| Re: My experience at an non denominational men's group If you're equipped for the criticism, go ahead, but beware the temptation to "get even" using the same sorts of uncharitable tactics fundamentalists have abused catholics with for years. Don't go in preaching and telling them they're wrong. Wait for them to challenge you. Then you can respond without being guilty of rabble rousing. And who knows, maybe they'll surprise you with a maturity beyond the anti-Catholic nonsense of the past. Give 'em the chance anyways! |

this more than one once. Even told the group I was in once, listen I don't want to go down this road because it will produce a bad feeling among you when I tell you. They insisted, I dropped the gauntlet with each question and there was just stunned silence from everyone until someone started talking about sports about 10 minutes later... needless to say I wasn't invited back |

the Catholic Church says? You think you need a priest to forgive you? All those guys in those Churches (Catholic/Orthodox) just get drunk they don't really have a personal relationship with Jesus (referring to the persons father), I should know I used to go be Orthodox - you think that's ok? Don't you think you need to read the Bible for yourself? Those Churches are all about rules, don't you think you need a personal relationship with Jesus? You think worshipping Mary is good? Why would you pray for a dead person, whats the point? Last edited by SyroMalankara; Jun 18, '14 at 7:04 pm. |

| Re: My experience at an non denominational men's group I have gone to many non catholic denominational bible studies-- as well as catholic bible studies-- and each group has a emphasis based on the scripture knowledge of there leadership- even when I respond here -- I ask the Holy Spirit is there any thing -- that you want me to say ?? this is the example of a "personal relationship" with Jesus the H.S.-- when I go to prayer groups-- each -- assembly has an ability to perceive-- based on their spiritual gifting, bible commentary -- is more than memorizing-- some body's elses "commentary" but I do like going to bible study groups-- where people -- will say Well the Lord showed me this or the Lord taught me that-- having a personal relationship-- spiritual with answered prayer -- is more interesting- then listening to some body-- rambling on-- and trying to do a 3 point sermon -- or trying to make a meaningful homlily and once I thought that the scripture verse that "when 2 or more are gathered in my name - I am in the mist" was always true-- but I learned that -- it's kinda like-- being on the same bandwidth- or having 2 or3 bars on your antenna-- finding a religious group -- is more than -- people all repeating the "our father " in unision |
