CatherineM Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I get bounced around when I talk about liking modern music, and not liking the Latin mass. I have may say, and ignore the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eustace scrubb Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I just returned here after about a year's absence. The reason I left had nothing to do with the subject that this thread is about, but there is a lot of truth to the claim that there has been some intense anti-Charismaticism on this board. I ran into it when I first started posting, despite being someone who was looking into converting (and had to do so in secret). Thankfully, people spoke up in my defense. They were not out of agreement, but because I received some rather rude responses to expressing it at a sensitive time in my life. After that, I never really had a problem here when discussing it. While I have no idea if this is still something going on (I just came back today), I understand being sensitive to it. When you've (I'm speaking in general here with the word "you") experienced something hurtful several times, the next time you experience something hurtful in that area, you react to that situation with the pain of the previous ones. For instance, I was threatened with being disowned by my family when I told them that I was converting. You can probably imagine how I react everytime I have a conflict with them about my faith now. Anyhow, while what you went through on here was different from being threatened by your family with being disowned, I understand somewhat how you feel. Btw I'd like to find a board for members of the Charismatic Renewal, myself. Unfortunately, most people involved with it are old and don't use computers... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaD2006 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 [quote name='scardella' timestamp='1313520458' post='2289261'] Hi all, It's been a number of years since I've been on here, and I thought I might revisit it just to see what was up. Unfortunately, I see that what drove me off of here is still alive and well. The persistent anti-charismatic attitude is still present. I don't wish to debate it; I just wanted to let y'all know that it is off-putting and frankly offensive. It's a shame, really, because it sours for me what is otherwise a vibrant and compelling forum. Ciao, Scardella PS. If anyone has any suggestions for a similar but not anti-Charismatic forum, I may monitor this thread for a few days. [/quote] I hear ya ... I sometimes post once and leave a thread, especially when it has to do with praise and worship or the use of instruments (i.e. a guitar) in Mass. I tend to ignore most of it because if I don't I can get really angry and then I can get quite uncharitable. People are people, and some are quite opinionated. There have been some cases where differences of opinion aren't respected. I've realized that just saying my peace and leaving the thread is enough because at least I've given some food for though. Hope you stick around Blessings [quote name='eustace scrubb' timestamp='1313615360' post='2290069'] I just returned here after about a year's absence.

cmaD2006 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 scardella ... I also just saw the debate table posts. Avoid debate table. I do that almost 90% of the time ... because I know I'm in for a lashing/blood pressure rising/heart attack producing debate when I enter within.

Other than trying to at least present a balanced view of Charismatics, the only other time I've gone in lately was to denounce Sedecavantism.
