Wow, that's for sure, Rooster!

FHII was a nightmare poster and he had no respect for Catholic doctrines that he disagrees with. It's one thing to disagree, but it's another to bash the Church because YOU think you know more and better. I won't go into all of the problems we experienced as a result of his coming to our board, but will just say, sorry, Michael, but I disagree with you completely. He lost whatever restraint he had on TCF.

Well, that's about 99.44% true! I was a nightmare poster on many boards and you are correct in that I have no respect for the Catholic Doctrines I disagree with. I also agree tht I lost whatever restraint I had on TCF, and acknowledge I probably deserved it.

Do I take it back? No... I don't believing in doing such. Do I regret it? Let me just say that if I could've done it over, I'd probably just leave you alone and would've never posted on many boards, including TCF. I may have posted, but not all the things I've said. I'm not denying I said them, not retracting them, nor am I going to ask for forgiveness from you. But I will acknowledge I said things that ought not to be said, and have been a hypocrite in that I believe in forgiveness and understanding, and probably didn't practice that.

However, your .66% is that you believe I bash the Church and think I know better. Hey, I don't bash the Church. I bash the doctrine. I don't attack Catholics, I attack the doctrine. I don't think I know better, I go by the rule book which is the Bible. And I am debating more hardliner Protestants based on what the Bible says than I am Catholics these days. And you can't say I didn't have a Bible verse to back me up on ANY point I made.... Heck, I'd like to be wrong on most of the points I made, but I go with what the Bible says.... To the best of my ability and if you can prove me wrong, then let me know and we can both praise God over the revealing of truth. Hey, if you teach me a truth and it is truth, I'll even share a cigar with you (actually, I'll give you one to smoke on your own so you don't get my cooties) and it won't be a cheap one!

As for you Portia.... I hold no grudges. I don't even mind if you hold a grudge against me! I understand if you do... But please, don't mind me... I'm not here to start trouble. All posts here about me have been started because I simply was checking out what was on this board.

Always thought of you in the kindest thoughts on a personal level, Portia....
