I just found out!

[GothicChristian]

My brother is coming home for Christmas. Isn't it bad enough that I have to deal with my dads family?
It's not fair, why does he have to come home? Do convicts get to come home for the holidays when they're in jail? No, I didn't think so. So why does he get time off from his program?


Ce n'est pas equitable, il est si moyen, il est un criminel! Pour l'amour de toutes les choses saintes, pourquoi!?

[Crying_Crimson_Tears]

What kind of program is he on???

[GothicChristian]

He's been court ordered to be in The Forestry Academy.

[Beneath the Shadows]

What's the Forestry Academy? Sounds like a place people go to become trees...

[GothicChristian]

Indeed. He's learning how to be s forest ranger or something.

[Beneath the Shadows]

Oh. Well that's kinda cool. I wouldn't mind being a forest ranger. I love the forest.

[Underwater Ophelia]

I think you're being extremely selfish.
Why would you want him to be without family on Christmas?

[badteccy]

This isn't a very Christian thread, GothicCHRISTIAN

[korinna5555]

Eh.. I can understand the who bit about your dad's family.. same goes for me. I am DREADING tomorrow..
At least be happy that the rest of your family gets to see him. You can always avoid him.

Well said. Keep us on our toes badteccy! Love ya.

GothicChristian, reflect on badteccy's words.

(I am a Christian too by the way, so don't think her comments are just because you are Christian. She doesn't pick on me. The comments were because of the hypocrisy. But no one's perfect. I am not judging you, just reminding you. )

All Christians Are Worthless Idiots.

What you just said was really horrible(about the Christians). I agree that there is no god or heaven, but that's because I'm an atheist. Nothing wrong with that.

Sorry. I won't anymore. Very sorry. Cool badge by the way.

Christians are also fools! Including me!

I particularly like this one...

THE DESERT SAINTS of the early centuries were a wild and strange breed – and none were bred wilder or stranger than the saints of Syria. Some of them stood and prayed for years on end without sitting down. Others lived on top of pillars in the desert where they preached, wrote epistles and drew crowds of pilgrims. Numbered among these maverick saints is our patron, St Simeon the Holy Fool.

Simeon's saintly career started out quite normally. It was the usual story: 29 years living on lentils in an isolated cave next to the Dead Sea, at first struggling against temptation and then advancing to an alarming degree of holiness. But Simeon's story took a dramatic turn when he left his cave one day and set out for the city of Emesa in Syria. Arriving at the city gate, he found a dead dog on a dungheap, tied its leg to the rope around his waist, and entered the city dragging the comatose canine behind him.

This was only the beginning. For Simeon had decided to play the fool in order to mock the idiocy of the world and also to conceal his own identity as a saint. His behaviour was eccentric and, of course, scandalous...

During the church services, he threw nuts at the clergy and blew out the candles. In the circus, he wrapped his arms around the dancing-girls and went skipping and dancing across the arena. In the streets, he tripped people up, developed a theatrical limp, and dragged himself around on his buttocks. In the bath-house, he ran naked into the crowded women's section. On solemn fasting days he feasted riotously, consuming vast amounts of beans – with predictable and hilarious results. In his lifetime, Simeon was regarded as a madman, as an unholy scandal.

T WAS ONLY AFTER his death that the secret life of Simeon came to light. People started to talk about his acts of kindness – and about his strange and powerful miracles. There was the poor mule driver whose vinegar Simeon turned into wine so that he could start a successful tavern. There was the rich man who was saved from death when Simeon threw a lucky triple six at dice. And there was the young man Simeon punched on the jaw to save him from an affair with a married woman.

St Simeon the Holy Fool was a secret saint, his story was a holy farce, and his life shows how God chooses "the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; the weak things of the world to shame the strong" (1 Corinthians 1:27).

Oh well, I hope your brother does not bug you too much, and that your dad´s family behaves good with you. I also have to deal with lots of family members on christmas. My grandmother is coming from Mexico, and I really do not want to see her. She stays a month, and I have to deal with her ego and anti "dark" mentality.

[MollyMac]

Grow up and accept the world will not stop because you are annoyed. Turn the other cheek and just avoid him as much as you can without being a whiny ass about it.

Parce qu'il est toujours un membre de la famille, mon amour
