If someone otherwise unsupportive feels the need to create an religious incursion into your lives that's got to be difficult....( and so sorry that she's got to learn about cranky lungs at such a young age. I feel for her...but glad she's alive in the age of many excellent helps, alternative and otherwise for cranky lungs. I'm sending her a long distance hug. )imfunnytoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942406430628029505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11908456.post-1131113548452238632005-11-04T06:12:00.000-08:002005-11-04T06:12:00.000-08:00Wowee.

Those pamphlets sound beyond weird--they sound like some sort of Victorian era publication for the edification of children. How we've managed to avoid this nonsense I don't know--there are plenty of these sort of folks in the South.Bad Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540577363786819292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11908456.post-1131078018997491062005-11-03T20:20:00.000-08:002005-11-03T20:20:00.000-08:00Wow.

Friend of mine who is a liberal Presbyterian deacon and recovering Southern Baptist almost blew a gasket when his 4-yo got one of those Devil's Night tracts.

But I think that the use of Chick Publications (the cartoon tracts drawn by Jack Chick that drew their inspiration from the Maoist cartoons used to instruct Chinese workers about the correct attitudes to be adopted by the proletariat) indicates a four-square KJV evangelical Gospel approach.

I've had dealing with them- w/out going in to too much detail (I'm positive you're more than capable of researching it yourself) they are in fact, a cult & a dangerous one at that. Their motivation for your potential conversion is NOT out of love or hope but rather fear and control. My suggestion is, be polite to them but make it clear that their religious advances aren't welcome. Just be careful...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
