Refusing to buckle to her worst fears, Joan Rivers’ daughter is keeping her “fingers crossed” that a miracle will bring the 81-year-old comedic legend back from the brink of death.

I also got your point, Hildy, I understand what you posited...and I agree with your right to make the point you did.....even though others are spinning your clearly-put words into tortuous paths just for the sake of provoking religious warfare on this thread.

I know. It’s hard to explain something that others can never understand. I can admit that is the argument on the other side as well. That is why all we can ever as for is kindness and respect. And that’s all I was trying to convey.

[Phosgood]

Why is that an issue?

with all the @#$$%$@$@%$# going on in the world, why are we asking the Lord to place his focus on her cosmetic frivolities ?

[SoCar]

Hildy I hear you and understand completely. I am also Jewish and I too was put off by the first posters words. Thanks for speaking out.

Prayers for Joan.

[Phosgood]

This thread isn’t about you
You give all Jews a bad name with your victim mentality.

[Hildy]

Unbelievable.

[Vermont Lt]

And you wonder why Jews are sometimes thought of as “difficult.” When I was a kid I learned to accept gifts as they are offered.

Some day you will find God doesn’t really give a hoot about the differences.

No one is saying you need to accept Christ. We all respect the Jewish religion.

We simply think you guys are picking nits. That whole episode could have been handled in a much better manner. I understand our point, but your “victim” approach is distasteful to a lot of people.

[rabidralph]

Absolutely. And we both worship the same God.

” Has nothing whatsoever to do with PC, but rather, respect for the faith of the person for whom one is praying.”

So another word you are asking people to be PC and to not respond out of kindness no matter what their religious principles....right, got ya!(thumbs up with sarcastic wink!)

[Hildy]

Did you bother to read the post I was referring to. It is post number one. The one where he says Joan should accept Christ. But thank you for telling me how you feel about Jews. My Daddy used to tell me that people who don’t like Jews always end up revealing themselves. My Dad was the smartest man I’ve ever known.

[EDINVA]

Could you rephrase that, in English please?

[mdmathis6]

Nope! The response you really deserve to get would get me kicked off FR!

[Bill93]

You do realize that from a Jewish perspective Stars and Stripes forever is praying for Joan Rivers to commit apostasy by worshipping a blasphemer who proclaimed himself to be God. What could someone do that is worse than pretending to be God and the misleading countless people to follow him, many of whom turned around and persecuted and murdered Jews over the course of thousands of years?

Don’t you think another Jew just might find that abhorrent? How would you feel if somebody started out their prayer asking you to accept Barack Obama as your Lord and Savior? Well, from a Jewish perspective is it unreasonable to think that asking for someone to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior just might be even worse than that?

[Kickass Conservative]

After reading these Posts, all I can say is this.

If an 81 Year Old Jewish Woman Comic can get a gig Advertising Dodge Hemi’s, she can do anything.

Prayers for Joan Rivers.

But Jews do not accept JC as any sort of deity at all. Not as a L-rd and Savior. Nothing. Therefore, your statement that Ms. Rivers "has to accept JC before she stands before G-d" is not true. She will, as a Jew, eventually stand before G-d, but that's the Main Man, G-d, the one who dictated the 10 Commandants to Moses, the one who parted the Red Sea, the one who brought the Jews out of Egypt, that G-d. Only Him. As far as we're concerned, He has no apprentice or anyone else.

YOUR bible says that JC is the "son of G-d", not ours. YOU might have to accept him as L-rd, but WE DO NOT.

It is disrespectful to Jewish belief that you insist on using this sad occasion as an opportunity to proselytize. That's not my "burden to carry" that's my statement of fact.

Now how about I dial up Achmed and have him dictate to YOU how you have to believe. I'm guessing it will be a treat for you!

You do realize that from a Jewish perspective Stars and Stripes forever is praying for Joan Rivers to commit apostasy by worshipping a blasphemer who proclaimed himself to be God.

Then Jews should not ask for Christians to pray for them. Christians pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. If that offends Jews, then they certainly shouldn't expect that the prayers of Christians, who apparently are directing their prayers to a Blaspheming charlatan, would be of any value. Indeed, if they feel as you suggest, they would be appalled that any Christian would offer up a prayer on their behalf to their false deity.

Put the bottle away and get some sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning. A little embarrassed maybe, but better.

[Blue Jays]

She has struck me as an interesting and entertaining person.
My wish is she has a full, speedy, and painless recovery.

[fatima]

That’s strong-My Jewish friend who was dying told me a joke.She said “A Jewish Man died and went to Heaven.It was Beautiful and God met him there.He heard a loud noise off to his left and saw a high wall.He asked God what is that.God said Oh that’s the Catholic’s ,we put them behind a wall because they think they are the only one’s here”Joan would have liked that one.

[mdmathis6]

I don’t drink but you come across as being tipsy! I work nights so I am awake most nights...maybe you need to go to sleep and stop obsessing over the non-PC expression of Christian conscience!
