I can’t even believe that anyone could have a different opinion on this.

NO ONE can dislike kleenex with lotion.

That’s just wrong.

😛
No…clearly, the ultimate and sole authority for wiping the nose is kleenex alone. You just take the kleenex and add the lotions of men on top of it!

It depends upon what you mean by “kleenex alone”. I know some folks claim that, but what they really mean is “kleenex and chicken soup, as long as the chicken soup doesn’t interfere with the kleenex.” :eek:

And some folks claim it’s “kleenex alone”, but they’ll also, peculiarly, accept Puffs.

So I don’t get the kleenex alone people.

It depends on whether the Puffs has the lotions of men added to it as well. If the Puffs is such that it agrees with the kleenex, then we can be assured that the Puffs is handed on by the same tissue makers. Otherwise, if the Puffs has different lotions in it, then it must be rejected as having any authenticity.

The chicken soup advocates are clearly off base, because they only believe in immersion.

Clearly. I think they started their own denomination when they disagreed with the Sola Kleenex folks way back in '08.

I’m out for the night! G’night folks! Time for :sleep:
 
KathleenGee,

I know you tried to help Calgar. I did have some good PM discussions with him. I pray he will find his way.

Peace,
Anna
I think Calgar got banned…not really sure why…I though he was trying to find his way…let us indeed pray for him.
 
Not to invalidate what others brought up here with Calgar, Anna, I was trying to hear him say he was not into that heavy anti-Catholic stuff…he in a position like a Catholic being told over and over he worships Mary, when he does not.
 
Anna, I really do love your posts. So often you say what I’d been thinking but hadn’t posted yet. We could probably be good friends. I think you rock!
. . .Glad someone thinks I “rock.” Most of the time, I feel more like the Frasier Crane character who decided to host a party for his “internet fan club”—only to discover there were only 3 members.
Anna, news flash. You are already more Catholic than most Catholics in the pew. I love reading your posts, you fiery thang you!
I usually do something to fall from grace on CAF. So, just for this one moment, allow me to do the dance. :egyptian::egyptian:
See Anna? Your fan club is growing.
::rotfl: You all are cracking me up. I now have as many fans as Frasier Crane’s internet fan club, which is a total of 3.

What more could a person ask? :extrahappy:

I always feel bad when things feel unfinished with a forum member. At this point, I agree that we must pray for him.

So, Calgar, if you are able to view this thread, there are people here praying for you.

Peace and blessings to all those seeking God’s truth,
Anna
 
The one with the lotion already in it is King, IMHO.

All jokes aside----However misguided, most of these Christians believe they are faithfully serving Christ. They are concerned for the “souls of the lost.” So, they go to extremes to “win souls” for Christ. They do not understand salvation outside of an emotional one-time experience, which proves to be empty in the long run. Maybe they are trying to fill this emptiness by focusing on what they see wrong in those who believe differently than they do.

As Paul said, we work out our salvation in fear and trembling.

Peace,
Anna

Anna,

Scott Hahn says this it this way…they are Sincere…Sincerely wrong…🙂

Coptic, Coptic, Coptic (I’m almost too tired to type that 3 times)

Well said.

BTW, I’ve read 3 of Hahn’s books and found them very helpful. 🙂

Just joking about the kleenex.
In fairness, there is nothing wrong with going to an altar (or bench or chair or whatever) and kneeling in prayer.
I have only been in one Brethren church in my life, and I was impressed by the fact that the congregation gets on their knees during prayer. I don’t know if this is the norm, in Brethren churches, but they were actually doing what the word ‘worship’ means.
Years ago I visited a small Baptist church that had been converted from either a Catholic or Episcopal church. The pastor bragged how he removed the altar rails and kneelers because “kneeling was Catholic”.:rolleyes:
 
Anna, news flash. You are already more Catholic than most Catholics in the pew. 👍
And you know this because . . . you know “most Catholics in the pew” throughout the world and are able to judge them personally? How are come-lately Anglicans “more Catholic than most Catholics” when they reject the Church founded by Christ for the salvation of the world and prefer one made by a king in the 16th century who wanted to divorce his lawful wife and marry another? No offense intended to you or Anna, but that’s the historical truth of the matter. This is off the topic of this thread.

Peace to both you and Anna.
 
As a Baptist’s wife and my personal experience I still attend the Baptist Church of my husband for special occasions when he asks me to go for a picnic or especial activity, I am clear of what they believe and I did attend the church for regular basis until my 7 years son at that time made me this question while he was in his second week attending a Baptist school "Mom I heard that Catholics are liars… Are you a liar Mommy ??? " That was enough to see the poison injected in his little mind to pull him off from that school and told my husband my desire (the long time calling I had in my soul) of coming back to the Catholic church my decision was like a knife in the middle of his chest but it is true, YES!!! the pastor of his church badmouth not only Catholics, Lutherans, Pentecostal, etc… I heard by myself if I go I want to listen the sermon they have a great knowledge of the bible that is for sure but I am not going for listening bad things about another churches, They believe in salvation by accepting Christ as Lord and savior, secured salvation once saved always saved, Baptism is not remission of sins and they don’t believe in infant Baptism neither and after being “saved” no matter what you do you don’t go to hell because Jesus purchased your soul with his blood no matter your state of grace in the moment of die. Communion is a “memorial” it sounds more to me like a funeral of Christ more than his own presence (totally absurd) it is a very chauvinist religion where woman has a second roll in marriage being submissive to the point of many are abused in silence in the name of God by the husbands and is more saved depending of how large is her skirt, all man men traditions not even clear in their own KJV bible. I can keep going on and on. I can share with them but my faith is solid as a rock in the Catholic Church and thanks God for that.

Jim Dandy, I think guanophore was just making a tongue-in-cheek comment, but surely you wouldn’t deny that many Catholics have been poorly catechized (such that they are able to adequately defend their faith, or worse, fail to follow the Church’s teachings on faith and morals).

That is not really accurate Jimdandy. Henry sought an annulment, not a divorce. And it would likely have happened if it were not for the fact that Catherine of Aragon was not the aunt of the King of Spain. Henry was only allowed to marry Catherine due to a special dispensation from the Pope.

There was at least as much politics involved as religion. But it is also true that Henry was a very wicked man.

Jim,

No offense taken. Really, guanophore was just kidding around. Probabl, because I was a Southern Baptist when I came to CAF, and now hold many Catholic beliefs.

People like guanophore who have been on multiple threads with me over the last 3 years have witnessed a change in my beliefs. In many ways, my CAF posts are like a three-year diary of one who eventually released Sola Scripture, OSAS; and embraced Infant Baptism, the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, the role of the Sacraments in salvation, the Communion of the Saints, Mary as the Ever-Virgin who intercedes for us, the Assumption of Mary, and the role of Tradition.

Peace,
Anna

JustaServant,

I know; and certainly Catholics have the right to point out the absurdity in some Protestant claims about Catholics. So many misconceptions are coming straight from many pulpits; and their is definitely an anti-Catholic culture in some Protestant Churches.

I found the posts humorous, myself. I just didn’t want us to lose sight of the fact that there is a tragic element in Protestant misconceptions and anti-Catholicism. That’s all. 🙂

Peace,
Anna
