Somehow we just knew....







February 14th is known to many as Valentine’s Day.



"Pagan symbols and pagan holidays are not God’s tools to reach people. True Christians need to avoid participating in pagan holidays, such as Valentine’s Day. Turning towards Cupid’s or Mary’s heart is not what the world needs. Valentine’s Day is not a biblical holiday nor did early Christians observe it.

The world needs the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Valentine’s observances and other distractions turn people away from the true Jesus and more towards a faith that is against what Jesus stood for."

Everyone in the church of God and the Jehovah's Witnesses agrees that Bob was telling the truth.

It's really a "who cares? No foul committed" topic

The obsession with anything not Hebrew Holy in the WCG and its daughters is ridiculous, alienates children and when they grow up, they will have incredible anger and regret over such an upbringing and will ensure their own children are not subjected to such foolish avoidance of the completely harmless. The thought, "I can't believe I was so compliant, naive and stupid" will come for a visit.

Once again, on this day of love, I suggest that Bob really needs to lighten up and get laid!

Stop butting in to people's private lives Bob. Just take care of your own!

The End Times will begin when Valentines Day and the Super Bowl coincide!

Dennis,
You seem to love to offend others with your personal opinions, but others don’t unbelieve like you do.
Just remember you are not the, nor an, authority to tell others what to do when it comes to rearing children, or anything else in life.

NPR did today what COG's long have done - explaining the dark history of V-Day. This apparently old article was mentioned on All Things Considered:

https://www.npr.org/2011/02/14/133693152/the-dark-origins-of-valentines-day

If we're going to tear down statues of U.S. leaders who "sinned" in the past (e.g. slaveholders), why keep a day with an even more sordid past?

The whole bible is totally pagan. Mary was the name of the top Egyptian goddess (also called Isis) 4500 years ago. Their empire collapsed when morons from all around flooded the place because it was successful, but their goddess lives on.

But you don't see the plain truth about valentine's day like the great Mr. Pack.

Truly the stupidest thing on here today. You cannot prove that, moron.

Everything about Bob is predictable. I do not think he has an original thought in his head. He can only promote the works of others.

Happy VD everybody!

Doesn't sound like that one really knows Egyptian history, but they're so often the basis for wild theories that I shouldn't be surprised at all.

I do not think he has an original thought in his head.


And today is no exception, with his Petra article beginning with a reprint of material from Dr. Hoeh.

That is absolutely true. So many testimonials as to that truth.
