Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah delivered the words of encouragement, saying, “Welcome, our family members from abroad. I can guess how difficult it is for you to live in a foreign country, because many Korean people also went abroad to work two or three decades ago. Pick yourselves up though you have difficulties. There’s a Korean old saying about the time of Chuseok (which is Korean harvest festival and also called Hangawi): “No more or less, but just be like Hangawi.” It means that all is abundant at Hangawi. We have prepared songpyon a special rice cake for Chuseok, and other festive food for you. Enjoy the food and be healthy.”

So… I thought the wmscog was against man-made traditions.

FTOS, what do you have to say about this?

[Disturbed]

@Genny…it's ok if its Korean festival LOL

[Simon]

its okay if its not religious

[MountainMom]

They sure aren't for Thanksgiving, which is also a form of harvest festival.

[Disturbed]

You have to be some kind of person to allow people to call you god.  I guess her excuse on judgment day will be that she didnt tell people to call her that…it was their free will. Rejected! Fast pass to HELL

I was told Thanksgiving was good so long as there was no service or praying over it

[MountainMom]

In the Chicago Zion my son was told right from the start that Thanksgiving was a religious holiday and he wasn't to observe it.  I tol him it was a harvest festival, but that people are free to give thanks to God on any day they choose.

[Disturbed]

the new thing now is to have members spend time with family on holidays so they can say they're not the cause of families breaking up. Too late! I read some blogs that have members from 2006-07 making the same claims that families were broken up by the church
