If there were any inebriants roaming around in our neighborhood last night then they were much quieter. No knocking, bashing, kicker of doors at 1 and 2 in the morning.

Praise the lord, maybe this crowd got to them and saved the bejasus out of them, though more likely a bad headache or lack of funds played a larger role.

What a load of balderdash contained in that shameful fund raising spiel.

Hi Brian, just got back from St Johns. I saw a traditional folk drumming group from Labrador while I was there, will be posting pics soon. Had a great time, I think I should have been born a Newfoundlander!

Glade you enjoyed your break, we are going on weeks sabbatical too come Wednesday.

We have a chap staying at moment that plays in the St. John’s Inuit drum dancer’s troupe. He is a musician gone back to school studying music in the media.

Its good to see someone commenting on this group. They certainly are someone to be questioned for their motives, practices and beliefs. Many of the comments on some of the various sites are quite blasphemous and certainly insulting for Nainimuit. Circulating in Nain is a paper titled “ Strategic Prayer Strategy” which was read in the Moravian Church in Nain, by a group sponsored by SLM. This prayer’ has certain comments such as ‘I forgive my ancestors for the effect of their sins on my descendants. We confess that my ancestors we involved in the sin of idoltry. We repent the shedding of blood through assisted suicide of the elderly and sick of our ancestors. We repent that my ancestors and I have been involved in the sin of bloodshed. We repent the shedding of blood of the Moravian Missianoaries… more particularly John Ehrhardt..We ask for forgiveness for any illegitimate births that have taken place within our ancestral lineage. We pray that all curses on the land that exist due to our and our ancestors sine be broken and nullified..” To think this is the same group who are planning on setting up a building in Nain and who are canvassing donations in the outside world is sickening. I hope many residents of Nain read this and become aware of the truths, and to those outside hear the real story. Nain does have problems, but it is also a normal, average, modern community, who does not NEED these people with their distorted views, bribery and beliefs.
