OK, we'll all leave you alone now, if not follow your model. You've won us over.

Is this tantrum over the All Saints thread? Johann, dear, we're just having a laugh. You don't seriously think that Julia Roberts is meant to accurately portray the Archbishop? Or that the Archbishop having twins to a ballroom dancing Mad Max Clone is having a go at the doicese? It's an arthouse film script for goodness sake.
Read back over the last three pages of the thread. You should get the drift.

I am only a recent immigrant to Oz, but it seems that I have made the wrong choice of Diocese - may God forgive me!
Johann,I saw, over on the Australian thread in All Saints your interesting comment:
quote: pick on the anglican diocese of Sydney all you want, we know WE are right!
As I said, I am new to Australia and know very little; are you saying that all of US are wrong?

If Our Lord has indeed returned, in Sydney, than that really buggers up my plans for the weekend, with the possibility of the end of the world etc.
There again, I suppose that it will make our Diocesan Synod tomorrow a bit pointless, as well as all those Sunday services (or don't we now call them 'meetings'?) So, a bit of a lie in.
It's all swings and roundabouts.

Johann. God Bless you. You mean well. And you probably couldn't fit more than a sheet of paper between me and you theologically. But the way to get people to lay off the Diocese of Sydney is not to post a patronising, and somewhat inaccurate one sentence rant in Hell. This will have, in fact, quite the opposite effect.

Listen here, Johann, you are an ignorant, arrogant fuck-monkey and you and all your kind should be cast into the outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. When you get there, your and your arse-clown buddies can all sit around smugly quoting scripture and patting one another on the back in admiration at one another's oh so fucking holy ways.
This fuck-knuckle is probably a troll or a sock-puppet. But it was nice to get it out of my system.

Don't you get it?
You are being attacked because you follow sound biblical doctrine and not the world! It's persecution. Those who refuse to follow the world will be persecuted. It's in the Bible!
If people were backing off, it would show you weren't really following Jesus. You should be grateful for any attacks.
You should thank anyone who criticises Sydney, because their posts show that you are uncompromising True Christians™
Why not start a thread in All Saints thanking those that attack you? You'll be heaping burning coals on their head or something.
And every time you see a post criticising the Diocese of Sydney, you should REJOICE! [ 03. June 2004, 09:35: Message edited by: Lurker McLurker ]

You stupid prick, Johann. If you want people to lay off Sydney Anglicans, then take your flaming arrogance and shove it where the sun don't shine!
I'm all for 'live and let live' as a general principle but it is the kind of "we're right and all the world is wrong" that you evince in your post that gives my beloved faith a bad name.
So just crawl back into your hole in the ground and suck your thumb for a bit mate, 'cause its the adults playing around here and you're not wanted.

Stand up, stand up for Jensen ye soldiers of the south; an instrument of torture - I wish he'd shut his mouth. He speaks of male headship and isn't keen on queers; he doesn't like the Carthlicks, and won't respect his peers.
Stand up, stand up for Jensen, he's really, really great, so long as you hate Evensong, so long as you love hate. His brother runs St Andrews, his nephew runs the schools, his wife's in charge of women. He must think we're all fools.
Stand up, stand up for Jensen, he's got us by the balls - he knows he's got the money, the power and the Word. His trinity is Father, Bible, OHP; his version of the Articles makes Newman look PC. [ 03. June 2004, 10:22: Message edited by: dyfrig ]

He posted on one of the late lamented ThomasDF's threads. He also uses some very odd spellings ( including incorrect spelling of German ), and has a profile that looks decidedly dodgy. Not one of his recent posts could be described as anything other than strange. I'm not saying it's Thomas, but I do think this person is less than serious. [ 03.

Swapping your sinful rancour for righteous anger is easy to do. All that is required is to not swear, and use biblical-sounding language. With quotes from Scripture a bonus. If you had said abomination instead of fucktard people would be bowing down. You could also make a reference to spitting him out of your mouth but, this being Hell, someone would make a snide comment about oral sex.
Some of the early Church Fathers excelled at insulting people while appearing Holy. St. John Chrysostom was a master at this, though St. Paul got an emasculation reference into the Bible, which is clever work. [ 03. June 2004, 14:05: Message edited by: Lurker McLurker ]

That sounds too much like hard work, Lurker.
My way is easier.
MT, repeat after me: What I displayed was righteous anger, not sinful rancour.
Repeat that five times.
There ya go, righteous anger instead of sinful rancour
That'll be £25.
