Never mind, nailit.
It'll all be over soon enough and then you can get back to whatever else will be on your mind....

The Romans ( R C ) have prayers for the dying and then funeral masses and then masses for the dead ( lots)
funerary chapels ( more masses for the dead)
intercessionary prayer - prayer to a dead saint ( they have to be yeah? dead I mean) to cure someone

and all this was swept away in the reformation - say 1540 - and 1560 Scotland ( john Knox et al) - ter dddah. Gone- - -
none of it

and the beeb is blocked over the word body
so they talk about the coffin rather than the remains or body of the Late Queen

so yes - - Nailit what was the service in St Giles before the lying in state
it cant be a burial as you can only do that once
it was Something Else

no wonder you are confused....

Romans, All hallows and all souls ( Nov 1 and nov 2 )
is getting like "dia de los muertos" - go out in skeleton cozzies and excuse for a poss up

//Why do you all think that I'm talking about the Queen?//

You meant me? Oh you rascal! (or was it Elvis?)

[royfromaus]

Why put 'this' then?

[Peter Pedant]

It is not about the late Queen ?
oh Nailit you teasing dog, you !

[davebro]

//The Romans ( R C ) have prayers for the dying and then funeral masses and then masses for the dead ( lots)//

Would that be masses of masses?

[jackthehat]

To what were you referring, then..... o, enigmatic one?

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I was taken in by the playful minx , dave

[Peter Pedant]

oh you mean - why is it St Giles Cathedral ( edinburgh ) when they dont have Bishops?

they did once, is the short answer

the atheist marxist been fluff was trying to explain it ( Reformation in Scortland 1560) and it was like a scene out of the beginning of " Scanners" - the one where the head explodes like a bag of blood

[Peter Pedant]

decode your message into plain text
and explain - - explicate even - to the awaiting AB crowd agog with expectation....
seething they are

Royalist or Rebuplican the Queen was the Head of State for the vast majority throughout their life. Is it Idolatry to respect and pay homage to someone who made a promise at a young age and fulfilled that promise to the very end of her life
