:00) “children’s” Mass, the church empties out. If there is another Mass (typically ~7:00) it is much more sedate. Then a quick dinner and a nap, before the “Midnight” Mass (typically moved up to ~10:00).

Experience Design Toni Storm shirt hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt
When shown that celebrating the birth of Jesus had actually become of greater interest to people than the Experience Design Toni Storm shirt provided by his death; that the revelry of the holiday and the spirit in which many gifts were given did not honor God; that the magi whose gift-giving was being imitated were actually demon-inspired astrologers; that parents set an example for their children in lying by what they told them about Santa Claus; that “St. Nicholas” (Santa Claus) was admittedly another name for the Devil himself; and that such festivals were, as acknowledged by Cardinal Newman in his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, “the very instruments and appendages of demon-worship” the church had adopted—when made aware of these things, Jehovah’s Witnesses promptly and permanently stopped having any part in Christmas celebrations. Jehovah’s Witnesses have good times with their families and friends. But they do not participate in holidays and celebrations that are linked with pagan gods (as is true of such holidays as Easter, New Year’s Day, May Day, and Mother’s Day). (2 Cor. 6:14-17) Like the early Christians, they do not even celebrate birthdays. They also respectfully refrain from sharing in national holidays that memorialize political or military events and refrain from giving worshipful honor to national heroes. Why? Because Jehovah’s Witnesses are no part of the world.

Or just not burn Teldrassil right now because the 1975 Baltimore Claws Shirt for why Darkshore is even a flashpoint make no sense and were just hamfisted because Blizzard cannot write conflict between the two factions. Teldrassil and Lordearon would’ve been a great way to launch the next expansion when you have set up this conflict properly, but not this expansion with this logic. Lets plan this out. Hypothetical 8.0 Azeroth Cold War. 8.0 adds the same regions that were added in BFA but removes the war campaign. The War Campaign its a much bigger focus and takes place over the entire expansion. Each week could add a small new quest hub that opens up world quests in Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms. Azerite is still the focal point of this expansion since its the nuclear analogy. Azerite is no longer being shipped up the coast of Kalimdor to Teldrassil. Azerite is also discovered somewhere in the Eastern Kingdoms in a region that neither faction controls outright. Hinterlands or Arathi Highlands would work as a secondary site for Azerite that is a little closer to the Alliance and gives them an opportunity to stockpile their own, making it a more equal Cold War. Open up the leveling experience with a peace treaty instead of infiltrating Stormwind as Horde and whatever Alliance do. Then have the player meet Sylvanas/Genn (because Anduin hasn’t been given the characterization to do something like this) and be told that explicitly they are not engaging in hostilities with the opposing faction, but are engaging in covert warfare. Then you can be sent out to Kul’tiras and Zandalar to recruit more allies. During the leveling process, it could add in more quests in the enemy factions zone. For example, in the Horde quests you are opposed by enemies to the throne of Zandalar in the other zones. In Vol’dun you could have the Alliance show up to support General Jakra’zet (but not have him be working for G’huun and Zul), likewise the 1975 Baltimore Claws Shirt could have quests supporting Lady Ashvane. You could add the various factions as enemies in the zone to help support the faction cold war. Uldir works just fine as an entry raid since it has little to do with the greater faction conflict. 8.1 would start opening up the rest of Azeroth. No Siege of Zuldazar, instead it would probably be something like Invasion of Ratchet. Treat it like the Bay of Pigs (ignoring the stupidity of that actual crisis and just use it as an analogy). The raid could involve a naval blockade as an encounter since Blizz loves to do non-standard encounters. It could still be an asymmetrical raid with the Horde defending and the Alliance attacking. 8.2 could introduce a side conflict somewhere else. Maybe this is where you introduce an Old God side trip as a way for both factions to cool off, but create more minor conflicts in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms with more world quests. Maybe the raid involves a resurgence of the Black Empire, or maybe there are two small raids both focusing on faction unrest within. Maybe the Horde has to deal with a resurgent Grimtotem that were aided by the Alliance, and maybe the Alliance has to deal with a group of Highborne that never rejoined the Night Elves (or a discontent Dark Iron group, but since they are the allied race it would be a little more difficult to sell that). You could have both factions do both raids, but now that raids are balanced around the factions, you have each raid only being canon to the faction that it concerns. 8.3 could ramp up the hostilities on the borders and build up the weapons and troops at each border zone. Increase the brashness of both factions attempting to claim territory. Maybe Horde or Alliance could lose a zone permanently. No clue on the raid because I can’t think out that far and it depends on how much Old God stuff they want to do. 8.4 Now you can implement the War of Thorns. You could even have Teldrassil or Lordaeron as a raid, or both. You could pull a Siege of Orgrimmar and have an assault on Teldrassil be the start of the raid. The 1975 Baltimore Claws Shirt of raid quests show that both sides are seeing Intel that suggests that Sylvanas is going to assault Teldrassil to end the Alliance threat on the continent (instead of the stupid shipping reasoning), so the Alliance knows that Sylvanas will be weak while she is doing that. So you can end the first half with the burning of Teldrassil in a cutscene, and portal over Lordaeron to defend (and vice versa for Alliance). This would conclude the cold war and erupt into outright fighting instead of SI:7 and Nathanos doing stuff covertly. This could launch into the actual 9.0 full on faction war.
