They protest many funerals and memorial services of innocent people. It just makes me so sick.

UNC Student Killed, now WBC protestors plan to picket
I live in NC and the news of the murdered student body president (out of respect will not list her name here) has upset all of us in this area, of all religions and non-religious as well. The WBC is a radical group calling themselves "Christians" who plan to protest at UNC during the memorial service for this beloved young woman. The group is listed as a "hate group" but call themselves Christians and wear shirts and bear signs saying "God hates you" and God hates colleges, etc. Their website proclaims "thank God another college student is dead." This is so horrible and unspeakable. For those who are not Christian, please do not believe for one moment that this represents common Christian viewpoints. It definitely does not. The vast majority of Christians are horrified at what these people believe and proclaim.
Even sadder, more infuriating...on CNN,grandmom has announced she is "abandoning her daughter, sh
This grandmother needs big time help herself. Where the heck was she when she "enabled" her daugher to live with her, support her, and have the six previous children, let alone the IVF which resulted in these tiny innocent sweet babies??? NOW she wants to walk away because people are asking for her accountability in allowing this to happen in her house with her daughter?????? WHAT??? This is such a sick, dysfunctional family, I pray that everyone out there prays for these little infants, and the six little siblings at home, they are facing such a messed up, contentious, painful future because of their mother's/grandparents incomprehensible choices. Wow.
Longstanding campaign to help soldiers
There was a shipment today from NJ of about 80,000 cases of silly string. The soldiers shoot it out in front of them and it hangs on the trip wires. I don't know who the lady had to get permission from, but she has been collecting for this for months. It all began when she asked her son what she could do to help the soldiers in Iraq and he told her about the silly string. It's actually been hard to find it on the shelves of NJ for quite a while. It's really been a motivating campaign.
Prayers for your sons and all our soldiers! nm

Tell that to the soldiers using food stamps at the commissary.

News about silly string to soldiers
in Iraq. A NJ mom has gotten the approval to send silly string to troops that would help detect hidden trip wires that they cannot see otherwise. Who would have thunk it.
Regardless of age, we don’t usually look at funerals
as celebrations- maybe in the African American group but no matter the age, I think when your grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts die I can say being Caucasian I do not look at a funeral as celebrating a life, only that I have lost a dear loved one and terribly sad.
funerals are for the living
nothing done to the body is going to affect whether she 'rests in peace'. Let the mother bury HER dead where SHE wants. She is the legal next of kin.
p.s. her character isn't like too bad if she was a cop so long. don't believe everything the way the media slants it.
Well where I come from they are for funerals and not weddings.

Why are funerals so expensive?
After finding funeral home service for my grand mother. I think that funeral home is so expensive.
You agree with me?
I have been to 2 funerals where the ashes were buried. sm
I really never understood the reason for the cremation and then the burial but I know it is done. My brother never picked up the ashes for the same reason you marriage went sour.
My family tends to avoid funerals. Instead, several
cremated, and at an appropriate time, their ashes are spread somewhere they really loved being. My dad's were scattered over the ocean. I wasn't able to go, (only 4 spaces on the boat, and my older 1/2 brother (1 of us 6 kids) wanted to go, so I stayed home. Still, I liked it this way because I feel my grief is private - I don't want to put it on public display at a funeral. Also, every time I look at the ocean, a stream, rain, etc., it's kind of nice to know that my dad is part of it.
