Indoctrination and Proselytizing

Some people have been challenging the very name of God in anything.

Whether prayer in school, in our pledge, or even simply praying before a meal in the primary grades, they do not want to be 'indoctrinated' or 'proselytized'.

They fight the Nativity Scenes, and this year seems to be the worst one I have heard so far, as they fight to remove Jesus from the Season in any way that they can.

But I have not heard ANYTHING on main stream media about the recent case of blatant indoctrination that took place Dec 16, 2004. Though the school in Ohio has issued a disclaimer,
it does not alter the fact that if these same children decided to sing O Silent Night or possibly even Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer (it has Christmas Eve mentioned, you know?)... or to draw posters of a Nativity scene, they would be stopped almost immediately. And THAT in itself is a brand of indoctrination.

When are we going to wake up, Oh Sleeping Giant? When we have to meet in underground catacombs again to worship the One born whose Birthday we CELEBRATE on Christmas Day???

Merry Christmas, Everyone! And Happy Birthday, Jesus... I am going to sing O Holy Night. You may want to sing with me....or not.

Oh holy night

The stars are brightly shining

It is the night of the dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth

The thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees

Oh hear the angel voices

Oh night divine

Oh night when Christ was born

Oh night divine

Oh night divine

The thrill of hope

the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees

Oh hear the angel voices

Oh night divine

Oh night when Christ was born

Oh night divine

Oh night divine
