What do you think was the lure for the Catholics?

---

For me, as I said above, I was confronted by someone who would become family and who was also raised Catholic. She ''showed'' me that everything, and I mean everything I was taught, raised with, believed in was a huge facade, a big lie! I remember my 5 year old nephew telling me: ''Jesus wasn't born on Christmas, that's a big fat lie!''

So, here I was, rebelling against Mom and Dad, questioning everything I'd ever believed was true about God, and these sweet, loving people at my first twig just seemed to understand everything I was going through. I was being accepted, something I never really had, even from my Mom and Dad. THAT was my hook! Acceptance and love.

To this day I struggle with acceptance and self confidence because, like most of us here, we were abused as children. In my case, sexually, emotionally and physically.

They knew the right buttons to push, that's all.

My decent into the TWI elitist mindset was fueled by someone telling me that everything that I believed in and was taught in my ''formative'' years was a ''crock and I'd better remove that idolatrous gold cross from around my neck; after all, if he were killed by a firing squad, wouldya wear a gun???'' -->

Made me question everything, and from that point on I never really knew what to believe.

Fast forward about 10 years later (now) I have a real relationship with the Father and NOT, NOT, NOT because of any church or ministry or any religious politically and socially motivated group. It's just me and Him and that's the way I like it. Uh Huh, Uh Huh...

Izit too early for a tenative head count fer the roast??? I have a surprise for everyone, and I'd like to know what I'm in for so's I can prepare...

So glad Shells and Radar's a'comin'! YAYYYYYYYYY!!! :D-->

ABSOLUTELY!!! Our God is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay BIGGER than any pain or disease! I pray for a complete and total healing of your body, mind and spirit! In Jesus' MIGHTY name!

Brutha and Sista OLM's...I woke up this mornin' with a familiar tune in my head:

Wish that I was on 'ol Monkey Top down in the Tennesee Hills

Ain't no smoggy smoke on Monkey Top, ain't no telephone bills...

Once I had a girl on Monkey Top, half sea monkey the other half cat, wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that...

Monkey Top, you'll always be, home sweet home to me!

Good 'ol Monkey Top, Monkey Top Tennesee!!

Hmmmmmmmmmm...mebee we'll see some fellow Amazing Sea Monkeys at the weenie roast!

How exciting!!! :D-->

:(--> Yep, Dovie...so sad that folks could be so cruel...

Maybe put an ad in the local paper and offer a small reward. Money tawks, unfortunately and it may flush out the puppy nappers...

Praying that he gets returned real soon!

((((((((((Hopefull))))))))))) me 'ol chatroom bud...here's to a wonderful b-day for you...and HOPE ;)--> I see you at the Weenie Roast...

Love you...

-Colleen

Happiest of birthdays NK...from one Knoxville (area) native to another...;)-->

Yours is New (knoxville)...mine's not so new...hope your day is a blast!

Mr. Freaky says he'll make a big 'ol pot of chilli too...HA! Remeinds me of the bean scene in Blazing Saddles...sittin' 'round the campfire, tootin' a tune! ;)-->

I wonder what the definition of ''vituous woman'' is in the TWI dictionary...I wonder if there's pictures of said creature....(shudder)

I dunno brutha and sista OLM's...I feel the need for contrition or sumpin'...all my fellow classmonkeys want to do is....

PARTAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!

Mebee we've all been ''terasoed'' by that Dark Monkey...mebee he's trying to lead us down the path of unrighteousness...mebee he wants me to get one of dem 3x5 cards?????? :(--> -->

Sister alasuprememonkeyness....

It simply means:

''Party over here, party over there, everywhere! This is your night Monkeys you got to be there! 'Cause it's Monkey's night and the feelin's right, yes it's Monkey's night, oh what a night...''

That's a literal translation according to usage of course.

I'd be more than happy to cook up a few things...any suggestions/requests?

I picture all the skunk and rat politicians trying to do damage control after such disparaging remarks to their species...;)-->

Happiest of birthdays dear Dougie!

Seeya inna chatroom! :D-->
