a Catholic or Catholics posting conversion stories has NOTHING about denigrating another’s beliefs

Six months ago, Catholics were telling us that they never bring up, talk about, strategize over, or otherwise consume their little Catholic brains thinking about anything ‘protestant’. And yet here we are - twice in one day.

Now I suppose we could argue about whether, in the Catholic mind, the Jehovah's Witnesses qualify as 'anything protestant'. On that note, I'll allow you to go first.

If I remember correctly the statement also inluded something along the lines of they didn’t care what others did anyway. They do like to parade out the converts however. Not the ones that went jihad from being Catholic mind you.

Jehovah’s Witness, like Mormonism, is considered non-Christian by Catholics, not Protestant Christian.

It may be hard for you to wrap your brain around a conversion testimony, whether you can or not is of very little consequence.

If you want to consider it protestant bashing go for it.

And I still dont waste my time thinking about protestants and what they do or don’t think about.

I do enjoy reading conversion and reversion stories as exemplified by this very story and encourage all Catholic creepers to post as many as they can if for no other reason than it offends your tender sensibilities.

Here’s one of my favorites:

Another Protestant Converts to Catholicism – Why?

APRIL 4, 2014

News broke in early March that well-known and highly influential Christian leader Ulf Ekman had converted to Roman Catholicism (hereafter RC). Ekman had served for many years as pastor of the charismatic church, Word of Life, in Uppsala, Sweden. My interest was stirred not only because of the impact Ekman’s “conversion” will have on others but also because he cites his son’s “conversion” to Catholicism as exerting an influence on his own thinking. Benjamin Ekman was a student of mine when I taught at Wheaton College, an exceptionally bright one at that.

But all of this raises yet again the question of why certain Protestants turn to Rome. Ekman himself cites his deep yearning for unity in the body of Christ as one of the principal factors.

Guess he didn’t find Him among his protestant brethren.

If this story had been posted about a conversion from Jehovah’s Witnesses to baptist, pentacostal, or any other protestant faith there would be no Catholic jumping on the thread to put the guy down. It is not my fault that hardly anyone ever posts a story about a protestant conversion. It is only when a person converts to Catholicism that he is viciously attacked for the conversion. It’s so predictable it’s boring.
