    • https://www.bhphotovideo.com/   - They openly admit it.

    www.newegg.com  - They have their shopping cart functionality turned off for some undetermined reason. "How convenient".

    Any others?

    • Gee, it sure would be nice if folks decided to shut down for Sundays also. I'm upset businesses don't show US any love once in a while too.  ::)

    (However, if gas stations, for example, shut down on Sundays there would be quite a smaller number a pew warmers for plenty of Trad chapels)

    • Here in Central Minnesota, nearly everything is closed on Sundays - even the liquor stores.

    B&H will be closed starting at 1pm ET on Wed Sep 20 through Sat Sep 23.
    We will reopen at 10am on Sun Sep 24

    They're closed for a stupid Jєωιѕн "holiday" and then they promptly open for business on the Lord's Day.

    Perfidious Jєωιѕн bastards.

    • Since they are obviously observant Jєωs you would expect something else?  Why do business with "perfidious Jєωιѕн bastards"?

    B and H is a store in New York City owned by Jєωs. They are openly religious and their store is closed on Friday afternoons and Saturdays and Jєωιѕн holidays. I think it would be great if Catholics would close their stores on Sundays and holy days of obligation.

    Rosh Hashanah is big enough of a holiday that even the secular Jєωs take time off.

    In the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) any student or teacher can take off Rosh Hashana or Yom Kappur without question, but just try to get August 15th off. They'll tell you they checked with the local chancery office and were told that there is no more holy day on August 15th, because it has been moved to the nearest Sunday.
    .
    They moved Ascension Thursday to the following Sunday, too. And it looks like they're moving Nov. 1st this year, a Wednesday, to the following Sunday. They've been talking about moving Christmas and Easter as well.
    .
    But apparently January 1st (so-called Mother of God, but traditionally the Feast of the Circuмcision) is not on the chopping block just yet since it's a secular holiday, "New Year's."

    The Jєωιѕн and Muslim holidays do not deserve time off, only Christian holidays do. Tell the LAUSD that Catholicism made it so the cannibalistic pagan Indians could go to heaven while Judaism is responsible for the death of Jesus Christ.

    Sorry Matthew, I don't get your obvious anger here. Am I missing something? Are you suggesting that it is somehow wrong for Jєωιѕн business owners to close their business in observation of their religious festivals? Or is your difficulty that Catholic business owners don't do similar on Holy Days of the Church.
    I'm not being obtuse here btw - I'd really like to understand why this makes you so upset that you use profanities to describe your Jєωιѕн neighbours.

    • If you aren't on the way to being baptized, as with infants, then it's wrong to be not Catholic.

    It may be prudent to tolerate error, but error it remains.

    The word "bastard" is profanity?

    With all due ma'am/miss, how do you propose avoiding it, short of not "doing business" at all?

    Even a truly Catholic religious community would be hard pressed.

    Perhaps a hermitage?

    In the US, for one, the Federal Reserve is run by Jєωs. How exactly do we rightly extricate ourselves from the entire economy?

    • While it may in whole or part be their doing, save in the offering it really isn't their fault if someone else takes the shekels in exchange for souls; perhaps this is what Matthew is struggling to articulate.

    In the context and with the tone which it is used here, yes I think so. You disagree?

    I'm unsure what it would be a profanation of, though I could be mistaken; it's been know to happen a time or two... a minute.

    Perhaps "vulgarity", would be more applicable?
