Oh, dearest heart, I hate to be the small voice of reason but please do remember the law of three.
Okay I’ve said my piece now carry on!
Aren’t you glad that we don’t do that? We would all be out all the time for full moons, new moons and such. I do get a kick out of yell happy new year on Sam Hain! 
It really confuses some people!
My priestess has a sticker on her door with two little churchy looking people on it with a big red circle and slash through it. It’s actually pretty funny and if I can find out where she got it I will get one for you. You can put it right next to your daysleeper sign.
Hey Kricket, if you do find that out where to get that sticker, please post the link here. I need some ammo to fight all the Jesus fishes around here and a Darwin fish just ain’t gonna cut it.
I may get flamed for this but I have to to stick up for the firefighters…
It most likely was a volunteer truck. The paid companies around here would never allow one of their vehicles to be used in this manner. The Baptists probably made a donation to the local volunteer company for the use of the truck, (or more likely, someone affiliated with the church is also a volunteer firefighter) with the understanding that the truck would be “on call” and would leave if a call came in.
My husband and I are both volunteer firefighters and our company has supplied trucks for things similar (parades, fire saety week at schools, etc.) to this before (but not to announce Vacation Bible Camp!!). We also drive Santa Claus around various neighborhoods at Christmas time…for a donation, of course, that’s how we make money to operate.
It is NOT illegal to use the siren for something other than an emergency, at least not where we live. We ride in parades all the time and use our siren.
Having said all that above, I agree that using a fire truck in this way was ridiculous.
where do these people get it in their heads that just because they believe something, everyone else has to believe it anyway, I hate the mormons with their visits and commercials esp. why can’t they just leave me in peace, they’re not going to convince me to follow some toy god. :mad:
I don’t work the third shift and I don’t appreciate anybody ringing my bell at 9:00 on a Saturday (or Sunday for that matter) morning. A lot of people who work the regular shift use the weekends to catch up on sleep they might miss because they work late and/or have a lot to do when they get home. You would think that common sense would sugggest that early in the am is not the time to go knocking on someone’s door, especially with something as unimportant as that.
That’s “Samhain” one word. Pronounced “Sowan” btw.
As for the whole church/firetruck bullshit… I’d be on the phone to everyone involved bitching mightily. That is jusst wrong on so many levels… I’m pissed as hell just reading it!
Kricket,
The law of three?
grem
damn, I forgot to put in a cool sig line!
Thanks Opal, I guess not everybody know how to pronounce it.
Grem the law of three is whatever energy you send out comes back to you threefold. Good or bad.
There is also an’ it harm none. Have to watch out for that one too.
My priestess is at Avalon right now and I will ask her where she got that sticker from so I can let you know. The other one of hers that I like is “my goddess gave birth to your god”
Well, I have letters written to the editors of two papers in my area, I have the name of the pastor of the church (along with his home number–I wonder what he is doing at this hour, hmmm?) and I have left a message for someone at the church to get back to me about which fire department’s truck it was (I pretended I wanted to use them for a parade my son’s Boy Scout troop is having!) I also have someone looking up the laws in my area regarding the use of a fire siren in a non-emergency situation in an area that was not forewarned that such a disply would be taking place! I’ll keep you posted.
Kricket, rule of three? I think it got reversed somehow! I think I was punished threefold in advance of doing something bad!
You must be about to do something REALLY bad if this was just a third of it!
