Seems downright scary how some flock to water and rust stains...I saw one where they had a whole shrine like setup were there pictures/candles and they were praying before the pictures and the water stain..The scriptures warn about seeking ater signs and how blessed are those with faith even tho they don't see signs..One thing with deception in the last days is that the elect won't be deceived....peace to you ..nab

hoax, mistake, or hyperreligous hysteria.
they said the same thing about the resurrection 2000 years ago.
truth be told, a lot of the "of lady of french toast" and water stains is rather silly, but Fatima and Lourds are examples of real apparitions of our Lady, sent by God Himself

perhaps.

the question was "what do you think of them?"

I answered what I think of them.

Ditto, plus the work of the adversary.
It takes more then that to offend me, I am just going to focus on Fatima, because I am more familiar with that then I am with other examples. Mary gave us this prayer "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy." I do not think a devil could tell children to pray such a prayer, I know the devils have tricks and will pose as an angel of light, but I do not think it could tell people to ask the Lord to save us and others[/FONT]

I'd add possibly demonic activity or on a rare case..an angel..of course, I beleive I have seen both angels and demons. I did not make shrines, call the press, or engage any form of worship directed in their regards. I simply prayed for, received, and thanked God for His protection.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. (2 Cor 11:13)

It's about JESUS not Mary. If you want to be duped into believing a piece of toast with a mark on it appearing to look like Mary is a sign from God I feel you need to study scripture some more.

I don't believe most people who DO believe that Marian Apparitions are true, hold to the "our lady of wonder bread" apparitions.

they point to things like Fatima, Guadalupe, and that church in Egypt (name escapes me.) not to the fishstick shaped like Mary. let's try and be HALFWAY fair at least.

don't. More than likely we'll be bickering at some time in the future, and you'll regret it.


Try as hard as you might, you can't make *everyone* hate you.

A genuine "thank you" should be genuinely accepted.

Mary
