Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

It would have cost them a small fortune to build some of those huge buildings.

I disagree. It would have cost a LARGE fortune. Sometimes people say, "Oh resources were cheaper then." I smile, a little sadly, and think, resources were still resources then. Whatever's spent on building elaborate monstrosities remains unavailable for other things, such as inventing electricity. Rome's idols don't simply flourish amidst poverty, the creed itself requires poverty to become established.

Barcelona is a good example. Having brought down the dark ages on everyone who'd listen—and murdering those who wouldn't—it was monstrosity time. "Bleed the wretches dry, we'll have our cathedral," seems to have been the policy and after a century or two the building was completed. Sort of. Always room for more gargoyles of course, even centuries later; after about half a millennium of this, (individuals come and go obviously but what's a lifetime to monsters of that ilk?) another cathedral was called for. Once catholicism was weakened, electricity could be invented, a radio could be designed (but Marconi had to get out of Italy to do so) and prosperity could resume. Nations where Romism was overturned could invent things, the rest could buy them and experience internal efficiencies—compare even 18th century steam power¹ to peasants with scythes—resulting in a surplus for inventing² new machines or building³ new monstrosities, the latter still requiring centuries. "Barcelona Cathedral" and "Gaudi Barcelona Cathedral" are easy enough to look up but the real topic here is IDOLS.

The above⁴ is from just a single chapel. I've included two thumbnails linking to two larger versions.
• the small thumbnail is 1478x2048 72px” JPEG (1.2MB)
• the large thumbnail is 2048x2837 72px”JPEG (2.1MB)
so you can count the idols for yourself, if so inclined. I've done that for you as follows:

TOP
6 [LEFT PANEL]
14 [MID PANEL]
5 [RIGHT PANEL]

SHELF
5 heads [3 above, 2 below]

MIDDLE
2 complete idols + 3 heads; 1 snake [LEFT PANEL]
2 [MID PANEL]
10 + 1 sheep [RIGHT PANEL]

SHELF
20 heads [UPPER SHELF]
2 heads, 2 severed hands, 2 bunches grapes [LOWER SHELF]

PILLARS
2 heads
1 child with looted jewels & cornucopia
1 extra head [LEFT PAIR]
2nd child with looted jewels & cornucopia
2 heads + 3rd head
possible serpent in panel above [RIGHT PAIR]

There are assorted vague shapes that could be angels or cherubs or extra heads and/or other body parts (such as top right of upper mid. panel) but could also be the eyes imagining things – which is the whole point of idolatry. We see how Rome insinuates itself into the legislative process wherever possible and the dogma has never changed. Or if it did temporarily, can always be changed back. What's to say if Romists are invited along (feigning interest) after a century or so (or a single generation) they'll not suggest aids to contemplation such as rosaries or statues and the next thing you'd know—well, we wouldn't know: we'd be dead—is the abomination set up once more just as they'd planned all along. Popes may come and go but the tide they direct continues on, as is readily seen today.

I remain cautious and have not invited my papist along yet.




1. My friends do not drive so I'm roped in to visit steam fairs. As it happens they usually have very good cakes and the machines of course are unmistakeable so I've seen quite a few by now.
2. Some people invent things. Those who don't complain they're at a disadvantage (the scythes again) or can't buy new inventions due to discrimination. Rome is the grandfather of discrimination. Is this appropriate for Landover? For America? Or even for the whole world.
3. Barcelona got this monstrosity next, still a work in progress.
Check again next century.
Same resources req'd as for the last one.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

There is a case to be made for inviting Catholics to Landover Baptist. As anyone can read here, many of our True Christian™ member are opposed to it. I respect their views as well along with others.

But your statement, "..but listen to Catholics" is flat out dangerous. No, listening to Catholics puts us IN hell.

Well, I do not think that it would be such a bad idea to invite those Cathyolicks to . That does not mean that we have to put up with their apostasy and Mary-worship nonsense; but, getting them here might be beneficial to our dear and his mission.

If you will kindly take a peek at the following photos, you will see that their churches are often very elaborate. And, as we all know, fancy things cost a pretty penny. It would have cost them a small fortune to build some of those huge buildings. In other words, why not have them come here, and then get them tithing — generously — to ?

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

My biggest problem with Catholics is that they are always drunk. They are drunk so often they require a "nip" during their own church services just to keep from getting seizures. They are inebriated so often they simply don't care what sex their bed-partner is (or indeed if it is even in a bed, in the kitchen, in the rectory, or over a truck-stop sink). One side effect of such aggressive drunkenness is the constant invitation of demons, both the homer and normal kind. The last thing we'd want hovering over Freehold is some migrating infestation of wino-demons following the wino-Catholics.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

Perhaps I was hasty in deciding not to invite my papist, who frequently refers to "saints" (as though Christians were not sanctified already)

II Esdras 2:18 For thy help will I send my servants Esau and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits

but they seem to require contacting by séance or Romish equivalent so I have a question before I rush off with my invitation. What constitutes idolatrous insignia and a visitor being free of idolatrous insignia? Does it have to be an actual object, such as a crucifix, or could it be something like a branding iron's imprint on the mind, soul or heart?

