Dear grams, it was not your posts that got the thread shut down. It had turned into everything we don't want on a Christian forum; everyone seems to need their pound of flesh.

I will attempt to keep a closer eye on the new thread you start. Thanks.

I was told in my Question about the Pop being ? given a Saint position , why we are all ready Saints !

I was told I was not really telling the truth.

and one thing lead to another. I had mentioned I was a Catholic for some
50 years.
Did not want to hurt any one and was just telling why and how I left.

And then mentioned what went on in my Catholic Church.
To begin with in those day's you did not question a adult !
they were correct and that was that.
The parish Priest ? Reverend ? Owner ?

Was prejudice ! He had friends or what ever you want to call it in places that helped him.
He kept out of his neighbor hood , who ever he did not want !
The nuns were not very nice, only a few.
I felt sorry for the boys, they were getting their hair pulled all the time.
The nuns had rulers and yard stick they used every day !

We were never told to use or get a bible !
We had prayer books and rosaries !
We had mass to attend every day but Sat.
And mass was in Latin and other speaking in Polish.
Which I did not know either......
Sunday they had us attend the one service in the morning which was in those
Languages. But the later mass was in Latin , but the speaking of other things was in English which we could not attend.

How can a child learn any thing like that ?
And in school I missed a lot being not able to go to the dentist, I had ear aches and bad teeth.
I was made fun of and the nun did not care !
The nuns had their favorite, those who had money of course and we were poor that is why I did not go to the dentist or doctor .
But all through that , I still stayed Catholic.
You were not allowed to go to any church but the Catholic Church.
One of the children asked if they could go to a wedding or funeral and the nun told them , you have to have permission.
Now this is only part of what I had to live with.
After , our children were born and in there teens, they started to go to other churches. And finally got us to go.
All those years being a good Catholic girls , I felt I was going to hell !
And was afraid of death and dying.

We went to a church with no religion, just a bible church.
And I became saved. Oh ! How wonderful that was to know the truth.
And it is there in the bible for me to see .

I do know the Catholic church has now changed !
But I could not go back after all of that .

If I had at least been saved , and not afraid of dying all those 50 some years.
I could go back even after all of the things I suffered through.

But not knowing the wonderful GOD we have and how HE sent HIS SON to the cross for all of the sins of the world , in who would believe is so GREAT !
I never once heard of this back then.

Again I am not here to hurt any one , but to know how things were back then !

Well, if you were lying, my wife must have been doing the same because she went through very similar things in Parochial Schools until her parents took her out of them after the eighth grade.

I always attended public schools so I missed out on the fun you had. I too really knew little of the bible in the Catholic Church, and of course we were told what to believe and what not to. Salvation? We had no clue to what that really was, and probably 99% involved there today still have no real peace or joy they could know if they would believe scripture.

I do not agree with many that don't think most Catholics are not saved, because most love the Lord and they just never learn what security they have in Christ, and just how much God loves them as to keeping them. The day all this finally sunk in to me was the greatest awakening of my spiritual life. What a Savior and loving God that has come to save that which was lost, and we are the recipients of that wonderful provision that paid the price we owed for us.

God bless you grams for your testimony and thanks in Jesus' name.

Then you still don't understand it seems. We weren't calling you a liar. We said what you believed based on ignorance concerning Catholicism was false. Your belief was a lie.

If I say grams believes hell is the place where all non arians go out of ignorance isn't that still a lie?

We were simply trying to correct your misconception based on the lies contrary to Catholic teaching that you were taught.

The thread only went south because agitators simply refuse to let us even clarify misconceptions concerning our Faith without rudely attacking it first.

Go back and reread the thread grams. You will see who started the aggression and hostility in our conversation and who was trying to relay information.

Thanks, grams, for sharing openly your experience. I have heard several people say the exact same things. They grew up with fear until they were introduced to Jesus Christ and given the truth that they are free of all encumbrances that they grew up trying to adhere to and maintain.

Jesus died to give you an abundant and free life! Praise God you have found Him!

Thank you all !

I am so glad our children were listening when some one talked to them !

I never did, I was told not to.

It was such a Beautiful feeling to become saved after so many years of
knowing I was going to hell !

I had never been so scared in my life time like that !

Thank you again for understanding.

If you don't mind I'd like to know the name and location of your former parish and you can remember its pastor as well.

I'll let you guys hug each other and cry tears of joy for being freed from a Church that has no intention of keeping you separated from Christ.

I want the parish and leader who has forever crippled you from God's Truth and His Catholic Church.

I do not know if it is still there ! I know the priest is dead.

The church was Transfiguration It was in Detroit.
And if you read the news you know how bad that is now !

A Christian ma'am should not be dominated by experiences. If you are that weak that you can't see the Truth that Satan seeks to mask with hardship and persecution than go wallow in your tears. The simple fact is that the Catholic Church houses only a perfect doctrine in all things concerning Faith and Morals. Not perfect people, buildings, or even perfect experiences.

Satan will take advantage of that. He will try to place a black hood over that Light.

