Hehe ... guilty as charged
HOLD ON .. I said "I" didn't know that .. I can't speak for other catholic's
But I do know that some folks of different religions don't trust catholics ... all the catholic bashing was a hint
Yes they have .. and somehow .. someway .. they will get through this
As a matter of fact, it seemed like your comment implied some sort of underlying racism, which I am NOT comfortable with, either.
I don't think there is any significant racism left in any of the Texas Churches. Waco is not a town with a large influx of new people, and when you live in the same town your family has always been in, you tend to go to the same church your grandparents went to. Forty years ago the Churches were segregated, and today, most people are still going to grannie's church, so they are still de facto segregated and I doubt it will end.
I think I find being uncomfortable in a place that is not multi racial is as perverse as being uncomfortable in one that is integrated

HUH???? that is the stupidest thing I have every heard ...
I have found that the important thing is not the brand, but to update it every day. It doesn't do much good to be protected against last weeks viruses. I also like to have the firewall and anti virus software from the same company so I know they are working correctly together

And so, because you ASSUME they would be unwelcome if you brought them, you think it is so??
I'd say that is a reflection of YOUR ideas, rather than the ideas of the Church you were in.
In the South, MANY people attend the SAME church from cradle to grave. It has NOTHING to do with racism. Just like there have been MANY times that I have been the ONLY white boy in a gym full of blacks, it wouldn't bother me ONE BIT to sit down in a church full of Southern blacks. NOT ONE BIT. Of ANY denomination. Including the Evangelical Holiness people. I am SURE they would be among the BEST people you would EVER meet.
I have sat down to eat with black people in all black neighborhoods, and have had black people work for me. I have ALSO worked for black people. And I have also worked beside of them in the fields too.
I think you brought your Washington State impressions of the South with you, when you moved.
If I see ANY racism ANYWHERE, you can bet your sweet ass that I WILL confront it, no matter which way it is directed. (unless it is at Muslims, who have definitely asked for it)
I just got sent a virus atached to this message named "labchica" and supposedly a cure for the Klez.E virus.
"Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me."
This is not a cure it is a virus

Your Church is in no danger. They will just bleed the Vatican for all the money they can (Look for MILLIONS of idiots to suddenly REMEMBER having been molested 30 years ago).
They will try to hurt it in any way possible.
They won't succeed in killing it.
But if you think for one minute that there is not discrimination on either side then you are nuts ..
There are parts of Philly I would not dare go in .. not because they are black .. but because I am white .. and white folks are not welcomed ..
There are parts of Philly I would not dare go in .. not because they are black .. but because I am white .. and white folks are not welcomed ..
That is in the North. I don't know of any place in any black neighborhood anywhere in the South that I would be afraid to go in to at any time.

You are right .. because to kill the church they have to kill our souls
