Guest AloysiusGhost Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) giving dUST c a r p? he's a good guy, he simply realizes that people who argue with current Catholic teaching (when they should really take a page out of St Ignatius Loyola's book and be disposed to believe that which they think is black is really white since the Hierarchy has so decided) are generally so obstinate and have such a refusal to accept logic that such discussions drive ppl with any sense of logic insane and easily confuse those who are new to the faith. Therefore, he's adopted a policy of CONTAINMENT. PhatMass is not a place to spread error, therefore he is containing that error. everyone kiss dUST on the feet and thank him for the wonderful job he does. then realize he's made a wise and prudent decision as opposed to the decision you want him to make which would be emotional and imprudent, and would provide a channel by which those who wish to tear down Papal Authority can spread their errors. dUST is a good guy. stop giving him c a r p.

Ellenita Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 There are those of us who have nothing but respect and awe for dUSt and the job he does here.... .......and even more for Mrs dUSt who doesn't demand that he quit right now and give all that spare Phatmass time to household chores!

Lil Red Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 the thing is, this is dUSt's website. as it has been stated before, some people don't even stop to wipe the mud from their feet before they walk in the door. if you don't like one of his rules, leave. you have that choice. you have that freedom. i know that i have left for awhile when my temper gets heated and come back when it's cooler. maybe some people should look at their motives for being here. show some love to dUSt, for goodness sake!

littleflower+JMJ Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 we all need to respect dUSt, if we have problems or buffs against the Church (or whatever it may be) know that you can't bring them here cuz thats not what Phatmass is for. being stubborn, pushing buttons and complaining is NOT gonna help anyone. dUST has to put up with ALOT On this website, theres so much that goes on in running a place like this. what dUSt says goes. [b]period.[/b] and whatever it is we are obligated as posters to repect and obey if we are going to be posting here. its a matter of being considerate and remembering that his in charge. i dont think its very nice to be planting discord, like some peeps here are doing. its too easy to forget who's house your in. and how easy we tend to forget.

littleflower+JMJ Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 oh and i am also sure am disappointed in some peeps around here, expected better. quite sad too. some peeps really need to question their motives and true intentions of being here at phatmass. +JMJ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Friday Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 [quote name='AloysiusGhost']everyone kiss dUST on the feet and thank him for the wonderful job he does.[/quote] Good God, and y'all wonder why the Protestants think we're idol worshippers. Kneel before Mary, kiss the pope's ring, call the bishop Your Excellency, and now let's all kiss dUSt on the feet. Some of us are mad at dUSt because we can only post what he wants us to post, which is fascism. Some of us are mad at dUSt because of silly, judgemental, and partisan statements made on the home page about politicians that he doesn't know and has no right to judge (frankly, folks, he's not the bishop of the diocese of Phatmass). And some of us are just mad at Catholics in general because some of us feel that we were [i]overwhelmingly[/i] lied to before converting, and we feel that we've wasted a year of our life on a church that has been an absolute lie and that the Protestants were largely right about. All I can say is that y'all are [i]wonderful[/i] to people when you're trying to get them to convert, but once you've got them here, you treat them like dirt if they differ even slightly from you. I'd love for someone to explain to me how that differs from the various mind-controlling cults throughout the world, but I doubt this post will stay here long enough for anyone to actually answer that.

Crusader_4 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I dont mean to be mean or anything at the end of the day its not my site...or anyone elses' but Dusts. We do not walk into your home and say open your window or shut the door or tell your friend how to punish their children or anything of the matter if you have a probelm with the way dust manages his house find a different one to go to..simple as that. Good Friday i am sorry to hear you have bad feelings really am but at the end of the day this is a dicatorship its not a democracy and thank goodness we have a benvolent and great one. I have no problem with the way Dust is doing this and he deserves all of the respect we can give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who don't agree with the church -- which, let's face it, that's just me now, the rest have all been chased away -- aren't treated fairly and we do have a problem with it.

PedroX Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 We are all guests in the House of Dust. There are a million other forums for you to post on or argue on. I for one am glad that there are no Catholic vs. Catholic debates. Arguing against my brothers leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and makes charity hard to practice. Aloysius and Flowery, thanks for reminding us all of some of the basic things here in the phamily. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.[/b][/quote] PRAY Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamalove Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Keep up the good work dUSt! Good Friday, spend some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament and you will find the peace you are yearning for. My prayers are with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've camped out in front of the tabernacle before, didn't do much for me. I guess it's silly to pray to bread and expect to receive a response, though, so it was my own fault.
