I so seldom agree with you, Roy, but this time you're exactly right.

Yes.

Removed mother's image.

I'm withholding judgement until we get the survival figures!

In that post Slam Dunk shot, it almost looked like the little tyke was smiling....probably just happy he made it!

He had to do them quick. time is money. Is there a mention of how much charged per child?

[Roy]

You should have seen the expression on some of the mother's faces as they saw their babies trying to cry but not able to take a breath of air to do it.

Thanks Wayne, for the Kinison tip. I'd still swear he says Oh!, not Ah!

I did note that the baby in the video has an apparently blind mom.

If that priest bounced 780 kids in a row like that, he must have supernaturally strong arms!

Removed reference to Code of Canon Law.

[Roy]

Code of Canon Law, cc. 867-868; Catechism of the Catholic Church 1251 says that parents are responsible for bringing their child to the Sacrament of Baptism as soon after birth as possible.

Is this because of original sin? The Christian God seems to hold grudges forever, or, at least, until you pay for them at FULL retail price. I know - that's why you need Jesus.

Does God suffer from multiple personality disorder? I've heard Christians tell me that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have three distinct personalities. This was the first time I heard anyone anthropomorphize the Holy Spirit.

Why risk having this forum explode because of religious interpretations of some events? I took part also and think it was a mistake.
Just as too much political expression can divert a forum so can this. We need to self moderate to keep the freedom on this forun that we have.

There is a fine line between laughing and crying. I believe the look on the babies face is that that precedes crying. I don't know if you can see it in this image, but the baby's face changed from a look of joy (or terror in my opinion) to crying in less than a second.

Obviously NOT the picture I was referring to. Take your Forum and stick it!

I thought we were doing OK commenting on a funny video and discussing some religious beliefs.

I respect your views Rich and will remove as much as I can.

I dare say, I'm offended by more stuff on this board, than most others here. But, I know how important it is, to talk about things. Our founding fathers knew too. You can't say "boo" in Great Britain, without getting hanged, drawn and quartered. (That's a bit of an exaggeration.)

Freedom of expression does have it's limits. Frankly, I've been very impressed with the self-moderation of everyone here.

Wayne, you didn't come anywhere close, to saying or doing anything wrong. I don't know what the deal is with Rich's conniption fit. Maybe, he misunderstood your post. Maybe, he was joking. Maybe, someone is trying to tell me to knock it off, with the freedom of speech. If it's the latter, they can take their anti-American censoriousness, and stick it.

Thread drift, oddball topics exercised, albeit briefly, for a few moments among otherwise-dedicated comments, unusual comments, unexpected grumpiness or outright bitchiness, argumentativeness , disjointed and "special" replies inspiring side-glances of disbelief concerning relevance and topic relevance, and even comments some might consider ignorant or, at the very least, designed to aggravate and garner attention...

...all of it, is, somehow, liberating and welcoming, if just for recreation sake , let alone for amusement or , it seems to me, to be worth the romp and somewhat unique among the many forums available.

Here, some of us even complain about the freedoms allowed. Amazing. To me at least .

Perhaps, there is also something to be said for relaxing , loosening up, and not taking oneself too seriously?

Murph,
IMHO all of those things you mention above are what makes MTJ so enjoyable.

Thank you. I'm glad we agree.
