Hey!

Re: Hey!

While he is one of the Hollywood 8 Communists, I simply enjoyed the book. And most of its message. Have you read it?

As a matter of fact, I have. I wonder what the author had in mind when he decided Bonham had been so offensive to Jesus that he would saddle him with all of those injuries. I suppose it was his (Bonham's) anti-patriotic streak.

Yours in Christ,

Re: Hey!

Hi Marissa. To answer your questions, no I am not married. I am 17. Bonham is named off a character from my favorite book, "Johny Got His Gun". I choose to avoid posting my name as my family can find this via google searching my name.

OK. Cool. I only meant your 1st name though. My name's really María Isabel but Marisa's the nickname for that. The L is the initial of my first surname (I'm from Spain-so we have 2, 1 from Dad 1 from Mom) and Sánchez is my 2nd.

I didn't think of invent a name. I think I might have choose 'Leia' or 'Padmé' because they're caracters I love from movies, when I was young. Nice lead ladies, you know.

But anyway, I just thought 'Marisa L Sánchez and ¡Hala! that was it.

But don't worry, I will just call you Bonham.

Re: Hey!

Hi there. Thanks for your welcoming words. As a person, I love god (shown in my personal efforts to attend church). My questions are, though, is enjoying the sound and not the lyrics of Black Sabbath and Slayer a sin? Is enjoying Role Playing Games with magical themes a sin? I am a confused boy in a common community of headbangers and gamers.

Did you know the author of that book was a communist? I'm not saying you are one, but they can be insidious in trying to get their dogma to the masses.

Re: Hey!

Well this community church, has recently "celebrated" their renovations which included removing confession booths (the facility used to be a catholic church decades ago). So no, no talking to people in white suits is needed.



That seems, in a nutshell, to be it. I am assuming that is bad.

'Bad' is not 'impossible' son. So lift your chin up. Don't get down. It's not your fault you've been in the wrong congregation - I've been there and was in a far worse one, believe me, the 'Single Malt-Buckfast-and-daily-Snakebite' one. And believe me, you are in an enviable position. You already want God to enter you whereas I spent more than half my life denying Him. So come on in, kick off your shoes, have a scone and tell us more about you and let the Pastors take care of saving your soul. They're the experts. The rest of us? We're just here to help you feel the Love of Christ's Mercy.

Your pal in Christ,

or are they one of those self-esteem boosting easy-believism type churches?

Re: Hey!

Hey, Welcome.

I'm glad you are not a catholic, that way you won't get all the obvious of people feeling sorry for you for the child abuse etc.

Nice to see you here. Why'd you choose that 'false name'? And what's your real name?
Are you married?
Tell us more about yourself.

Hope you're having a nice day btw.

Re: Hey!

Welcome our forum, Bonham. If you want to ask questions of real Christians, you have come to the right place. What can we help you with?

Can you tell us more about this "community church" of yours? Do they preach repentance, or are they one of those self-esteem boosting easy-believism type churches?

Hi guys. My false name is Bonham. I see myself as a good christian teenager compared to others. I am not a baptist. I go to a community church with no real "defined" religion. While it is probably not what some people here like, I am not a catholic. I was baptised when I had no choice as an infant. I decided to not be one when I realized that they are hypocrites with useless symbolism. I have a lot of questions to ask, from real christians (my family is all catholics) and so being able to post in other forums would be greatly apreciated.
