Tuesday, April 05, 2005 OM & The Pope.When "The Doulos" was here in Melbourne several years ago, I went to have a first hand look at it. It was O.K. and I guess if you don't mind communal living you could get by. I'm afraid it reminded me of Bible College and I felt that closed in feeling once again and couldn't wait to get off it. I think serveral years of nursing and living in the nurses homes and seven years of being in Bible College (four as a student, one year on campus as a wife - two years off campus) cured me of communal living for life. I go on our church camps and a couple of other camps occasionally, but three nights is the longest that I need to stay,and I find that more than enough. Wilf's nephew was on the 'Doulos' for around 12 months and just loved it. Also a young man who was once in our church, then was an addict, and now is going great, has just come off the ship. He loved the experience. A great learning time.The Pope. I was asked at Church on Sunday if I thought he had gone to Heaven. My answer - "He will sure know all about it now" I'm just thankful that God is the judge and not me. I know several RC's as do we all, and I understand their grief etc, but the whole thing leaves me cold. The people seem to worship and adore him - two activities that should be reserved for the Lord only - but they are blinded. By the way - for someone who is deemed so 'holy' - does he still go to purgatory? Do the followers still have to pray for him and pay for his way out of it? Some clergy (and their wives) think they that ARE celebrities, and even get treated like that. Here in our church we (Wilf and myself) are certainly not celebrities, part of the furniture is more like it! Worn out old furniture at that! Does anyone know if Charles and Camilla's wedding is to be televised? I would like to watch it. They should have married 30 years ago! # posted by shellymac @ 8:07 pm 0 comments
