Hello Minolta, and welcome!
They have songs about ice cream? What's with that?
If you have a fear of insects, was it brought on by an experience with head or body lice when you were a teen?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Are you pulling my leg? I haven't offended anyone here, so I hope you don't think I'm here to be on a joke.

Re: Hello! from Italy

well, here you can read my first question in this forum: http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showt...687#post720687
I hope I can find some answers

Today I was surfing the net and saw your blog, I have read many discussions and found several issues that catched my attention.
In particular, the point about the Earth being flat, as a scientific matter of fact. I have read abbout the experiments, and I must say that some things look more linear now, I see some sense in what you say.
But, probably because English is not my first language, I still have some doubts and I'm wondering if you can help me understand.
How do you match time zones with the idea of a flat Earth? I mean, here now is evening, and there in the US should be morning time, or early afternoon.
If the earth is flat, shouldn't we all have the same time?
Please tell me something more about this, or tell me where to read more, as we don't really have many Baptists here in Italy and I would learn more to decide to move into a more serious Faith, I like the idea of scientific proofing applied to religion.

The sun isn't millions of miles away. It's around 500 miles overhead. Take a light (torch flashlight) and shine it on a table. Notice it doesn't light the entire thing up.

Re: Hello! from Italy

This is an interesting point, I didn't think to this issue like that. It does make sense, and it's one more proof that earth can be flat, instead of round as I was teached when I was a child.

Re: Hello! from Italy

Welcome friend. I know very little about your country, and even less about your language.

But if "E pericoloso sporgersi" would be important, why isn't it mentioned in the Holy Bible?

[Minollo]

Re: Hello! from Italy

Thank you friend. But sorry if I dare to say, the Holy Bible you mention is translated in English for you, and in Italian for me. We all just read translations for every language, so I guess that neither "God bless America" is mentioned there, right? So please you all guys now stop pulling my leg just because I'm a stranger.

Re: Hello! from Italy

Hello to everyone, I am very glad to be here and meet you all.
My name is Mamozio, 27 years old and I'm writing from Napoli - Italy.
I have some doubts and I hope you can help me find some answers when I will be enabled to write in other forums.

My favourite verse is, in italian:

Apocalisse 21:6

E mi disse:
«Ecco, sono compiute!
Io sono l'Alfa e l'Omèga,
il Principio e la Fine.
A colui che ha sete
io darò gratuitamente da bere
alla fonte dell'acqua della vita.»

in english should be:

Revelation 21:6

And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

If you're another papist wop sent over here by your master satan you can just turn right around and head on back where you came from. This is a Christian forum. We speak AMERICAN here, because it's God's favorite language.

I am pretty sure Americans speak english, being american is a group of people and not a language.

With that aside, Welcome to this wonderful forum. Although I have never been to Italy, I have friends who have been there. I hear Rome is a pretty beautiful place.

Re: Hello! from Italy

oh... wow...
I think this is just a bad stereotype and I think and I'm sure that there is no connection between the mafia and Catholicism

Saluto di benvenuto e, mio caro amico

well maybe some would say, that the italian Mafia is strong connected with the Catholics, and yes many of them are acctually very religius.

But no, there is no real connection between those 2 things, even though many of the Mafia lord's are very religius.

God's blessings.

Re: Hello! from Italy

Welcome friend. How many other Baptists in sicily are there? How are you able to praise Jesus without having the swiss guard popping a cap in you? Is it true all all italian grandmothers have mustaches?

Re: Hello! from Italy

Tell me, what would you like to know about me?

This is an excellent opportunity for cultural exchange. Thank you, Mamamia, for offering to be a pseudo-ambassador of sorts.

1. Do you wear those tight jeans and frilly shirts? And do your men hold hands like the a-rabs because I know you have that sand nigra blood in you from the days when the Moors were turning your women inside out and I am curious if you have the same habits as the terrorists.

2. When I was in the U.S Air Force (back when I was Unsaved©) I worked with some Italian forces for NATO (ugh). I was an E-5 and had two Italian E-9s under my command. Are all Italian soldiers incompetent to the point where a U.S. junior NCO is automatically given authority over the highest enlisted rank of the Italian military, or was it just a coincidence that all of the Italians in Afghanistan were incompetent? In Regional Command West the wops over there couldn't even handle VTC. It was just a drag and click windows program and they were always screwing things up. Quite the embarrassment when SECDEF Gates visited us and we couldn't get RC West because your incompetent countrymen pulled a 2 inch thick crypto cable out of the wall.

3. There was also this time when, during an attack drill, two Italian men were caught locked pelvis to buttocks in a bunker. I'm told no one was surprised by this and the two keep going at their abominable thrusting. Is homosexuality really so common in Italy?

Thank you for your time, Mamacito.

As I said, I'm italian, 27 yo, I'm not married yet, but I'm engaged with a wonderful girl who will marry as soon as we can.

Leviticus 18:9
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

A friendly warning: If you are truly serious about turning your life over to Jesus you will want to find yourself a True Christian™ woman with no sororal relation. A cousin is fine, but not a sister.

I like almost all animals but I'm insectophobic.

So what are you going to do when you finally find that perfect woman and she is screaming over a little spider in the bathtub? Are you going to scream with her? Man up.

Again, nice to meet you. I hope you enjoy our Godly forum.

You either thought wrong, or are trying to deliberately deceive us. I went to school with the children of several dons. The dons were some of the biggest contributors to the Church. Both children and parents were Roman Catholic.

Are you trying to tell us that mafia members are Egyptian and moslims?

about the garbage it's hard to explain for me, but we must thank some politicians and some criminals that makes money with the waste crisis that affects my city sometimes.

Aren't you just using other words for Catolick mafia?

Re: Hello! from Italy

Ok now I'm really, REALLY pissed off by your stupid behavior.
Welcoming strangers is stated in the Holy Bible as one of the first duties for us all.
Since when I stepped into your forum, I have been treated like scum, offended, and so on.
You live in a false world built up on your stupid stereotypes and you are the most racist people I ever had the bad luck to read in my life.
I came here thinking to be welcome from some Brothers and Sisters, instead I have been insulted and on and on from all of you, mor0ns.
Learn how to wash your mouth and find your way to stay in the world, before even THINK to be in the position to judge others.
This is the real word of God, and surely it was NOT in English.
Shame on you.

Friend, I think the language barrier has confused you. We have been nothing but kind hosts. It is hardly my place to speak for everyone here, but I for one am hurt that you would say such things about us. Is this really the way you think a guest should behave, Manicotti?

Are all greaseballs as melodramatic as you? How about you calm down. Take a deep breath and put this hissy fit behind you. People might think your queer if you keep whinning like a little sissy.

[Minollo]

Re: Hello! from Italy

You can not expect me calm down if no one shows respect for me here.
So I do not think you deserve my respect.
You are kidding me since I arrived and insulting, you are not serious.
What is the problem? I'm not American? How can you say that the only place in the world that God loves is USA? where in the Holy Bible I can find this clearly written?
All you are good to say and ask to me is, if I am in the mafia and that mafia and Catholicism go together, or if I had problems with some kind of parasite when I was a child, or if I can cook pizza, or last but no least, why "è pericoloso sporgersi" (in english: "it is dangerous to lean out") is not in the Bible. Maybe the answer is, that trains were not in use when Bible was written.
Oh, and my name is not so difficult, I'm sure you're smart enough to learn it, respect it and write it correctly
