Church on Tuesday

Someone told me years ago that he heard that Joe Kenbedy Sr (JFK's father and US Ambassador to the UK) had a curse placed on his family by some shrivelled old gypsy woman back in the 1920s...

...they certainly have been dogged by a lot of tragic, premature family member deaths.

Joe prob deserved it though as he was a gangster and a bit of a bastard.

the culture of deference

JFK was born in 1917, the same era as my grandparents. I have 40 relatives.

My grandparents died of old age, 3 uncles died naturally in their 70's.

1 cousin died as an infant All the rest are alive. If I compare my family to the Kennedy's it does look like a curse but it is more likely that they travelled more and had far more time to die doing unusual things because of their wealth.

Not cursed but they tend to make bad decisions.

The first brother died while either piloting or following a plane packed with explosives.
Jack decided against putting the bubble top on the car in Dallas despite being warned of the dangers.
Robert was fairly relaxed about his security. I think after his death the secret service were used to protect candidates in presidential elections.
Ted Kennedy chose to drink and drive I believe.
John Jnr was at best an amateur pilot.
This girl chose drugs even though she must have known the dangers.

Bad decisions all round.

I believe curses are real and the Kennedys appear to be cursed. Why do I think curses are real? For the last 4 years after one particular event my life has been full of bad things happening to me and people close to me. Cannot really explain that with confirmation bias.

Curses don't exist, any more than crocks of gold at the end of rainbows. You yelled at a shop assistant and a curse ensued? I'm speechless.
