» Brother_Jones - Major Reason For Cross Overs

In response to Major Reason For Cross Overs posted by pink101:

I believe the major reason for cross overs from Protestantism to Catholocism is the idea of being CHURCHED if you know what that means.

That may account for the ones who hit the testimony trail and they spend their evenings repenting of being Protestants. They are mostly the folks who are in my age bracket to yours.

Dumb Protestants just can't get it figured out.

They aren't dumb. That is for sure. Maybe I should have called attention to some very important articles written these past few years about how the best and brightest are going to Eastern Orthodox, Episcopal, and Catholic directions because they want the spirituality they see in those faiths. I think part of it is a generational thing that would be difficult for you to imagine. The other part is just common sense that you may not be in tune with what church leaders, especially the young are thinking and doing. My goodness! In these threads one would would imagine that the Televangelists are the church leaders. And that is pretty dumb, imo.

God is always teaching us about ourselves. We can't just write off a whole group of people just because they worship differently. I think a big reason that conservative Protestant churches are losing some of their flock is precisely because they often do not emphasize the meaningful expressions of worship often found in the High Church setting.

Does that make any sense to a seasoned soldier like you?

i am just an oldtimer for the Lord.
