Golden Compass !

You hit the target! This is why the Arminian/Catholic soteriology argument is not persuasive at all. If God really wants to save as many people as possibl...

I know of a place near Upper thomson road (Casurina road) that serves great Prata, their Indian curry also quite good (especially the chicken curry and mutton curry).........you back in Sgp meh?

breytonhartge SG

Brey, Yom Kippur is just 10 months away. Remember what is to be done for the day? Ask for forgiveness from others before God can forgive you. So don't say xie4 qi4 hua4. Be more magnanimous. Mr. Green

I commented on what I thought, since you put a public post up. But I do realise that it is not my place to tell you how you should raise your kids. Hence the comment. It is between you and Yahweh. Like I have said before, you are too sensitive.

Actually when I read that part of your quote, I thought it sounded condescending. Embarassed

Macross and protoculture have nothing to do whatsoever with going against Yahweh. The golden compass is exactly that. If you cannot see the difference, then, your problem.

Personally I see nothing wrong with watching problematic shows like Golden Compass if the intention is to guide your kids.

Surely it is better than those who have shunned the movie, then condemn the movie non-stop. When people ask whether they have seen the movie, then they go opps! Wa leow, never see the movie but still talk so much?

Regarding parenting,

Unker Eng may seems like a "anything also can" parent. Harry Potter is ok, Golden Compass is ok, Narnia is ok, Christmas is ok etc.

But I have observed, he can temper discipline with freedom very well. The same parent who allows Harry Potter also emphasize the solemnity of worship. When kids run around during service, he is displeased and thought the parents should be doing something.

I also believe he has a limit. Things like oujia board should be a no-no for his kids. Wink

Icemoon SG

There is morning prayer at the synagogue for shabbat right?

you can wake up on time? Laughing

Icemoon SG

Yup, perhaps at the end of the day, money is the deciding factor.

Also there is such thing as opportunity cost. The 2 hours could be better spent elsewhere.

I have been thinking, how long can parents "censor" problematic books or movies from their kids? Now with globalization and internet, you really can't hide from "bad" influence forever.

For 16 years, you raise your kids to be good Christians. When the time comes for them to be independent, alas, they have not been equipped with the critieria thinking skill needed to face the secular world.

Icemoon SG

I hope Brey understands why there is this impression I am trying to single him out, as if it is totally his fault and the other party is blameless.

No!

Because I believe, of all people, Brey should understand the significance of Yom Kippur and the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship with our neighbours.

May the Ruach convict him. Smile

dumbdumb! SG

ok!

Icemoon SG

He hinted no more liao.

As in, he rather go for local food. In his exchange with vince, they talk about local food.

vince69 SG

Give you one more word before I go to bed... Age appropreiate... meaning not everything also can go all the time, when young->less freedom, when older->more freedom Smile

vince69 SG

Actually, we all should remember and learn the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship with our neighbours, especially so with our brethens.

Herzog_Zwei SG

Unker, you are also getting to the point of being obnoxious. Note that kosher food is only prepared by Jews not Muslims.

Chin Eng SG

yes i am. my point being - how much local food is really kosher? so why talk about local food when it is not kosher? the closest thing is halal.... that's about it.

Chin Eng SG

actually that was the MAIN problem. you hit the nail on the head.

how can anyone say "it's not my place..." than goes on to say it.

exactly..... how much of society can one shun anyway? do we take our kids away from the Triumph section of the mall because there are bras and breasts? my style is to expose as much as it is legally acceptable and talk them out of the issues.

Thank You.... as i'd said earlier, we cannot keep media away. I have friend who keeps her children away from TV etc, but yet the child mouths Madonna music.

If you cannot keep your child away from the media because you are not on his case for 24/7, you should at least spend time with the child WITH the media and GUIDE the child along the way. Media has nothing to do with what we agree on morally or spiritually - it is just there - COPE WITH IT!

.... but, ice, thanks for your comments, and yes, - Ouija boards are out, and Santa at home and in the church is SO WRONG!

Chin Eng SG

You are entitled to your opinion.... Laughing However, please substantiate your claims, otherwise, it's libel! Also, please get a few more witnesses to these claims.... isn't it written even the Torah that when you accuse someone of something, you need witnesses????

You need to PROVE that I, CE, has become what I say you should not do when you are were mod of Eternal Hope!

I am not disagreeing your right to comment - I am just peeved that you had the audacity to state that "it is NOT YOUR PLACE..." but continue to do so.

Oh, I changed.... I stop collecting some toys and started on others. Quite strange to say that concepts like protoculture has nothing to do with going against God.... God created planets with robots???? duh

Like all other Christians, I worship Jesus.

I have never claimed to know it all - you, again, judged me. I only claim to know what I can do for my OWN children.

The programmes that you children watch ???? Dare not share? Just enlighten me a little bit... don't be shy.

Chin Eng SG

this place is NOT kosher either.... so how?

Chin Eng SG

this is probably the crux of my parenting style.

i am exposing my boys to the media to equip them with the ability to cope with the secular world.

i do not hide many things from them.

they even went through a "course" with me on all the different swear words that they will encounter. i told them: they can choose to use them or not - it's up to them. guess what, as far as i know, they have never used a swear word purely because they know it is rude and unnecessary.

during our holiday travels, we even go up in front of shops that sell pornograpy and i tell them what the business is, inside....

parenting, to me, is mentoring (note that I do not say I know it all). Mentoring someone to be able to walk on his own two feet, so that when the mentor is not around anymore, the individual can carry his own weight and doing what is right.

Seeing "National Treasure II" this afternoon..... i certainly hope that this movie will agree with my moral and spiritual upbringing Wink
