Celebration of Lights set Nov. 11
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
This is the 16th year for the Celebration of Lights ceremony at Jay County Hospital. Please come help us celebrate. The lighting ceremony will be held in the hospital cafeteria on Wednesday, Nov. 11 beginning at 7 p.m.
The Jay County High School Friendship Company and The Brass Band will provide entertainment and refreshments will be served.
Sponsored by the hospital auxiliary, the Celebration of Lights helps to fund the Lifeline program - an emergency response system that provides help 24 hours a day. Lifeline is available to Jay County residents and to surrounding counties if they do not have an emergency response center. The fee for this service is just $15 a month. Lifeline allows the elderly and/or handicapped to live in their own homes knowing the help is available when they push their help button.
Lights may be placed on trees for a donation of $5 per name or couple; a strand of lights may be purchased for $100; or an entire tree of lights for $1,000. Lighting a light is a way to honor a friend, to remember an anniversary or birthday, or as a memorial for a loved one. You still have time to make your donation. Forms are available at the hospital, banks and most businesses in Jay County. We invite everyone to join us on Nov. 11. It is a beautiful sight when the lights are turned on and a good way to start your holiday season.
Come join us.

To the editor:
I have been interested in the barrage of letters about homosexuality that apparently have been sparked by the appearance of some character named Ray Boltz (I never heard of him).
This letter is being written to put a little different approach to the subject and I hope clear up some misconceptions. Although I have no disagreement with the opinions of people such as Phill Jellison and Jerry Schwieterman on the "against it" side, or with Dorcas Fields and Elizabeth Nesbitt on the "for it" side, they have missed some very important facts.
First, let's clear up some terminology. The homosexual lifestyle is anything but "gay." An alternate lifestyle; yes, definitely, but not gay. A queer lifestyle, meaning a different or strange lifestyle, is a much better description than gay.
The second item is that none of the writers have approached the extreme dangers to the physical and mental health of the participants in the homosexual lifestyle that often leads to drug addiction and the necessary criminal activities to support it.
Monogamous relationships are a rare item in the homosexual community. Homosexuals tend to change partners on a regular basis - much more often than in the heterosexual groups. That is the reason sexually-transmitted diseases, principally AIDS, for which there is no cure, spread very quickly in the homosexual community. The frightening thing about that is an infected person will not suffer any ill-effects for six or seven years, and could pass the disease around within a week after becoming infected. The treatment for an infected person can run as high as $1,000 a week. Even if a person is able to pay that, the daily routine precludes doing anything other than taking daily prescribed drug cocktails.
I could go into the psychological reasons for the rapid change of lust partners, but it would drive this letter well over the 700 word limit. Perhaps you could get two psychiatrists to express opposing points of view on this subject for your newspaper.
The third item none of the other writers have mentioned is the loss of the emotional, physical and mental satisfaction that is only gained in a man-woman relationship. The relaxing home life that is part and parcel to the man, woman and children relationship in a traditional family is never present in the so-called alternate lifestyle.
The homosexual publicity people and the cigarette publicity people have a lot in common. They are both very careful to hide the deadly side effects of the habits they are promoting.
Cigarette companies never show pictures of women with wrinkled skin with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth or men with a hole cut in their throat pulling an oxygen tank feeding their lungs.
Homosexual publicity people never let pictures of their victims dying with AIDS get out. We need to change the attitude of the courts toward the homosexuals who try to recruit young boys and girls into the homosexual lifestyle. The courts need to deal with them just as harshly as they would a 30-year-old man having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Obviously the public school system has been bullied into teaching that it is all right to be a homosexual. Even some cartoon strips have started to champion the homosexual lifestyle and haven't shown the down side of it. Some colleges are teaching acceptance of the homosexual life is the same as to tolerate the homosexual. It is not. If parents are to protect their children from this kind of indoctrination program, then they will have no choice but to go into a home school program or send their children to a private school.

Scripture
To the editor:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: II Timothy 3:16 and I Corinthians 5:9-10.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23.
I encourage you to read "23 Minutes in Hell," by author Bill Wiese. We also had the privilege of hearing him tell of his experience. I want to tell you, you do not want to go to hell. No water (always thirsty), no air (always trying to get your breath), no sleep, no food, dark, fire, in torment, can't die, all kinds of horrible creatures - maggots, spiders, snakes; horrible beyond belief.
People say "90 Minutes in Heaven" is good to read. I haven't read it yet. Enough said. It's your decision. Heaven or Hell? I want to see you in Heaven.
