I don't fully remember what it was like in the catholic churches I went to long ago.... but I do remember putting the "holy" water on myself in the wrong pattern
uh oh.... i forgot again..What is the wrong pattern?
i got a disgusting true story. i never used to wash my hands ever. never ever. only in the shower. i didnt get sick anymore often than anyone else. didnt seem to make any difference.You know some medical students did an analysis of different places where germ and viruses fester ie., bathrooms, public handrails, doorknobs and they also tested holy water ...holy water was the most germ filled place of them all....to be avoided at all costs.
I told this to R.Catholic once to make a point about traditions etc. , they were not impressed ....and I am sure they thought I was a heretic.
Maybe it is our resident troll.
this is something that should wake up any catholics reading this. where does all this stuff come from? holy water, rosaries, hail marys, asking people beyond the grave to incercede for you, mother of God, penance, re-sacrificing of Christ, the pope, statues, golden palaces and relics. << none of those are found in the bible as something that happens in the new testament church. not in any church did any of this ever happen and i know that if any jews in the time of Jesus would see whats going on in there they would call it idolatry very fast.I don't fully remember what it was like in the catholic churches I went to long ago.... but I do remember putting the "holy" water on myself in the wrong pattern
Wrong again Jesus devaluer.....!
I think Trolls hope Christians go at one another like this. Even when a Christian is going after that one that poses as a Christian and actually is the Troll. Having to do I think with the admonition of our Lord that we love our neighbors as ourselves, and also love those who do bad unto us. Like unto goading , the Troll likes to see how many buttons they can push to make all those teachings of Jesus get cast aside so that we show in our words we don't love the Trolling kind. Instead we tire quickly of their efforts, and just wish them gone.
Then again, could one who commits to trolling Christians actually know what love is? Is trolling an example of them loving themselves more than to do that?
Maybe Trolls are God's opportunity for us to practice what He preached.
He certainly challenges me to practice, practice, practice, in that way.When I fail I just tell Jesus, it could be because I feel sorry that their bridge is so lonely without them.
)Sorry Lord, I thought that was funny(
If I had to guess it may just be because it is the same water (i assume they "bless" batches opposed to just use fresh tap water daily.....) sitting out.... not only can it stagnate but alllll the people just dip their hands in it introducing new sorts of germs...
Just my guess though...
Romans out of context is what he will give you
Rest assured, I was not referring to you in any way. And I apologize and ask you to forgive me if my words in my prior post hurt your feelings thinking I was talking about you. I was speaking generally to the issue of Trolling, as that has come into this thread. And then the back and forth among members in that regard is what prompted me to post about that issue itself.Rest assured I am not a troll, now some may have accused me of being a trollop back in the day...
...but I can I assure you...
that was only hearsay, speculation, gossip and innuendo
