bad mommy and daddy report tonight..we were channel surfing and dh decides to announce that we're going to watch the abc movie sixth sense. i'm saying no way and the oldest two, ages 6 and almost 8, are all for it because it's *scaaaaaary*. at every commercial i'm saying it's just make believe it's just make believe and even encouraged a channel change. we watched the entire movie and when it was time to go to bed, my oldest asked a genuine question: what do you do if (big emphasis on *if*) things pop out of the television mom? i reminded her that it was only a movie and that would never happen. she was certain i was wrong and kept asking "but what *if*...." i said it wouldn't happen and included other shows that wouldn't pop out either like her favorites spongebob and lizzie mcguire.
i feel so bad that these kids watched this movie. are there limits on programming at your home and would you have handled the scenario the same way with children at this age? tia for any btdt or advice.
m3t who can't wait til the school year starts so we can get back into a routine of 8P bedtime.

Hm, that's not quite right in what it says about Episcopal churches. Not all Episcopal churches have communion at every service, and there is a wide variation of "high" and "low" from church to church.
It's also quite common for Episcopal churches to have one "high" service, with Communion, and one "low" service without, each Sunday.

<> An intimate discussion between 2 on a debate board?? You certainly felt comfortable intervening. Otherwise, no need to advise M3t to suggest a book to MW. And certainly no need to repeatedly suggest M3t is "afraid" of the book "Our Fathers" and would be better off for reading it.
And I don't recall the Catechism being dry. It's uplifting and inspiring. And I have no problem relying on my ability to recall. My recollection is quite accurate. And that's a lot more than I can say about the book you repeatedly advise M3t to read.
<> So, you are still pushing the Harris book? Because, I went back over that part of the discussion line by line where you recommended the book to me, and you went back and forth with Laura about the book and, in the end, you finally concluded specifically, "Good. That means Harris is full of crap..." and your efforts as a sahm are not meaningless or something to that effect. Post # 15792.1362
So, it comes down to the 2 things I said from the beginning with regard to your odd need to push a piece of junk journalism M3t's way: 1.) you are willing to recommend books that you concede are "crap;" (at least when the books are explained to you by someone who has studied multilingualism) and 2.) your powers of recalling a book you read are faulty after you close its covers for good.
And I most certainly am quoting you right. You do have a faulty recollection of the book. You wrongly recalled that the Harris book says peer influence can be so strong, a child may learn the language of his peers...but not that of his parents! Post # 15792.1163
Yes, isn't it convenient that MW omitted from her discussion of this sensationalist book the easily obtained information from my links: That only 2-3% of priests have been accused, and that is the same percentage of pedophiles found in all religions and all professions.
I also wouldn't doubt the "author" omitted these important details from his opening chapter, would you? Then the book would never sell.
Well, you most certainly are welcome to "partake" of the Eucharist in the Catholic Church if you follow the steps we have all taken. If committed to the Church, you can certainly join, receive the necessary sacraments and then receive Communion. This can't be accomplished overnight, but it can be done.
It's the difference between a Church grounded in tradition for millenia and those that are just a few hundred years old.
Martin Luther and Protestant leaders centuries ago rejected the formalities and sacraments of the Catholic Church. You (?) and other Protestants can't be heard to complain now!
No, Lutherans cannot receive Communion in a Catholic Church. Non-Catholics cannot receive the Eucharist in a Catholic Church.
The big words being tossed about are impressive. But M3t really knows her stuff when it comes to her religion.
