You gotta give me credit guys...

It's been nice and quiet on this board since I called out the other siters for complaining and whining and being cry-babies about us talking so much about Mary over there and their (having every opportunity to talk about Jesus only) just slamming this board with more hits than Barry Bond's record.

Since I called out the blatant hypocrasy of them for focussing all their attention on the Ave Maria Board and ignoring the Jesus Christ Board, the traffic here just came to a near dead hault.

I think that's a good thing.

But the sad thing is that instead of them swarming over to the Jesus Christ Board, they continue to ignore His Board and just switch their focus on to other denominational boards.

So the text speaks for itself (as do the posts)...they certainly live up to their name in their focus on "protesting" The Universal Church.

This was a test.

And they passed it with flying colors.

There are a few here that have grown in my heart despite any theological differences we may have. The two that come to mind instantly are Emily and Knuckles. This in no way alienates the others that have come here and that have contributed in The Spirit and heart of fellowship, but they just come to mind because I generally talk to them on a daily basis.

Of course, I've been extremely creative with the wording in my posts so's to incite anti-Catholics (I just love to give them anurysms), but hey, if they weren't anti-universal Christians, then my words wouldn't affect them. That would be like a member of The KKK getting angry for being called a racist! ;D

Anyway, thank to all those who stuck around and proved me wrong about them. Love you all.

And for those that lurk? Keep lurking.

And for those that like to dip their toes in the Amazon full of Piranhas then pull it out quick, keep dipping that toe! ;D

And for those others siters who banned me and for those who are here under different names (Duh? Didn't think I recognized you huh? LOL!), it's ok...I can continue to issue you your theological spankings regardless of what alias you choose to hide under.

Thou I'd prefer you used your real names...but then again, the other siters would recognize you.

;D

I think that the "No Ban" policy has been the best thing to happen to dialogue between differing faiths.

It allows for the free exchange of ideas and opinions without any one group exercising any overwhelming influence on the exchanges.

Catholics, we get it from both ends. On the Protestant sites, we get banned for being Catholics. On the Catholic sites, we get banned for being "uncharitable" (these sites are more concerned with their image than with the truth being exchanged and are more concerned with sparing the feelings of the anti-Catholics there).

But here, with all the freedom in the world, the Protestants come here and peek here and there, but stopped engaging fully when they were confronted with uncensored, unrestricted, unchained, unrestrained universal truth.

When they don't have Protestant Mods working their back end, they can't say whatever they want without being rebutted by those they are debating.

Hence, the conversation dies.

But, I'd rather have open uncensored boring debate that heated frustrated bitter arguments with one side always being misrepresented.

Truth is always better than lies.

I'm proud not of me, but of you guys. Whether Catholic or Protestant, I'm very proud of all of you.

Those of you who are Protestants and choose to stay engaged in a Forum where you know you don't have the protection of Protestant Moderators, it shows a lot of courage and conviction for your anti-Catholic beliefs.

I respect that.

You are certainly worthy adversaries.

I bow to your bravery.
