And that much I do agree with you in.

that same fellow who started the thread you referenced?

did you notice that final crack about exchanging Christmas gifts?

That's not like any Local Church places I ever visited or heard about.

I was always in Irving or Anaheim on Xmas eve.


I didn't want to respond to it there because I don't want to make a big deal out of something like that but that's really inconsistent with the facts that I know. In general, Local Church people would be advised by their peers and elders not to engage in holiday gift giving which might distract those around them from the reality of Christ. A position which is not uniquely Local Church, either, of course, but for whatever reason, that fellow hasn't yet heard about the dangers of idolatry that surround him at the end of the year.
