fundy_mental Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Donno probably not what we think it is but I can't understand german
Cathurian Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 It's not German. It looks like a weird cross between German and French. Swiss German maybe? Anyways...it looks like some kind of youth event. They're having a lunch, youth Mass, concert, and "happy hour". ...Right.
Ash Wednesday Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 It's probably Luxembourg. And the event sounds very strange.
stbernardLT Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I'm wondering if happy hour means you only tithe half of your normal amount.

Switched on! Shagadelic! It's my happening, baby, and it freaks me out! "Jesus unplugged!" I loved the groovy psychedelic Jesuses. These people seem to think it's still 1968 (probably having flashbacks to their own misspent youth). (But they think they're being hip with today's kids by saying stuff like "pimp my Church!" )
Church Punk Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 You know what... Lets pimp the Church....Papa style, With the B-16 bling bling, if you know what I mean It'll be PHAT -Lets renovate the cafetria so that its perminately closed. -Lets take the Church teachings for what they are, the infallible dogmas given to us through out of history by Jesus Christ. -Lets start Marian devotions and pray the Rosary daily -Lets bring back the shrines and statues into Churchs -Lets bring about the New Evangilization -Let become more active in our communities Yes lets PIMP our churchs!

I don´t know what to think about it... Edited March 4, 2006 by All4HIM

Paladin Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Ah, Europe. : I'd like to "pimp" my church as well... Something in the Gothic style, stained glass windows, mahogany pews, with the tabernacle directly behind the altar where it belongs.
jezic Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 i'm likin that ^^ though it doesn't necessarily have ot be gothic, any of the sacred architecture styles will do wonderfully.
stbernardLT Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I can really see some protestants having a field day with this phrase simply because some consider the Catholic Church to be the "whore of babylon". This would be implying that babylon is our pimp.
Fidei Defensor Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 They are pimping my church. They are replacing all the carpet with marble tiles, purchasing new statues to add to our collection, re-painting all the walls white with gold trim, and painting a beautiful starry sky behind, around and above the altar in the sanctuary. As well, paintings of angels in adoration on the wall behind the altar. The artist's rendition looks beautiful. It is being re-verted back to its former glory.

Honestly, I am really confused as to how any Biblical Christian could fail to see that this is wrong. Hi guys. Edited March 6, 2006 by ICTHUS

There've been people that have this warp sense of "giving to the poor" and removing things from the churches, but they don't realize that the church is a place for the poor to *have* beautiful things.

When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and said, 'Why this waste? It could have been sold for much, and the money given to the poor.' Since Jesus knew this, he said to them, 'Why do you make trouble for the woman? She has done a good thing for me. The poor you will always have with you; but you will not always have me.'" -Matt 26:6-11 We make glorious places of worship to worship the Lord's glory. Yes, we also give the poor, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, give shelter to the homeless. But we can't neglect the Lord's house either.
Paladin Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I looked at the rest of the site, and ran some of it through the translator. It actually made me realize some of the stuff I was missing with Lent. I think wandering that Luxembourgian(ish? ese?) site reminded me of why I was supposed to be fasting and, indeed, why I do anything. The Lord works in mysterious ways, no?
