ironmonk Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 (edited) [quote name='Aluigi' date='Oct 23 2004, 09:10 PM'] maybe i'm stupid, but why is the dad saying 'uh oh' to the sign in your comic jmj? also, Ironmonk rocks. His entire life story is summed up in this cartoon from envoy [img]http://www.envoymagazine.com/joe-catholic.gif[/img] [/quote] LOL... Thanks bro. Just a note to those who don't know the story... I've been reading the bible since I was six, really got into it at 12... not because anti-Catholics were attacking me... anti-Catholics started attacking me long after I knew the bible... but it was an anti-Catholic that got me to learn the Sacred Tradition. You can read my story here: [url="http://www.baptistboard.net/board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33"]http://www.baptistboard.net/board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33[/url] God Bless, ironmonk Edited October 24, 2004 by ironmonk
jmjtina Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 because the dad is saying, "Uh, oh. What did Calvin do?" because obviously Calvin did something that he knows he will be in trouble for, like breaking a window playing ball in house....so the sign says, hate the sin love the sinner....... :rotfl: i am wierd.
foundsheep Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 [quote name='Winchester' date='Oct 22 2004, 01:27 PM'] There's time for many different methods. the trick is to know when to use the fist, when to use the open hand. [/quote] AMEN! Ironmonks material has helped me on several occasions.
Sinner Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 The Monk is correct 99% of the time (Don't get mad cause I didn't say 100% and please don't ask me to find the 1%) and most folks don't like to be wrong. Some people say abrasive...... Charity is a tougher virtue than it sounds.
BeenaBobba Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Max is an acquired taste. With some people, his method is undoubtedly helpful. With others, it can get in the way. It's like that with everyone, though. I'm sure my method annoys some people yet brings others closer to Catholicism. I know this for a fact. Max is particularly effective with those who are stubborn, tough, and able to withstand a couple of hard punches to the nose, figuratively speaking. God bless, Jennifer
BeenaBobba Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 To be honest, Max has annoyed me on occasion, but I don't dislike him. I've always liked that he's a real man who just doesn't take carp. Nowadays, you don't see many old school men like that. He's a breath of fresh air. God bless, Jennifer
M.SIGGA Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 in the past Ironmonk has irritated me more than anyone else on phatmass, but it is usually because I was wrong; mostly about the faith and politics stuff. I don't agree with you 110% of the time, but Max you do a really good job. You might be interested to know I decided to switch parties and become a Republican last month... who.... is supporting... BUSH! I don't post much because I don't have you to argue with anymore. & don't flatter urself
Azriel Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Dude, you know we've had our battles, but you are the bee's knees for sure. The cat's meow, even.

It has been rare that he has needed such correction. Blessings
Dave Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Ironmonk is awesome; I agree! I'm gonna be honest and admit that I haven't always agreed with everything he's said (although I'd say that would just be anywhere from 1-5% of the things he's said). But no matter what, I admire him; he's a truly great person!
jasJis Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Max, Next time you're in Tampa, give me a ring and the first pitcher and 50 wings at Beef's is on me!
luciana Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Wwo, that's great, Max. I've loved reading your posts. Just awhile ago you posted to a pmer who was doubting in God and you wrote a nice response that included a link to an excellent Peter Kreeft article which I bookmarked. Though you're methods may not please everyone all the time, you've always been a wealth of information.
Ash Wednesday Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I think Ironmonk does a fine job. Perhaps his methods don't work for everyone, but that doesn't make it bad or wrong. Some people respond better to being beaten over the head, others respond more to subtle tactics. It's probably why God makes us all just a little bit different, so we can deal with each other accordingly.

Winchester Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Have you ever noticed that when there's a heart next to the topic, it's generally critical?

Apotheoun Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 He's doing a fine job as an apologist, and the Church certainly needs apologists today more than ever.

[/quote] Thanks bro... I'll take you up on that as soon as I drop the extra poundage that I picked up. Everyone... Thank you. You choked me up and put a smile on my face (something I've been needing). God Bless, Love in Christ & Mary, ironmonk
