The Walk-in Freezer at Reilly's Pub

[ZooMom]

Hey. I wondered where you guys were hiding.

I need some company, so I'll even overlook the Journey blasting in my ear.

I haven't read up on the 'hot' threads, but what's up? Same-old, same-old?

 

[KC Catholic]

Oh yeah...it's the purgatory thread.

I don't care how many times we explain something or say "it just isn't so" we get told we're wrong.

When someone tells me I am incorrect in my interpretation of something I tend to take a minute and try and accept my interpretation or perception is incorrect.

Do I get the same courtsey in return? No, I get told I am wrong, wrong, wrong. Then they start getting condesending saying - 'listen here', or 'follow along with me' or 'pay attention'! Or I hear I am blind, foolish and am following the Church like a dolt.

So, I guess the short answer is 'Yes', same old same old.

 

[VOW]

To Zoo:

Yup, and the Don Quixote tilting at Purgatory windmills is an ex-Catholic.

That ought to tell you plenty!

We'll need another straw for when Wols gets here. He's fed up, too.


Peace,
~VOW

 

[ZooMom]

Oh, yeah. The 'Borg' syndrome.

Oh, well. What can you do. *shrug*

Want some pretzels with that keg?

 

[ZooMom]

Ahhh...no-one knows the 'truth' about the Church better than an ex-Catholic.

Sheesh.

/me sets out the whole box of straws and starts linking them together...


Let's see how far back from the keg we can get without a leak.

 

[VOW]

To Zoo:

Hey, too much keg and EVERYONE will "leak".....LOLOLOL!


~VOW

 

[ZooMom]

Hey! If we could make it long enough to reach the bathroom....

 

[AngelAmidala]

Hey....can I hang out here and cool off from work issues?

 

[Avila]

Speaking of ex-Catholics, my mom wants my DH and I to read this book by an ex-Catholic nun. The story is total [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth], but my mom and dad accept it as gospel truth because she "found God" and discovered her Jewish roots. Thinking about that gets me hot enough to melt the ice in the freezer.

Anyone mind if I hook a straw up to the root beer keg?

 

[VOW]

To Avila:

Hon, you've had a real rough go-round. I'll get you TWO kegs of root beer!


Peace,
~VOW

 

[Avila]

Thanks VOW!! Now, could we install a port-a-potty in the freezer for a poor preggo? Naw, maybe the extra walking will be good for me!

 

[VOW]

To Avila:

I don't think the Health Department would allow a porta-potty in the Freezer.

How's the new baby doing? You getting lots of the "bladder tapdance" now, LOL?


Peace,
~VOW

 

[Avila]

Ahhh!! Rules, schmules...

 

[seebs]

ARGH.

For the curious, have a look at the "Meet You At The Flag" thread in News & Current Events. Once again, I have allowed my temper to get the better of me.

*SIGH*.

I will now play Mario Kart, even though it's past my bedtime, because video games are soothing when I'm agitated.

A good game of counterstrike soothes up my nerves

I enjoy Roller Coaster Tycoon and Ages of Empires.

ARGH! It's happening again:

Apparently, the people who don't see things which a specific person feels are obvious are *actually not Christians*.

So, for instance, if I think that the text in 1 Romans 26-27 about "men with men" may have been a reference to Roman pagan rituals, and I'm not sure how it applies to other things, that means I'm *not a Christian*.

If I don't think that it's *CLEAR* - not just possible to observe, but *CLEAR* - that the Bible has always been firmly against slavery as it was practiced through most of the last two thousand years, that means I must not be a Christian, because *I* don't have the Holy Spirit guiding me in interpreting the Bible; we can tell this because I don't come to the "right" answers sometimes.

Clearly, I've had it wrong. I always thought we were supposed to pray, and contemplate, and seek God's will, and do so with an eye to the possible errors of those who came before us, lest we fall into their mistakes. But no; if I were a *REAL* Christian, the Holy Spirit would guide me, and I wouldn't "twist Scriptures", and I'd get the right answers immediately, and never have doubts.

!@*#*!@#*.

I like Catholics. I may disagree with you guys on some things, but at least your model of things allows for the possibility that I could have faith and seek truth, without being obliged to immediately come to the same answers as the Church every time.

I particularly like that I'm not Christian according to the "historical" definition. Wouldn't the "historical" definition of Christian include accepting transubstantiation? Do you think the guy pointing out that I'm not Christian, and therefore my attempts to understand Scripture are as irrelevant as those of any of the atheists (who, after all, cannot be scholars, because only Christians can read foreign languages), accepts transubstantiation?

!@*#!*@#.

Fuss fuss fuss.

...

Oh, dear.

I hope nothing in here needed to be *KEPT* cold.

 

[VOW]

To Seebs:

No, this is a place of respite. You come in here, chill for a while, bang on the walls, eat a few frozen hashbrowns, and then mosey out in the world again.

The door will always open for you, Hon. And then when you slam it closed (and believe me, a freezer door makes a very SATISFYING slam!), you can scream and yell to your heart's content.

Hash brown patty?



Peace,

Well, it's turning cool; we now have three people who report having aspects of their profile altered in ways that seem, well, odd.
