  A kind response to Jim Penton & Ros of Channel C

  by Amazing in

  the following are transports of postings on http://www.channelc.org/ made by jim penton and ros regarding myself and james caputo respectively.

  the reason that i did not post directly on channel c is that ros and many of her board participants do not like to see anything that resembles catholic discussion, even if the responses are done respectfully and in a spirit of clarifying a false claim or misunderstanding.

  i too do not like "catholic" discussions on channel c, and have not posted there for 9 months until i recently posted an announcement about tom cabeen's interviews on ewtn and with randy watters.

  bin:

  I suggested that the Administrator delete a post that contained information contained in a private email. I do not question that Ms. CCAdmin has the right to run her forum however she chooses. I stated that I did not agree with the posting of a private email on a public board. That the email has been posted and that it was a private communication has not been contested by CCAdmin. That is my entire point.

  ps: In the interest of peace, I have edited my original post to remove the language you seem to find so contentious. In the interest of justice, I still cry "foul" on the use of private communication on a public board.

  What are some posts that Ros deleted from Channel C?
  What were they about?

  Bin:

  You would have to ask Ros what they were about, as they are no longer accessible. However, as she is the Administrator of that board, it is her responsibility and privilege to do what she wants. And as Besty points out, JWD is not the "headmaster's office" for message board etiquette.

  If I was in correspondence by private email with someone, and ten years later that person chose to cut and paste from my private email on a public board without my permission or without allowing me to answer on the same board, I would cry foul. James Caputo is being more charitable than I would be.

  Pax,

  Jim:

  Thank you for posting this.

  I have been following the conversations on Channel C and have been very puzzled by the uproar over the "Catholic" discussion when the people complaining were the very same as the people who were discussing.

  The fact that Ros chose to post contents of a private email from James Caputo to a board from which she is denying him participation is inexcusable.

  I suggest the Ros should either delete the post which includes the "quotes" from James Caputo or she should post the reply you have given here on the Channel C board in its entirety.

  But then, I am not a member of her board, so I doubt she will listen to me.

  In Christ,

  Ruth

  Min: I have not been miserable at all since I left the Witnesses. I would not trade my life now for my life as a Witness even if the trade was accompanied by large amounts of cash LOL. Life without JWs -- PRICELESS!! Since I work in the public eye, the JWs of my town know that I am a happy, active person who is involved in many civic and charitable activities. I am frequently "out there" in their faces so to speak. JWs who have known me since birth avert their eyes when I walk past them in WalMart. I feel sorry for them. Pax, Ruth

  Finding Faith

  how many of you ex-jw kids were able to believe in mainstream christianity after leaving the borg?

  within the last year, i have opened up to getting to know god again.

  what's funny is that when i prayed for truth and to know god, i knew and had a real feeling in my heart that i was getting closer to something real, but there was still a voice going, "hey, it's me jehovah, and you have rejected me!".

  You will never see the contradictions in your faith because you are a new breed of Christian that has adapted to survive in a modern world. This has more to do with evolution and survival than Christianity. Your faith will always make sense to you but it is a long way from Christianity and God as described in the Bible.

  Trevor:

  Perhaps you are misunderstanding BurnTheShips because you do not understand the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox perspective. Catholicism and her Eastern Orthodox counterpoint are the MOST ANCIENT Christian religions.

  Catholic belief stands on three things equally: Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the Teaching Authority of the Church.

  Jesus did not write a book, he established a Church. He did not send forth the Apostles to write, he sent them forth to preach. The writing was done, of course, and then it was assembled and verified and preserved BY THE CHURCH.

  Sola Scriptura is the new idea -- it is only about 500 years old. Sola Scriptura has resulted in the fracturing of the Christian congregation into thousands of sects, each claiming to have the correct interpretation of the Bible.

  The Bible is inerrant and is meant to be interpreted by the Church that Jesus Christ established.

  Not a new idea, rather a very old idea.

  Ima:

  I so relate to what you are saying. Congratulations for finding a real relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ!!

  I was baptized, confirmed, and received Holy Communion this past March. It truly was, as you say, heaven!! Indeed, as a Roman Catholic, I believe that Heaven and Earth meet at each and every Mass ;-)

  Thank you for your upbuilding testimony. It is my prayer that more of our brothers and sisters who have escaped the Watchtower will be able, by the Grace of God, to come into full communion with other Christians.

  Feel free to IM me if you would like to talk off-board about any of these things.

  Your sister in Christ,

  Ruth