You praise God for your children's insight and you condemn my Church because it chained you down in childhood and baptized you in the fear of damnation. Let me ask you, what about when you reached an age above childhood? Why did you not take the time and study for yourself and see that our doctrine is nothing about fear and everything about the love of Christ? Why grams? Why did you have to ride the coat tails of your children's research?

Here you go again with your insolence!

grams is not condemning anything. She was sharing her experience which is shared by millions, by the way. I also praise God for her children. Often it is the children who lead parents to Christ by their experiences with Jesus Christ---and often it is in other churches.

People who are caught up in religion don't know enough to search out a matter for themselves because back then, years ago, the Bible was off limits. I can attest to that fact by my experiences with Catholic children in my childhood from the 50's and 60's.

Instead of helping her by hearing her and trying to understand her, you want to heap blame on her. That's like telling a rape victim that she asked for it.

Perhaps it may be bogus to your personal faith, but yours isn't the faith we must live by as Christians. That is why what I say seems so foreign and antagonistic to you.

All you have to do in those threads is to discontinuing the name calling, and I do think you are not entirely to blame.

Honesty? Here Sister Grams has given her testimony, and has ended up being attacked for doing so. If you don't want such witness, get your church to do differently; become Pope and change it, and then you too can wear cute little red papal slippers, white dresses, and funny hats.

LightHammer · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu May 12, 2011 - 00:58:27 »

You guys seriously need to define what the protestant definition is for the word "attack".

If trying to shed the light on the false teachings she was allegedly brainwashed to believe was Catholic doctrine is an "attack" than maybe I'm dealing with Satan in more direct sense than I thought.

Grams has been taught this false idea of Catholicism and all we were trying to do is help her understand that such was not true Catholicism.

Larry I'm a little surprised at you. You and I have disagreed in every encounter but one but we usually are honest with one another. I know you watched that thread. And I know you saw whose posting destroyed the peace. I know you saw it. I may be harsh, stone and I may be short but I know I am honest. I know you saw it Larry because I have been through that thread five times already to make sure I wasn't high off of second hogie smoke cycling through my dorm's hallway.

You may count it as a blessing that grams is not like me(which couldn't be more True) but I know you know who drew first blood with the crudeness in that thread and who has been initiating such the most lately.

Joyfullee · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu May 12, 2011 - 01:05:15 »

That was a beautiful testimony Grams, and I thank you for posting. I'm sure there are many that will be helped through your words.

I have a good friend who grew up in the Catholic church and got saved when he was in his senior year of highschool through classmates who preached the truth of God's Word and he got saved.

He was not saved as a Catholic and he shared with me how he was always trying to be "good," by doing what he was told by the CC, because he was so afraid that he would go to hell. That was what he learned in the CC.

Quote Lighthammer: "If I cared about the opinions of men I may have blinked twice at that petty remark."

You do care, very much. In your words you deny the compassion and love God would have us to walk in towards Grams and others. In your words you prefer the teachings of the men of the CC over God's Word.

I am saddened by your conduct.

Blessings

Let me ask you straight out Brother LightHammer, and I know you're a brother in Christ whether you do or not. Are you saved and assured that Christ will not leave you? If not, grams has learned and you have not; case in point. Maybe you need children to lead you also. She has given her testimony and there is no reason for me to not believe her.

Judging me based off of one comment in a conversation that transcends this thread is not only foolish but judging by your discernment, or rather lack thereof, but very dangerous.

You don't know who I am or what you're talking about so apart from commenting on grams' testimony you really shouldn't address me if that's all you have to say.

Oh yea most definitely I believed I'm saved and I'm hoping Christ will proclaim such on the appointed Day before the Father.

As for Christ never leaving me, I believe it whole heartedly. You guys aren't the only one's with testimonies. However I try not to let my past distort my present.

Like I said Brother Larry, I know that you saw who initially led that thread astray. I know you saw who's posts have been the source of recent animosity. I know you are seeing what I'm seeing.

As far as your present, God looks down on you and sees His Son in you; it gets no better than that. Now what you allow God to do in you has consequence of reward for eternity and that day before our Father has already occurred for us; we are a new creation in Christ. The only judgment you face is as you walk with the Lord now and avail yourself of His benefits for you. We are on the judgment seat now as He walks among the candlesticks, and when we see Him, his reward for us is with Him.

Please let me add this !

I know the Catholic Church has now changed ! My point now is , if you had not lived this you have no idea what I went through .
Theydid not use the bible. In my time there were no bibles ! Even the one the priest had at the alter was not a bible. It was a giant prayer book !

OK ! I went to grade school in the 1940's ! Were you even alive then ?

The only thing the nuns did for us is when we made our first holy communion that we knew how to confess our sins, using the proper words !
What child want to tell his sins ? To another human being.
If confessing your sins was the saving, I sure flunked out ! I was not going to tell a man what I did in secret. What most children do growing up .

And my big point is growing up like this you are always told what to do and what not to do .
You could not go to another church with out persmission even for a Wedding or a Funeral !
How could I learn any thing else if I was told to walk away from some one who was telling me of their doctrin ?
They brought me up into adult hood ! Were my belief stayed !
The church was right, there was no other way !

