I mean, it was a different form of communication,
but if it hadn’t been..

Too funny.
Good show lads.
Some seek to protect you from a fate worse than life.
“Some people tell me that life will pass you by, and I say to them ‘thank God, I nearly got mixed up in the beastly thing!'”–Quentin Crisp. Well, it’s inescapable, isn’t it? Read Henry James’ “Beast in the the Jungle,” and it will be startling to realize that the enlightenment within our reach is, finally, elusive, save in our death. So live on and embrace your inevitable mistakes!
As far as I know, the only protection against things worse than live is Jesus Christ. That´s why the Logos came into the exile of this world and took flesh. Pray, repent, forgive and hope for Grace.
But surely Thomas Fink, the question to ask before donning a condom is: Why?
“May everything happen according to your will and not mine.” A good prayer, if you don´t want to get into situations where you have to think about donning a condom.
Evidently, prayer leads to such situations, sans condom.
So. What.
“His sight does not deter us, his sight discourages us, he is despised and the last of all men, the man of sorrows, well experienced in suffering.” (Is 53, 2). Passion Sunday.
I hope you have noticed that we are talking at cross purposes. No pun intended. I don’t know if that is relevant to you. Statistically, Is 53, 2 is not an accurate match for Passion Sunday. I also don’t know if there is relevant for you.
Ok. let´s talk. What is it that you try to tell me? What kind of statistics you use? Is 53, 2-7 is from the Officium Divinum Parvum for Passion Time.
this one got moderated because you used a new email
The Romans did not write the Book of Isaiah.
Thomas, I suppose that would stop the need to think altogether.
It never stops. But the bullshit detector operates on a different plane.
Now I am under moderation. Which means for me that I stop here. Thank you.
Surely, not here. For The Host he has not yet risen, since He lives eternally in Hope.
“If the Host is just a symbol, to hell with it.” Flannery O´Connor. BTW this sentence marks the seperation line between old school Catholics and Modernists.
Sure, but without the Romans we would not have the Passiontide as we have it. What means “statistically” then? What would be “statistically” adequate for Passion Sunday? What means Passiontide for you? Was Oshana your name of birth? I am a gentile. And you?
Thomas. This thread, which never was on-topic, has become an increasingly dissociative form of spray-and-pray drive-by evangelism. The Book of Isaiah has nothing to do with Roman festivities, such as, Passion Sunday. “Coerced” is not the same as “cooperating”.
It’s true it was never on-topic & it doesn’t seem to be leading to any sort of actual dialogue just banter & epistemological nit-picking. I doubt if anyone really cares. Ironically the motivation of both parties seems to be the same: the saving of a lost soul. Thomas what is it you want? If it is to evangelize I don’t think you are going to have much joy here. Even Jehovah’s witnesses have the courtesy to knock before entering.
Saving a lost soul? Isn´t that what the Jehovas wittnesses and evangelization is all about. And they fail. I do not try to evangelize. I am a simple Catholic who despises the Pope and most of the Bishops. I cannot even receive the Host in a physical way, because I am not in state of Grace. I was for over three decades in several cultish enviroments (mostly Tibetan- and Zen Buddhism and my sister was with John and Osho) and nowadays I do not put much trust in living human beings right away. I am glad that there is a place for sinners like me, which is the Church, the bride of the Lord.
Which John was your sister with? Of God or der Rooter?
de Ruiter. They even lived in Canada for some years to be near him. They even got him to Hamburg/Germany for an event. Which is our birthplace. My mother and my brother were not so impressed by his gaze. She told me how she was once driving him and how awfull the stunk of his unwashed genitals was.
BTW I sent her some of my exchange with Dave. Her answer: “If he really knew something he would be still and JUST BE IT. Ask yourself the question WHO get’s enlightened ?
In the silence, the void, whatever you want to call it, there is NO ONE who get’s enlightened.
We just all have to shut up and be THAT what we already are, but always avoid because we are hypnotized by the blabbering of our minds.”
Haha! Your Mutter sounds delightfully frank but repetitive. From whom did she hear such nonsense?
Wait: JdR has smelly genitals? 😮
I think we officially crossed the TMI barrier.
No, sorry. Misunderstanding. My sister was driving and writing. My mother was just at the event. And from where my sister got it. Who knows? Is it really nonsense?
Yes, it’s nonsense.
I told you: enlightened beings must act exactly like everyone else to prove they are enlightened (and no one must know it).
