TigrannesIII Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 1)Marry another Armenian. For centuries our women have been stolen from us by Moslems for purposes of rape and forced assimilation, in free societies we must keep them close to us. Do not even talk to odars. 2)Pass the language onto the next generation. If the language is lost, the new generation should make all possible strides to learn it. 3)Keep the religion. How many millions of Armenians have died simply for being Christian??? To leave the church is perhaps the ultimate form of betrayal, not only to your people, but to your ancestors. It is also essential to keep Christian morals. We all know what these are. This goes for both sexes. I have to go now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThornyRose Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Half of my ancestors were forced to leave their land, if they themselves did not choose to, because they were Muslim. About "betrayal of ancestors," - I'm glad nobody has brainwashed me to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernaut Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 100% agree with Tigran, we owe it to our ancestors, its as simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshnork Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 Why should being an Armenian restrict us and take away our freedom? If someone marries, it should be out of love, not some imaginary honor code. And since when are we not allowed to have freedom of religion because we have "ian" attached to our last names? One should worship in church because they believe in Jesus, not because not doing so would be "the ultimate betrayal to one's ancestors." Being Armenian is not about following rules.

Juggernaut Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 quoteBeing Armenian is not about following rules. There are no rules set in stone, each of us does as they believe. If marrying a Chinese is you wish, then do as you please, but you wont get any respect from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
