    Being healed outside the Catholic Church

    Greetings All, What is the position of the Catholic Church on a Catholic being healed outside of the Catholic faith? For example, how would the Catholic Church view both the Catholic and the service if a Catholic attended a healing service of another Christian faith and was healed there...

    Video Game Junkies

    So, are there any other video game junkies in OBOB? Personally I love all of the Battlefield line (1942, Vietnam, 2, Desert Combat, etc). I play almost all of the FPS (first person shooters) but enjoy team (squad)games the best. I also play many RTS (Real Time Strategy) games with Starcraft...

    Stuck in "Should have" mode

    Shoud've Could've Would've One of my best friends has always said that these are the three most useless statements ever! Unfortunately I am finding myself stuck in "Should have" mode. I finally got Social Security Disability (after fighting almost 5 years for it!). Just as I got it, my...

    Eeeek! Help! (broadband problem)

    I went to Comcasts office yesterday and picked up the starter kit for broadband. I had it before so I knew it would work here. I figured it would be a snap only to run into some problems that have the people at Comcast, as well as many of my friends, scratching their heads. Everything on the...

    Alright, what am I missing? (computer/CF problem)

    I posted this in the "Report Bugs" area, but figured it might be a good idea to ask here as well. When I log in to CF everything looks the way it should. It shows when I was last here, and what threads and areas have been active since I left. The problem is no matter where I go, the first area...

    Ignorance is bliss . . .

    . . . and there are times when it is difficult to choose between ignorance and informed. In this case, I just wish it wasn't so. I am a fan of US History. It has always been a favorite subject. One of the many periods in US History I enjoy most is the Civil War. Being a proper Southerner I...

    His Strange Ways . . . (or "His Plans")

    My favorite verse for some time now has been Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Ironically, even though this is a favorite verse, I still find that from time to time I will...

    Miraculous Healings: A big THANK YOU (especially to you OBOB)

    I posted this in the members news section but wanted to expand on it here. THANK YOU to everyone who has kept me in their prayers. I have gone through what can only be described as a miraculous healing. In the beginning of July I started with doctor number 42. She was the first doctor who said...

    I need some help defending Catholicism

    Greetings All, On another smaller Christian board I am one of only a few Catholics. In hopes of learning how to better represent my faith I have been trying to answer any anti-Catholic claims. I really need to find a good book or website that addresses all the points that we often have to...

    For the SciFi fans out there :)

    Hey Gang, Recently I found out that quite a few of us enjoy Science Fiction shows of various sorts. I have a neat link for a site that compares the sizes of ships to one another. One of the neat things is you can click on a ship and move it around to see how it looks next to another ship. The...

    Another Prayer Request

    I have had so many of these but there are two situations I would like to ask prayer for. The first one is for my family. My mom and my sister have been having a difficult time lately and having to help take care of me is a burden I wish they didn't have to deal with. The second one is two...

    Encouragement during trying times from Mother Teresa

    Greetings All, Many of us have taken a beating lately from a variety of sources. I had asked about this in the Freezer and only just now found it again. It is something great to repeat to yourself (kind of like counting to ten- though I have had to say this many more times then that to help...

    Quest for the Holy Grail

    Greetings All, Something I thought would be neat is if OBOB would band together to get the Holy Grail. We could elect one of our "Knights" to be the keeper of the Grail with everyone contributing blessings so they could buy the Grail. What do you all think?

    I guess I couldn't dodge it forever . . .

    Greetings All, I just got back last night from being in the hospital all weekend. I can count myself as being very blessed in that I managed to stay out of it for so long considering what MSA usually does to people. I had to be taken to the hospital on Friday from a MSA version of a heart...

    A prayer request

    Greetings All, Have I mentioned that being sick really really sucks? ;) Why couldn't I get something people are at least familiar with like MS? Instead I get the less fun one known as MSA- Multiple System Atrophy. As many of you know, there are both positive and negative stress. For most...

    Something really neat :)

    Greetings All, I have something really special to share. Initially I hadn't planned on announcing returning to the Catholic faith here at CF. My initial thoughts were to create a new account and stop posting on this account. BAChristian, and his insight, threw a wrench into my plans when he...

    The Lord's mysterious ways (I am returning home)

    Greetings Everyone, I have fantastic news for OBOB. Hopefully my PRE brothers and sisters will find it just as joyful. :) I am returning home to the Catholic Church. :) BAChristian and I exchanged some heated PMs tonight, but in one of them he showed that he knew what I was feeling. He...

    "Evil wins when good men sit by and do nothing"

    "Evil wins when good men sit by and do nothing" Just when I didn't think I had any more I thought of the above. I don't think there is scripture to back that up but figured I should ask to make sure. Is there scripture that supports that line?
