It was from being told I was out of communion with the Church (for giving condoms out to prostitutes) and thinking I knew better than the Church that was the final straw at a time when I had other uncertainties, I guess. You need to be spiritually strong to stand up to it and I wasn't.

Well, do not feel badly. God see's the heart. Something man cannot, or simply refuses to see. OBOB really had me thinking I had made a mistake on my conversion also. I still question, wonder, etc. But that is just me. I can't be a zombie. You know, the Teachers of the Law were quite devout on following the letter of the Law but missed out completely on the Spirit of the Law. I see that there. I mean, talking about the music in Mass & not knowing what the great commission is??? Whipping out legalistic mumbo-jumbo but not knowing the simple basics of the Gospel & our calling? It's either mindless fluff threads talking about some thing or another or fighting over how other's dress or the nit-picking on Mass protocol. So believe me, I understand.

The Church?
Believers in Jesus Christ.
The name of the roof does not save you, Jesus Christ does.

Venting can be a good thing.

And yes, Nitz. Armyman's stuff has been reported and IIRC toned down a little. I went over the thread today after Suzy got done with it and his stuff was missing a few of his more stupid comments. I don't know about Kgreg because he's inhabited my ignore list for a long time now, but I agree about his posting history. He's a baiter, a flamer, a hater of all people and things that don't support his hatred of gays.

Sounds like he should contact Fred Phelps...

He and Fred, if Seebs is right about Fred's motivation, have something rather significant in common. Both of them are gay.

There is something about protesting too much.

So pleased to hear it.
And thanks Mich. I'm actually very content the way things are for me now, but when I see some threads in OBOB, I worry about the damage that may be done. If it didn't present itself so much as being the authentic voice of the church, I don't think it'd be as worrying.