You should not only invite, but listen to Catholics!If you listen well enough, you might remain this side of hells gates😉

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

Listen, there is really only one reason at all for True Christians(tm) such as ourselves to be yoked with Catholics.

That is to outlaw abortion. Happily, we have that issue nearly sewn up. Once that matter is settled for good (and for God), we need to do some very careful maneuvering. Gaining the upper hand for Truth and putting the power back into Jesus' hands, (NOT the Pope's) means that we have to ease out of our alliance with Catholics.


It may have served us well enough at the time, but we CANNOT allow them equal rights or countless fools will be led straight to Hell through their false doctrine. It's very similar to the way we talk the talk about "Judeo-Christian" values and favor government support for Israel.


It's all about putting the real message of the Bible into action in this world. Catholics pervert the Bible; Jews ignore the most important parts. We know perfectly well that we will not be hobnobbing in Heaven with these non-saved people. Therefore, while we can use these groups to gain power, we certainly will not share it once we've completely secured America for Jesus.


So, the short answer to the question is No, we should not invite Catholics to Landover Baptist. We should meet on neutral ground, ask for whatever phone numbers and donor lists that they can share and ferret out any information that we can use to thoroughly discredit them when the time comes.


An even shorter answer to this question can be found by asking, have you ever seen Highlander? In the end, there can only be one.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

Brother Hold, in light of the continuing abuse on the young altar boys, would it be shameful of me if I were to go pick some up and foster them at my home? I think I could really get deep inside them and make them obedient Baptist ™️ Boys. They are probably easier to get inside than the unfortunate lost nigra children that roam the heathenistic cities of New York and (ugh….) Chicago.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

Their leaders are Satan!

I wonder if a pope could ever actually become a Christian? By that I mean someone who follows the teachings of Christ. Vatican dogma ladles on so much extra stuff but even "tradition" could be OK if it didn't contradict The Gospel. The problem is that it does. I don't know if the levels of hubris required for elevation to pope status constitute capital blasphemy or not, others though have been Saved from pretty awful circumstances brought on by false beliefs. Whether a pope or a cardinal or one of the other ranks they've invented is eligible for Salvation or not—depending on the nature of blasphemies they've committed—nobody can accept Christ until they've heard about Him.

Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

@Various

Pope Frank's a Jesuit (I looked that up) but on the other hand any idea of dropping dead in the "near-future" seems strangely unappealing. To me, that is. I don't know about Frank.

The beach is also unappealing and not somewhere I'd go but mormons and 7th-day-adventists and theosophists would benefit from a knowledge of Christ – who knows? one day there may even be a Canadian Orthodox denomination! From my experience of that place, such an invention would be fine display – but nothing to do with Jesus. The Truth does not admit of denominations, after all If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Mark 3:25

Were you thinking of coming along? It would be better if you were not on LSD.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

There usually are. That's how one becomes a Jesuit.
It's not as if you qualify by merely sending lipstick kissed cheques to grifters like "Pastor Al" or "Pastor Zeke" alongside some revealing beach photos.
A stunning revelation for sure.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

I would definitely gladly come to Freehold, so we could have a discussion on which version of Jesus is better, as long you also invite the Orthodox worshippers of the flat one, the door-knockers with the He-Man one and the LSD cult who believes in the laughing one.

Interesting word you use there, "discussion." There is no discussion at Landover Baptist. There is preachin' and lots of it.

Re: Should We Invite Catholics to Landover Baptist

Thank you for your reply. I'm not interested in "politics" (often a misrepresentation of "party politics") but see from your location that Macron has done well? admittedly against an opposition generally on the nose but clawing itself up the greasy pole to an unprecedented extent so a chipmunk would have done as well, if not better. That's not what you asked me though. Quickly looking at ties it transpired that a tie hanging on a rack is one price. In a plastic box, more or less add a 0 onto the price. Draped over antlers = an 8 in front (or both) i.e. start blanching and hand over the plastic.

Italian Orthodox as a denomination reckons itself "catholic" despite its oligarch being one among many oligarchs and declaring itself supreme, and reckons its capo to be a pontiff where there used to be many pontiffs, so whether or not to invite any of them amounts to the same thing: a personal assessment. I hope you didn't think I was offering antlers as an inducement?

Whether crafted from gold wire or done in muted shades of black, many of these poor deluded worms dress as instructed and would look so out of place in any Christian assembly. Wool as a fabric I like and the tie is a Scottish suggestion, hopefully less poisonous than whatever John Knox cooked up. Which turned into a quasiestablishmentarian charade, so sad.

So sad.
