The Much Anticipated New TRL/MNL Series
After much e-conversation we have finally arrived at what we'll be talking about over the next 10 weeks or so at TRL/MNL...
"People We Love to hate: groups who've been abused, hurt, rejected and despised!"
Over the centuries there have been lots of groups who have been considered "the enemy". They've been abused, rejected, despised and hurt. Whether you're thinking about Jews during WWII, African Americans in the middle of the Twentieth Century, or Christians during the time of Nero there have always been groups who take the brunt of a culture's hatred. What makes people ? What causes certain group to be on the receiving end of the hatred? What does God have to say about all of this? The unfortunate reality is that very often the hating is done under the umbrella of religion. Does God condone hatred? What does He have to say about , about groups of people who are d, or about the ones doing the hating?
Sound intriguing? I thought so too! So show up starting Tuesday January 3rd (Or Monday January 9th) and we'll see where we end up.
The groups we're planning on tackling are:
~Other Races
~Other Religions
~Siblings
~Parents
~People in Authority (over us)
~Homosexuals
~Disabled
~Anyone Different (from us) AKA: 'Dorks, Geeks, & Nerds...Oh my!'
If you think we're missing a people group feel free to blog it here!

What about like criminals too.
and maybe criminals too,
You ttok my thing "Dorks, geeks and nerds, Oh my!" Yes, I guess it does sound intriguing. But you need to learn how to finish your sentences, cuz there's like 3 sentences that I don't think are finished.
Thanx, fixed it... don't know what went wrong. And "Yes" I did take your thing... it was a good thing!
Thanks again for the Dashboard Jesus... my wife ate the candy!
All of it?!?!
You forgot to fix one. In the 2nd paragraph 1st sentence.
Yay! You fixed it!
Some of us TRL-ers might not like old people. Like, the Convalecent Care Center, they don't like it there cuz they feel uncomfortable or something...
maybe"elderly"people
uhhhh whattabout teachers
just brainstormin!
so nobodys gonna talk t ome i see how it is
it wont let me sing up i dont know why it doesnt let my name in i guess
Sango's here! How happy we are!
Hooray!! More people! Yeah... Guess what! I might go to Facedown Fest this year!
ty u should be happy that i'm here see someone cares
i like the show cow and chicken chris u should sub for mrs.carlton again that was really fun
Huh? Whatever. Like you said a couple of weeks ago Chris, people who've hurt us in the past, or like I said, people who we hold grudges against. Those are basically the same thing, but yeah, we could hate those people.
ty aleast some one now s me
Wow, Jamie has met her match.
Okay ladies (and Ricky too!) blog here about stuff related to what's going on on Tuesday/Mondays!
So far how is it?
It's good, can't wait to go tonight! Why did we watch Madagascar though?
Watcha talking about Ricky? Madagaascar is ful of spiritual themes! Like...uh...well...
But glad you're both excited to be there! We're excited you're there too! So how's about bringing a friend next time you come?
Ok, no problem. I wanna go to Facedown Fest.
Hey, I thought of another topic when this one is done. The Fruit of The Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control(if anyone didn't know). It would be good.
I think another good one is like how to share your faith and reasons we shouldn't be ashamed about it. Cuz I know a lot of people who try and avoid the fact that they're a Christian or act as if they're not cuz they wanna fit in and not be "persecuted."
both good suggestions!
How about an "American Idol" theme? Stuff we American Idolize and put before God? Sports, money, entertainment, guy/girl relationships, what else?
I was thinking about that the other day cuz like a lot of people watch American Idol, and yeah. So I was thinking that America is just trying to brainwash us defenseless Americans with subliminal messages into thinking that we should worship tangible human things instead of the one true God. AND some things that people could worship instead of God are music ( I guess that kind of fits in the entertainment), friends, people, action heroes, themsleves, models, cell phones, STARBUCKS!! (*cough cough* Jamie *cough*) Yeah, so.... yeah.
