BeenaBobba Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 [quote name='picchick' date='Jul 6 2004, 12:23 AM'] A person would not use it to drink coke out of it. [/quote] That'd be [b]so[/b] horrible! [quote]I cringed at the very thought.[/quote] Me too. Yikes! God bless, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenaBobba Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 [quote name='Paladin D' date='Jul 6 2004, 12:33 AM'] She was baptised in a cooler? [/quote] Haha. No! She was baptized in a horse trough used in her church to baptize adults by full immersion. Later, people from her church used the trough as a cooler -- and that's where her beef's at.

BeenaBobba Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 [quote name='theculturewarrior' date='Jul 6 2004, 12:35 AM'] Nevertheless, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, yes, this was wrong, although I do believe there are bigger fish to fry, and I know that Catholics are capable of similar abuses. [/quote] I'd tend to agree with that, for sure. I do think, however, that my friend was right to get upset. I would be upset, too, if I was in that position. To the best of my knowledge, the font I was baptized over still stands in my church. [quote]Using the Chalice for coke is an apt analogy. Once the locals where I lived disinterred a cemetery, and used the tombstones of the Black soldiers buried there (it was a national cemetery) for bricks. It strikes me as the same kind of disrespect.[/quote] Yikes. That's horrible! I think disrespecting a baptismal font would be more serious, though, as I'd think a baptismal font would be a sacred thing being its usage is for sacred purposes. I see what you're saying, though.

Mickey's_Girl Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Oh yeah...like the church building where my mom was confirmed, etc. is now used by the church's boy scout troop as a haunted house (big moneymaker for the troop)... It's just sad. It feels wrong, somehow. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
