Is it talking about this, only 500 year old custom?, in Jeremiah 10?
Did you know the ancients didn't worship sex? They worshipped
fertility. The ability to make babies, because life was hard back then and they didn't live long. Thus the symbols of male and
female anatomy. Representing sexual potency, like they needed
to do magic to make babies right?
With me so far? Okay.
So did Almighty God reveal to me what is so wrong with the tree
when I asked one day while I was looking at one in a church. And
I saw all those BALLS on it?
The tree is an ancient fertility symbol of male sexual potency.
So show your respect for God and Jesus by putting a Nativity
Scene up in your church or home instead. You can put the
presents around that.
"Believers", can you give up that much? I DOUBT IT!

Last year in June 2 new priest arrived to takeover 5 churches in Livingston County in Upstate in NY. Small changes happened like bullentins and committee meetings. Now there are important change with the masses for the 4 smaller churches. 1 church has no masses on the weekends. The smallest has 1 mass on Sunday at 8:10 am too early for younger kids. The other church has one mass and my church is losing 1 mass. However, the bigger church which for some people is 30 mins to 40 mins away has keeped all of its masses. Also, in the winter time some people that normal drive a short distance will be forced to drive longer more dangerous distance to be able to participate in their religion. The 2 priest refuse to even consider change 1 of the 4 masses in the bigger church only when the college students leave from the summer does a mass got dropped. Also, the college has a mass. Neither priest has made an effort to engage in the smaller churches communities, but they do live in 1.

We see them in every building in Singapore... they're always in the best locations next to the lift lobby... and they're always ... empty.

Shouldn't we try to be more productive with the space?

What if you liked this person's personality, were good friends for a while - had things in common - was sexually attracted and physically but there were no sparks - do u think the relationship would work? I think if you are physically attracted then you would be sexually attracted.

My mom swears that Latins do things almost just like Africans, especially the music and the food. I think it's probably because a lot of Latin countries are in tropical regions, like West African countries. Is Latin culture influenced by Africa? Did the influence get there through slavery?