I bet you did not think I would tell you the church I grew up in ?
I am not ashed, but the church shoule be ! And the R. K. I cant spell his name !
I do know were he is spending his eternity !
Even though he did all that he did , I am sorry that he has to .............

My oldest child receives his first communion on Sunday. He had his first confession in January. Since then he has ASKED me to bring him to confession 4 or 5 times. He loves it, and he loves to live in the light.

Who would not want to confess their sins? People pay thousands of dollars to psychologists to get sins off of their minds. There have been random secular apps that have appeared in the world today where people confess their sins to the world.

Confession, apart from Eucharist, is the greatest sacrament for the human soul and psyche. I absolutely love it, and frankly I don't know how ex-Catholics get by without it.

Hi Grams!

I am sorry you went through all that, and from stories I have heard from others that attended the catholic schools you are spot on!

I'm sure there are some good catholic schools, but they hide well, lol. My neighbor was looking for a Christian school for her young daughter, and said the catholic school were very uppity to her and wouldn't even show her the school. (Bad move on the schools part, these folks are loaded with money). She is taking her daughter to a Christian school and not the catholic school after that experience.

I had a similar situation like you did growing up in a SDA school, not going into it but some very strange things took place that should not have. My SDA relatives get all hostile when I try to talk to them about it, as did some members in the church. Like you, I left the church and found some kind and loving Christians in other churches. I really enjoy the Baptist churches, I don't agree with them 100% but do find them to be loving folks that love Jesus and allow the members to have the freedom to have a loving relationship with Jesus without a bunch of mandated church rules. We confess ONLY to Jesus, I'm with you on that! I never have understood the having to go to some "man" to confess and find it sinful and against what God teaches us ~ He wants us to have a relationship with Him and that is why he made us! Sad the burden it puts on some Christians to have all the man made rules and man made "traditions" since that is NOT from God.

So glad you have found a church that you like and allows you to have a relationship with Jesus, May God bless and keep you sister!

In Gods love,
Wednesday

The Catholic Church is the only place on this planet that uphols God's Word in its entirety. The only place. Let me make sure I over emphasize the only place on the planet. Protestants with their thousands of different "bible-truths" want to paint this picture of Catholicism that separates it from her creator Jesus Christ.

Its not that hard to grasp. Its what has to happen for protestantism to have any validity. The original Christian Church has to be proclaimed apostate in order to make reformation theology look like it is the solution to the problem, even if that problem does not truly exist.

I harbor no ill will torwards grams. She's not that important to think negatively of. I wonder easily take a bullet for as I would anyother. However its not my style or my upbringing to be gentle, I don't mean to be rude nearly as moften as people take it like that. I am just very direct and relentless in the face of what I percieve as dishonesty.

I don't really care about bringing about Catholic converts either. All I care about is bringing Christ to those who don't know Him not explaining who Christ really is to those who are erfectly satisfied with their false ideas of who He is.

I would apologize that I'm not like you all and don't feel comfortable hugging eachother and crying but I like to deal with problems instead of sobbing over them and I always always always look to myself before I try to balme anyone else for my problems.

Let me reiterate how much I really don't care. You can spend your life letting your experiences weigh you down and blaming the world or more specifically my Church for your problems if you want. You can let it bind you in tears and bitterness. You can even use it to justify not knowing what Catholics really believe. However what good does it do you when your problem doesn't go away? Even if you were the victum of rogues within my Church what good does it do for your to wallow in sadness over that? Pick yourself and strive for everything they deprived you of. Don't wallow in pathetic tears over it. If you do they win. Those corrupt men and women in your past win.

I never ever said your tesimony was false. All I ever tried to do was help you see that what you were taught was not what the Catholic Church upholds. You did not want to hear that. Your friend Lively Stone starting throwing stones and you followed behind her because it felt good.

Now you guys want to trun your little crying circle into a mob that makes me seem like the bad guy because I was trying to defend my Faith and promote its ACTUAL teachings.

Sorry if I am not quick to embrace you for such but you are all delusional if you do not see it. Like I said I have been through "The Saints" thread over five times and I never once wronged you. I never once tried to mock your testimony. All I tried to do was show you what Catholics really believe.

Go drown yourself in tears because you equate that to an "attack".

P.S.

Just stay away from me if you're going to cry when I try to correct any misconceptions you have about my Church. You have gathered all these memebers who are doing this whole woe is me routine and all I tried to was help you and give you true information. It kind of makes me upset that I'm getting all this static and I never even mentioned your testimony in any negative light. Just stop addressing me if this is how you and your little tem are going to act.

Grams, does the Pope wear still cute red shoes, something akin to a woman's dress, a stupid looking hat, and walk around with his hands folded in a very pious way as if he is going to suddenly break out in ten hail Mary's? I went through the Latin phase too, and the Fish Fridays; all Catholics ought to learn Latin.

PS; if that floats their boat, what do I care? I see many Protestants doing what I consider off the wall too. Ever heard of the gift of laughter, and other such phenomenal activity such as carrying the Holy Spirit around in a bucket to pour upon people?
