CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I didn't really know where to put this, so mods, you can move it if you like.
I saw this in our local free paper. Thought you might like it:



You are cordially invited to A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Guest of Honor: Jesus Christ

Date: Traditionally December 25, but any day will do because he is always around

Time: Whenever you are ready (Please do not be late because you will miss all the fun!)

Place: In your heart. He will meet you there. (You will hear him knocking)

Attire: Come as you are. Grubbies are okay. He will be washing your clothes anyway. He has new white robes and crowns for everyone who stays till the last.

Tickets: Admission is free. He has already paid for everyone. (He says you could not afford it anyway. It cost him everything he had. However, you do need to accept the ticket!)

Refreshments: New wine, special bread, and a special drink he calls "Living Water." A banquet will follow that promises to be out of this world!

Gift suggestions: Your life. He is one of those people who already has everything else. (He is very generous in return, though. Just wait until you see what he has for you!)

Entertainment: Joy, Peace, Truth, Light, LIfe, Love, Real Happiness, Communion with God, Forgiveness, Miracles, Healing, Power, Eternal Life, Contentment, and much more! (All "G" rated, so bring your family and friends!)

RSVP Very Important! He must know ahead so he can reserve a spot for you at the table. Also, he is keeping a list of his friends for future reference. He calls it the "Book of Life." His kids are giving the party! (that is us!) Hope to see you there! Share this invitation with someone today!:hug:

How true.

you saw this in your local paper? interesting

Hmm, unusual to see something like this in print - usually it's one of those things people's grandmothers forward around about 50 times so the subject line reads "Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw:Fw . . ." ad nauseum.

I can't say I understand the point of these sorts of things, though.

Coincidentally, I was just reading about Christmas as well.

"The lovely old carols played and replayed till their effect is like a dentist's drill or a jack hammer, the bathetic banalities of the pulpit and the chilling commercialism of almost everything else, people spending money they can't afford on presents you neither need nor want, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," the plastic tree, the cornball creche, the Hallmark Virgin. Yet for all our efforts, we've never quite managed to ruin it. That in itself is part of the miracle"

-Frederick Buechner

Jesus' B-Day is that awesome. ^^

If it's his birthday then why does everyone ELSE get gifts?

Aww, thats so awesome! I love it.

Sounds very wonderful, Jesus is the most awesome being in the whole universe:grin:

Hahaha, that is totally awesome. I'm going to celebrate it. XD Definitely. Along with my family and friends.

I am also surprised to hear that this was in the newspaper. Regardless, I enjoyed reading it!

Good stuff - apart from the G rated part (that's just stupid).

I personally thought it was just straightup awesome! The fact that it made it into a paper is a miracle in itself. Hate if you gonna hate, but there ain't no denyin the win this invite screams. Corny? Slightly, perhaps, but I think it sums up God's salvation plan rather nicely. Kudos to whoever wrote that. Thank you baby Jesus!

I have to concur - the Bible itself is an indication of that.

Except the part where Jesus was beaten with whips until He bled, had a crown of thorns forcibly placed on his head, and then was hammered to a cross, where he suffered an excruciatingly painful death by suffocation (which is how crucifixion kills you, your lungs get crushed).

Oh wait. Does this destroy the G-rated thing? I guess it must be, that's why Passion of the Christ was rated G and not R.

Jesus' B-Day is that awesome. ^^

Except the 25th of December isn't Jesus' birthday but let's not let that stop us.

No, not really. It's in a noncommercial residential newspaper, probably run by the local community. So basically, this is people printing out pamphlets to hand out to themselves on street corners.

I tend to think miracles are more practical than a self-published chain letter.

You have the right idea, F &C. This was in The Lafourche Gazette, which isn't on the same scheme as, say, The New York Times. It's actually free.

LOL Passion of the Christ rated G? That reminds me of this:

Also, yeah, Jesus was probably born sometime in the summer or very early fall.
