Probably a squatter...
Much laughter and merriment. You are absolutely correct!!!!
It’s amazing the number of Catholics who accuse others of lying simply because the others won’t tell them what they want to hear, or *fess up* with personal information which would compromise their screen name.
These examples of Catholic character do more to harm the RCC than anything a Protestant has to say. Catholics tend to have a strange interpretation of what constitutes Christ like behavior.
Didn't I see you on Animal House with Dean Wormer?
Anyone who has shown himself so petty as to make a dozen posts ridiculing something as simple as attendance at a wedding has more problems than anyone can solve on an internet forum.
Anyone with a severe credibility problem throughout FR making fantastic claims and refusing to substantiate them needs to be treated accordingly.
I choose not to tell you anything more about myself or these weddings because I find those who hound FReepers from thread to thread to be creepy, devious and unChristian.
I'm not impressed with your findings. You find Calvin to be attractive, for instance.
Their motives are suspect.
There is nobody else here consistently branded a liar.
You are not someone I want anything to do with. Get it? So keep asking for my blood type and vacation plans. You won't get them.
I don't care about your blood type and vacation plans. I have never asked for them. You made a claim of being a bridesmaid at three Roman Catholic High Mass weddings. I have repeatedly asked you for the church and the year of one of them so that I might be able to bridge the credibility gap that you have established between yourself and the general FR community. You won't even answer if that one was held in a cathedral, a basilica major, a basilica minor, or a parish church. The gap is wider than the Grand Canyon.
Likewise, keep up with your idiotic remarks about Animal House and continue to bemoan a Protestant taking part in a RC high mass wedding ceremony. It's almost funny at this point.
I think that it is good that nonChristians are exposed to Christianity. Too bad that it didn't take. And I think that the Calvin Youth of Omega House are quite accurately portrayed. Both Marmalard and Niedermeyer got their most deserved and predestined rewards.
Your church is falling apart. It is hemorrhaging membership. Dozens of Protestants on this forum were baptized RC and have fled the lies Rome tries to stuff down the open gullets of those who have not yet learned to trust God and His holy word.
The numbers don't say that. The Census doesn't say that. The OPC, for instance is going to be extinct in the next four generations. Calvinism is asymptotically approaching zero in the world. Catholicism, direct from Jesus, and confirmed by such as Augustine, is the largest and fastest growing group in the world (although the Muslims are growing fast as well; they just don't have the numbers). Well? Calvin's grave is unmarked. So will be the grave of his religions.
God willing, RCs will continue to be led away from the darkness of idolatry and blasphemy and into the light of His perfect word.
Sorry; we follow Almighty God. We don't follow the religions of Calvin and Knox (who?).
We breathe, therefore we hope. In your case, just not too much.
You keep proving my points for me, don't you?
Your wish has come true...
You all don't even know what nominalism is, and you are slaves to it. You consider yourselves spiritual, but you are materialistic, not in your values but in your thinking, as your attempts to argue against transubstantiation indicate. Part of the tragedy of the so-called "Reformation" is that it cut Christians loose from their background and cast them adrift in time and thought.
They end up in Montanist ecstasy, in Manichean contempt for creation,and in gnostic schemes and calendars.
Fascinating. Very well argued. I cannot find any issue with any of these statements.
I am not the one consistently branded a liar. As a matter of fact, I do not remember being called a liar on FR. I have been called many things, but not liar. How's that credibility gap coming?
If they searched the scriptures like they searched the homepages...
I have met and had discourse with some Calvinists whom I am convinced are Christians in intent. But you are correct in that some of the Calvin Youth aftereffects rejoice in others' misfortunes, since that indicates to them that God doesn't like those unfortunates, and by extension, God loves these voyeurs.

Demanding that personal details be broadcast over the internet to prove credibility is ludicrous.
YOU FIRST. Name, address, workplace, working hours or better yet hours not at home?
That’s a shame. I’ve never known any Calvinists, at least not that I am aware of.

Now, now. Asking for year and church of one wedding in which one was a bridesmaid in order to determine if the said poster is once again a complete and unmitigated liar is not demanding any personal details. I cannot even get the information as to the type of church. Claims of serving in three High Mass weddings are fairly serious. Let me ask you this: why are you attempting to defend a ludicrous claim that has no proof and is extremely likely never to have any evidence whatsoever?
If a church has a High Mass wedding, it is likely to have several hundred weddings that year. Hardly personal information. It really looks like the poster has made yet another claim and yet again departs from the truth.

But you are correct in that some of the Calvin Youth aftereffects rejoice in others' misfortunes, since that indicates to them that God doesn't like those unfortunates, and by extension, God loves these voyeurs.1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Congrats, it appears you have found supposedly professiong believers who are not perfect.
"Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." (Pro. 30:6).
" And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one you be puffed up for one against another." (1 Cor. 4:6).
During our Indiana years, we lived in an exceedingly Protestant area (two Catholic churches in the entire county) in which all the cults were constantly warring with each other. The patterns of vandalism were rather complex to try to follow, especially since the local newspaper tended to support two of the cults and disparaged the rest. Even within the cult, there were warring factions. For instance, I believe that within the county, we had six or seven Church of Christ congregations who all hated each other even more than they hated Catholics.
I think that we had a Congregationalist and a Dutch Reformed as well. SDA, Jehovah's Witnesses (boy I had fun with them), LDS, FLDS, and a number of small independents. I knew some Calvinists there, and I was pretty good friends with a couple. Our theological discussions were pretty good as well. Good bunch. I miss them.

I have a profound problem with those who rejoice in others' misfortunes. Not perfect is one thing. Hoping for, and enjoying watching the trials and tribulations of other people is one of my hot buttons.
WELL PUT.
If they searched the scriptures like they searched the homepages...
INDEED TO THE MAX! LOL.
Sometimes it appears they are either allergic reasonable responses to Scripture.

INDEED.
However, the arrogance and cheeky brazenness of the rabid clique folks seems to know no bounds.
