<> I knew you I was right to be suspicious of you. Here you are giving away way too much inside information. You are caught red-handed. I have notified my handler and you can kiss your 87% savings account interest at the Vatican Bank good-bye.

I would like to let the "others" know - and they know who they are - that information will be forthcoming re a new password and handshake.<>

I don't think she was banned, just driven off by her own.

polycarp: By the way, Irisshlass was wrong. We're not trying to get anyone banned. She was a disruptor who did a fine job driving a wedge not only between Catholics but also between Catholic and non-Catholic friends.

Come on I discuss doctrine..that is historical as the church itself..Ya want to ping the monitor on me now or later?

[Polycarp]

Some folks make their own beds but complain when they lie in it that it was others who put the lumps in there.

I don't believe you're a part of the underground Catholic kabal on FR,

Oh what, and there aren’t various “underground non-Catholic kabals” as well, whatever that means? Give me a break.

I discern very well Poly ...vey well..
My point to you was that there are saving gospels and there are daming gospels..

Gal 1:7   Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
  
  Gal 1:8   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
  
  Gal 1:9   As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
  
  Gal 1:10   For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
  
  Gal 1:11   But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
  
  Gal 1:12   For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I left the Neverending thread for exactly what you state about baiting. I didn't complain about it, I just left the thread.

There is no underground "Catholic kabal on FR" just like there is no "Calvinist Coterie" or "Fundamentalist Federation" or "Lutheran Lair." (I could go on, this is fun)

I posted the thread, not Polycarp. And he didn't ask me to post it, either.

[american colleen]

I thought you quit FR?

[Polycarp]

I do have a problem with others bating others for the intention of getting them banned. And if you think that is not going on here, ya haven't been paying attention.

Yeah, right. The only baithing that is going on is not to get anyone banned but to get them to post their stereotypical hogwash so all know what they are about here.

The anger is that certain FReepers are so easily manipulated and predictable and that we have told you so.

The intention of getting them banned exists only in your paranoid minds, admittedly fanned into fantasmagoria by one of our own.

fantasmagoria

Can I borrow your thesaurus?

[patent]

Sure ya are, and if one of us slips up and says something bad enough about catholics, you will start pinging the mods.

You mean like RNMom does?

Come on I discuss doctrine..that is historical as the church itself..

BS. You know full well what you do, you admitted pushing the abuse button, not once, but twice on Polycarp. That isn’t even counting all the times you won’t admit it.

You cry about others pushing the abuse button, but then you do the very same thing.

Ya want to ping the monitor on me now or later?

You are as dishonest as they come. You know I don’t push the abuse button, and you have admitted that several times. Yet every time the discussion comes up you find another way to infer that I do. I’m more for open discussion than you are. You seem to have a problem with allowing open discussion when we actually quote other Calvinists and their hateful bigoted little screeds.

Huh? Did I miss something over the weekend?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

No, I just backed way off from posting, went back to work. :) I'm on a late lunch break.

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

SO, is like a chandelier going to fall anytime soon?
