An alarming trend is developing in the Free Republic Religion Forum in which a caucus identifier is being claimed for non-existent or impossibly defined groups. With the caucuses being self defined we see nonsense like the Sola Scriptura Caucus. Of course it doesn’t mean all Scripture, only the thread initiators or Forum Moderators definition of Scripture. Jews who believe in the Scripture of the Old Testament are excluded. Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, and Jehovah’s Witnesses are excluded even though they believe in the sufficiency of their own versions of Scripture. The not so transparent purpose of these faux caucuses is clearly to exclude a group of FReepers in a modern day repetition of “Whites Only” and “Irish Need Not Apply” prejudice. If this is allowed to stand what will we see next; caucuses so narrowly defined so as to only include one’s bridge club or to exclude an individual FReeper? How about a caucus designation for everyone but citizens from New York? How about a men’s only caucus? How about a caucus for those of us who drive BMWs? And what is being discussed in these faux caucus threads? Critical doctrinal issues such as ruggedized aircraft, home schooling, and civil unrest in Egypt. Give me a break!
I agree with ArrogantBustard and Rashputin, but I’m just a newbie.
Perhaps you could explain to curious Proddys . . .
HOW IS IT
that RC’s love the caucus system
FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES FIERCELY GUARDED AND DEFENTED TO THE NTH DEGREE
yet when Proddys begin to take more advantage of the same system
the RC’s
ABSOLUTELY CAN’T STAND IT????
. . . come unglued in even GREATER THAN USUAL
—whining
—wailing
—!!!!DEMANDING!!!! that FR conform to THEIR special 2 year old sensibilities . . .
What’s WITH that?
LOL
It's so sad, they wanted the Caucuses so Born Again Christians wouldn't bother them. I then post Caucuses for the diverse group of Christians that are a part of the Body of Christ and they can't stand it.
None of the threads I posted mentioned their church and yet they come crashing in "calling the shots". I don't believe I've crashed any of their Caucus threads why is it so hard to respect someone else.
“Doc, he lies in his sack all day long, bores me silly with great, moronic plots against the captain. He’s never carried out one of them.”
you forgot the family photos and blinking text
I’m still looking for the perfect article for my new “Popery-Free” caucus.
That's not true and even if it were true why does it matter so much to RC's? The thread doesn't mention your church. The thread is on a subject where the vast majority of people affected are Evangelical Christians and the central point to the thread was they are under attack because the majority of home schooled children have a solid Biblical world view.
If it's a topic you want to discuss post an article.
Again, if I see a Caucus designation I leave it alone. Why can't RC's?
Ahhhhhhhhh wellll
a non-answer is a screaming enough answer.
Just remember when y’all lie down at night . . .
the bloke on the inside of y’all’s eyelids is the bloke that will be facing God without a shred of defense or covering. . .
unless it’s the Blood of Jesus.
I think you are spot on. They can't just leave it alone. They have to be in control.
Regards
I’ve reluctantly been forced
BY RC’S ON FR
to the conclusion that the old claims about
THE VATICAN AND !!!!CONTROL!!!!
are quite accurate.
And, that level of control invariably is demonic.
Some have traced it back to the Tower of Babel.
Great movie indeed.
Incredible sense of exhultation when the blinking palm tree goes overboard.
To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain; Jim RobinsonYou're gonna get the religion forum closed down if you don't stop with this crap, JR has said hes about had enough of it, if you think this thread is gonna help....you will see what I mean very shortly.Good. The infighting on these threads only discredits Christianity as a whole, making all Christians a laughing stock.
Jim,
Do us all a favor.
Shut down the Religion Forum Ghetto.
What was true 8 years ago, is even more true, and obviously so, today.
Out of 35 posts, 10 were made by one person. Amazing.
Omnes bases vostri are belong nobis. [There is no Latin adequate to “are belong.”]
Of course, I remember a few years ago non-Catholics swarmed a Catholic Caucus thread. Nothing was done for a few hundred posts and then the Caucus designation was pulled.
Put not your trust in princes.(ps 143 KJV)
Any bets that a single person under 40 gets that reference?
The RM made the decision. I only asked why and stated why I thought it was non caucus. I honestly don’t recall any other time I have questioned one of the SS caucuses. I’ll gladly stand corrected.
I love it. And I very much like the addition of “whiner’s caucus.”
