Our Ancestors: Do They Have Any Role? by 22jumpstreet1(m): 9:57am On Oct 17, 2023
in some African societies before the coming of the colonizers, Ancestors where always carried along in any ceremony. some are even consulted when something is going wrong in the family, but when the colonizers came, they told us it was evil.
then they turn around and exalt their own. in Catholicism, holy Saturday service is not complete with out reciting the litany of the saints..like saint Denis, saint Christopher, st Perpetua, st Felicity.etc
so what do we think?

does our ancestors have any role to play ?

Forgtw what people will say.... do you have proof that the particular ancestors you have to worship will do you any good? That is, I believe, what matters to most. undecided

Can you tell us which of your particular ancestors has been good to you since you started worshipping him. Explain how you picked him for worship, how you worship him, how he communicates to you, etc. A lot of these things are not written anyone for others to know of and test for themselves. If people could test and prove these things for themselves then you would sound a lot less like a slave driver trying to enslave people in yet another scam. undecided

I don't know any of that bullsheet! Most of my dead ancestors are nothing but dust today. So, if your dead ancestors are in fact spirits as you claim, then why does your tongue get tied when asked how you were able to find that out? undecided

You can't explain it but you expect others to believe you? Anyway, I know my near ancestors are all dust because I have seen them as just that... dust. If and when you are able to explain how you came to know your ancestors as spirits, let us know then. Till then, you are no different from the con men who go around scamming people with lies they themselves don't live by. undecided
