Fair tales for adults.

The hilarious part is that this wiccan thing was patched together out of whole cloth by weirdo cultists like Aleister Crowley and Gerald Gardner (Google them and take a good look at their photos, yipe!) to get large numbers of women to take their clothes off and have sex with them.

You just summed up the last 20,000 years of religious history in one sentence.

[Ransomed]

At least the Wiccans have the guts to correctly call their female clergy “priestesses”.

Freegards

[sinanju]

It did. All cult leaders want a harem (unless they prefer children).

Haha. Then, in this respect, I suppose its preferable to suicide bombing as a method to meet “willing” women. Though, I doubt the wiccan women are virgins ... and, I’ve been thinking lately that the 72-virgins of Muslim lore may be dudes (maybe that’s where deceased World of Warcraft players go).

Well, since all the Christians left the Episcopal church and became either Anglicans or Catholics, those that remain might as well go whole hog into whatever doctrines they like.

I suppose, very relatively speaking, that the at least theoretically “mainstream” leftist wackos now in the Episcopal church would want ecumenism with Wiccans. Their “progressives” probably want ecumenism with Satanists and human sacrifice pagans.

Not sure I want to see a naked crone...hehe

“(maybe that’s where deceased World of Warcraft players go).”

Lol! So true, so true. WoW = D&D for computer geeks.

“That’s what Jesus came for, working together and everyone is equal,” Lanyi claimed. “Jesus came not to go against all of that [folk religion], the same way he didn’t go against the Jewish religion, Jesus came to affirm our nature.”

Thought you'd get a kick out of this. Jesus came to affirm our nature!

Sensing a need for women who had experienced losses through miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, or early childhood death, the 275-year-old parish began the service in 2008.

Which of these things is not like the others?

[BibChr]

Yeah. I think that’s from the book of 2 Fads 6:66.

Br-other.

[sionnsar]

At the Falls Church, an Anglican parish in suburban Washington, D.C., the pastoral care staff worked on a liturgy of remembrance for a special All Saints’ Day service. Sensing a need for women who had experienced losses through miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, or early childhood death, the 275-year-old parish began the service in 2008.

The list has turned away from observing what goes on in TEC, but this was an interesting item.

Thanks to markomalley; kalee for the ping.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail Huber or sionnsar if you want on or off this low-volume ping list.

the Episcopal Church

Pagans do, as pagans are...

Doesn't surprise me at all. You kick out (the real, biblical) Jesus, and you will invite in other spirits...

[AnalogReigns]

Other than reaching out to needy women, I DON’T SEE AT ALL how the Fall’s Church liturgy has anything at all to do with Wicca, or Pagan ceremonies.

Fall’s Church is a very solidly orthodox Anglican congregation, and I am sure has ZERO toleration for anything Wiccan or Pagan.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Why don't the hyper-rationalists and ultra-naturalists ever attack this stuff?
