I sleep with my daughters bear every single night. When we go on vacation.......I sleep with her bear.OracleX said:... just a side note ... please no teasing about sleeping with my daughters bunny
You break my heart on a regular basis, but it is nothing compared to your pain. You leave me speechless.GreenEyedLady said:I sleep with my daughters bear every single night. When we go on vacation.......I sleep with her bear.
Since she left the earth, I wanted to hold that last thing she was holding when she died.
I am holding it in my hand in this family picture.
It is good to know, that I am not crazy. I don't worship this bear. It used to smell like her, but not anymore. I am attached to it because it comforts me and reminds me of her.
Don't feel bad about sleeping with the bear!

Abraham Joshua Heschel: The problem to be faced is: how to combine loyalty to one's own tradition with reverence for different traditions.OracleX said:*** Mod Hat On ***
OK lets stop digging up things about other denominations when they can not rightful speak for themselves because of forum rules.
There are things that we will never agree with and posting like this will not help that. This will not be a thread or forum where other denominations are put down or even attack. It is not fair to attack another denomination when they can not defend thier beliefs because of forum rules.
Keep this in mind and things will only get better.

How can we honestly discuss a topic (a topic started here by an outsider) if we cannot refer to the official doctrines that address points made? I again say, the issue was brought to us, we didn't start the thread.Lollard said:Abraham Joshua Heschel: The problem to be faced is: how to combine loyalty to one's own tradition with reverence for different traditions.
Thanks Bleechers!bleechers said:...I should be thanked for referring to accurate statements of doctrine rather than to inuendo. I would think that they prefer that I do it that way. If they don't like their own catechism, I suggest they study the doctrine of their own church in regard to the submission of their "will and intellect".
Let me quote from the original poster: "Yes, the Catechism is what the Church teaches." All I did was to quote it.
Ooooh, I have lots of stuffed animals. Hugging them helps me show affection for my guardian angels.clskinner said:God bless you, brother.
I agree with you. I was thinking about this point this morning. I was looking around my room at all of the stuffed animals that a friend of mine, who has now moved away, gave me. The stuffed animals remind me of my friend's goodness and love even when he can't physically be here. I don't worship the things, nor do I think they are my friend, but they are comforting reminders and they make him feel closer.
I aint condemning you buddy, and that quote was more or less in agreement with Oracle for us to try and keep it civilized. Thats all.bleechers said:How can we honestly discuss a topic (a topic started here by an outsider) if we cannot refer to the official doctrines that address points made?

Someone from another forum came in here and made certain statements... all I did was quote from his church's official catechism. I should be thanked for referring to accurate statements of doctrine rather than to inuendo. I would think that they prefer that I do it that way. If they don't like their own catechism, I suggest they study the doctrine of their own church in regard to the submission of their "will and intellect".
Let me quote from the original poster: "Yes, the Catechism is what the Church teaches." All I did was to quote it.
I don't think so, I think if we are going to have an opinion we should back it up, and be able to withstand questioning about it. Otherwise there would be chaos in any of the forums.bleechers said:Are we all free to espouse whatever doctrines we want without being questioned?

Don't let me stop you, if you feel you are in the right, rock on.
