    in the spirit of full disclosure...

    I'll second this. When I originally started looking at the Catholic faith I was also looking at the Orthodox. It was that forum that stopped my looking into that faith.

    I bought a Catholic bible. What's the scoop with the first and second story of creation?

    ATTENTION ALL MOTHERS: If I eat another PB&J sandwich for lunch I'm going to explode

    Many of the new lunch boxes come with a cool pack. You stick it in the freezer and then put it on top of whatever you want to keep cool. You could buy one of those and then carry a variety of foods.

    What do the Saints know about us?

    When I ask a Saint to pray for me I feel like I should give a ton of history, after all they don't know me and I don't know them. I have conflict with this though and usually keep it short. I wonder if maybe Saints are omniscient. If you are in Heaven and like Christ wouldn't you be omniscient...

    How do you know if you're damned?

    I'm just curious if there is a way other than the absence of God in your life which I guess would be a pretty good sign in itself. Many of you know my history somewhat but for those that don't I was a fundamentalist Protestant for about 12 years. The entire time I spent trying to convince myself...

    The Gift of Faith

    I'm afraid to post this but I will anyway. Wednesday when I left home I forgot to put my puppy in her crate. When I arrived home after work things were a mess to say the least. There were many things destroyed but nothing of real value. I keep my place neat so many of the things that were nuked...

    The Gift of Faith

    I think that Catholics are right on the money when they say that faith is a gift. Friends of mine who are Protestant always tell me the solution for me is "have faith" as if I could just decide to do so. I know this is not the case. I am fairly certain at this point that I've never had any...

    I've been officially recommended to get the New American but non-officially the New Jerusalem. Which between the two?

    Does your dealing with CF blessings correspond with your attitude towards money?

    I give 99% of mine away even though I never get much above 100 or so. One day I'm going to save 150 and change my picture. It's getting old. I could never save 150 dollars in real life though. While it would be nice, I've never had nor will I ever have enough money to give any away. So my...

    Which is the most accurate Catholic Bible?

    I'd say in part at least that is accurate. I think the Old Testament story that bothered me the most was when Uzzah was trying to steady the Ark and God killed him for touching it. It makes me furious every time I think about it. Wonder how the world would be if we killed our children every time...

    Question about already baptized Catechumen

    I just might! If it's available I want it. There are a lot of things that bother me about the process. Baptism being one. If I become Catholic then I'll ask for a "conditional." That in itself is kind of a slap in the face for me though. If I have been part of a faith whose teaching is wrong...
