Good point :-D ....Like I said I agree it was pagan first but if it's good enough for the church....as is Christmas also on a pagan day. |

What the heck lets all just eat far too much chocolate and be done with it, and hard luck if that upsets anyone :-P |

You are the only one who is implying it might upset someone. |

We have been to 3 NT places this week and the word Easter is mentioned in all of them. Their hunts (not just Easter Egg) are all through the children's Easter holidays as far a I can see, all sorts, the one on Sunday was a hunt for letters to make a word, we watched them doing it, they had great fun and were learning about the garden as they did it. So maybe they had dropped the word Easter as they were not all actually at Easter. :-) |

Guinevere not sure why you're always being so confrontational with me. If you don't like any comment I make then don't read them simple. |

It's not confrontational to ask a question, surely? |

And the fact is online they at first dropped the word Easter. I can't say what local properties did on their own. |

One of my colleagues, Thamir, is a fairly conservative Muslim. He does not seem to have a problem with a pint of beer or a megafest of Easter eggs for his grandkids though. |

I don't work for the NT, although I'm a life long member. I just have a preference for the truth rather than veiled insinuations. |

I haven't done any such thing, veiled insinuations come on. |

Is there anything on this earth not capable of annoying someone, somewhere? |

Caroline | Report | 5 Apr 2017 13:40 |
Nope, for sure Dermot. |

Forgive me for preferring the truth to made up rubbish. I'll leave you to your righteous indignation. |

I'm not the one acting with righteous indignation. |

No, I wanted you to say who you thought would be upset, had the story actually been true. You still haven't. |
