Why Are There So Few Non-catholics Here?

Unless they're Budge, they'll probably go to forums of their own denomination.

I don't have a denomination. Can you recommend a good one?

'cause i'm a work-outside-the-home wife and mommy of two under three. The required time needed to devote to such a site isn't something I have at this point in my life. I steal snippets of time on the net by leaving my computer on and hopping on for a few mins at a time as I can on my days off.

Relevant Magazine, if that's your style.

Probably not, but many of them would stop and look around if they happened across one. The more phatmass gets mentioned in non-Catholic areas of the Internet, or places like SQPN that tend to cross between Catholic/non-Catholic, the more people (both Catholic and otherwise) we'll have here who weren't specifically looking for a Catholic forum.

Got buried amongst MH shop talk.

To the OP:

Some of us others are here to learn. I don't usually debate because I simply lack relevant knowledge and experience. The issue comes up every so often. This remains my response.


BTW, it helps to think before you post.

You will lose. But that's okay. We will hug you when it's over.

And Nad, let me just say that I think, hands down, you are the coolest Protestant on this board.

You don't have to take the shot.

Thanks.

I'm only sort of a default Protestant because I'm not Catholic, Orthodox, or Anglican. Being here has made me think. And keep on thinking. I like it.

WHy aren't there more non-Catholics on this board?

We did have more......they just come and go.

Some fight for a while, realize that they are not going to convert anyone and then leave.
Or they convert.

Cool thing is I am not here to convert or be converted to anything. People have the right to choose. God gave us free choice, and as long as we don't choose to sin, we can live anyway we want.

You'd be surprised at how many didn't come here to convert, yet did so anyway.

[quote name='MakeYouThink' post='1631367' date='Aug 19 2008, 01:11 AM']You're right. I need to start on Medication, because I don't like poisoning my body. LOL!

Medication are for people who don't understand life and its challenges. If you're depressed, remind yourself, there was a time you weren't, so this time, though it's painful right now, will pass too and you will be happy again. People lack understanding, and so medicate themselves so easily. I just don't understand how they can be so foolish![/quote]

Neither can scientologists.

Yeah... you'd be surprised, though, some people do just call themselves Demonslayers. I've seen them on Myspace. I guess it's a new denomination cropping up.

Oh, and Catholicism isn't a denomination. So stick with us! hehe

We've all be through that one. I have already said everybody is right about medication for people who have extreme pyschological problems.

However, if you can't sleep because you worry about things too much, don't try to tell me that you need those sleeping pills. Just develop a trust that God will make all things turn out the way they should, and excercise everyday, and you'll get back to sleeping good every night in no time!

As for the question at hand. Why are there so few Non-Catholics here? I would say because they most likely spend their time on Non-Catholic message boards, much like we Catholics spend time on Catholic boards like Phatmass. We actually do have quite a few Non-Catholics but they aren't regulars here on the boards.
