As I sit here worshipping in my home at the alter of my self constructed Easter bunny and offering sacrifices to the this god of fertility, I just thought I would wish everyone a happy Easter, except for robbie so as not to offend him. 😵

The Holy Bible tells us who is the true God of fertility. To mention only one incident, do you recall what He did for Abraham and Sarah? So continue to worship Him as you see fit.
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

Spotted this morning at the 7.30 am "Children's" mass: helium balloons weighted down with stones on strings ~ Spongebob Squarepants, pink dolphins, blue elephants [for 'blue', we could say more-or-less 'elephant colour'], and fruit salad coloured helicopters, excellent floral arrangements positioned in several places but always with the florist's telephone number visible. Three things seen but presumably not specifically commanded by Christ: a large mural depicting Jesus teaching some children under a tree; physically disabled worshippers accommodated at the front of the congregation; full text of the mass and all songs for sale at the gate.

I was alright until I read the bit about Spongebob.

What if Spongebob wore a cross. Would that be enough to ban him from your TV?

For Indonesian Christians, a crucifix is a representation of the cross on which Jesus died, and for Indonesian Christians, Jesus is "clean and wholesome", to use your words, and His sacrifice ~ there on that cross ~ makes him a revered figure. 😀

You seem to despise Holy water. Is that because JWs don't have Holy water?

indeed and yet from Gods perspective they have adopted a pagan symbol, cant be wholesome surely.
