*wanders in Hi lovelies. :) It has been forever since I've been around. I don't think I know anyone in this thread any more, besides April and Becky. It is nice to meet all the rest of you--although I wish it were in a happier thread. :hug:s for everyone. I am such a mess right now...

argh. after a long absence from CF, I hath returned. And I'm not in a good state. =( Being at home this holiday break has been pretty much emotional torture. For reasons I don't care to explain here. But, it hasn't been easy/fun/relaxing enjoyable, being home. It has been a struggle...

It ain't easy living with parents who insist on trying to change you and make you a good right-wing heterosexual evangelical Christian again--even if it's only when school's not in session. =/ It sure makes recovery from SI more difficult...

Yes! Thank you to everyone who participated. :) As an Arizona girl now living in Massachusetts for college....I was thrilled by the turnout in both states.

Okay. so. I understand where you're coming from with the first bit. I think you're wrong, because I think you're taking the verses that support what you say out of context, but I understand where you're coming from. BUT. the second thing you said...what? references? When in all of...

My neighbor is my roommate, whose constant desire to talk about a certain issue is annoying me. My neighbor is the "church boy" who swore at me, and told me he assumed that I was "at least pretending to be Christian" when he found out I voted against the constitutional...

1. Yes. I believe that sexuality is intended to be life-giving (broadly meant. Not, like literally making a baby. But giving life to the people involved in the actions). I absolutely believe that people can and do abuse their sexual freedom--resulting in situations which are not...

=) I concur. You are loved by the one who created you to be you. I am a gay woman myself and this is something that I still struggle to realize and accept. My heart goes out to you. I pray that you will come to know yourself and love yourself as God loves you. And that you will have only...

Hi hi hi. I have sort of the opposite problem. My parents are wonderful people, who happen to be dreadfully conservative and who desire my sister and I to follow in their footsteps and become affluent middle class members of society. :P I am a ridiculously left-leaning girl who has a hard...

Thanks, CelticRose. :) I'll be visiting a Quaker meeting tomorrow...I'm looking forward to it.

Why do the meetings have "monthly" in their name? They still meet every Sunday, even if it says "monthly," right? :scratch: What should I "expect" at a meeting? What sort of dress is considered appropriate? Are jeans and a t-shirt fine or should I put on something little nicer or do the...

Awww. We just started our monsoon season in Arizoa...things aren't nearly so green as they are for you, ha. But the desert is starting to bloom. ^_^ It makes me happy. :)

Anyone else in here interested in liberation theology? I'm just starting to get acquainted with it--so far it seems to line up wonderfully with my beliefs about the gospel and social justice. I'm currently going through a book by a South African liberation theologian on being a socially...

Sad. :( It's closed now and I can't vote.

TANSTAAFL--There Ain't No Such Thing as A Free Lunch. Where do we go? I'm not really sure...

TAGLAB...I like it. :D At my college we have ABiGaLe...although the A there stands for "allies" not asexuals, since no one knew about asexuality when the group was founded. AABiGaLe...hm....

/me wanders into WWMC after being off CF for a looong time. Heh. This is my first time in this forum--I spent most of my time in Teens and (first) Semper Reformada and then (after a fun conversion) OBOB. :wave: I hope I stick around long enough to get to know some of you folks. I just...

No...there was nothing at all. No sprinkling, no Kyrie... Come to think of it, I don't think we said the Nicene or Apostles' creed either. There was the processional and then the priest welcomed us and then... there was the liturgy of the word. I was really thrown off. This is the first time...

I go to a Jesuit college and this fall, I will be going on a retreat through our chaplain's office that goes through the spiritual exercises of St Ignatius. I'm looking forward to it even more after hearing how you're enjoying that book. :)

At Mass today, we skipped the penitential rite. ...Is there any reason that this might be done? Is it permissible? Does it have anything to do with today being Pentecost?
