I've finally moved from the Rise and Grind to the Midnight RoyalTea and I am once again undecided as to which is my favorite of the different scents.

it actually smells and feels like a cup of tea for my skin. my skin feels softer, looks smoother, and smells amazing.

Midnight RoyalTea works in every season, but fall is when the clove and patchouli make the most sense.

Our most masculine scent.
Available in 3 sizes.

it's not about following the catechism perfectly, the catechism is there to help us understand and practice the faith. people send themselves to hell by dying in a state of mortal sin, outside of a state of grace or friendship with God.

of course God could choose to save everyone, anyway, but we can't blame God if we choose to disobey Him and end up in hell.

it's like a father that tells his young child not to play in the street, only on the lawn or the driveway. while the child is on the property the father can protect him but the moment he steps onto the street he may be struck by a passing car. the father wouldn't take any joy in it happening but because he knew the dangers he set a boundary across which the child should not pass. whether He chooses to save a soul anyway is up to Him, but we should strive to be perfect as He is, to be as much like Him as we can, to be totally sinless and holy. we should take all of His commands and laws seriously because we have no way of knowing if we will be an exception to His just laws and we have no reason to feel we deserve to be treated with such mercy when so many others were likely not.

@charmingthird what color were they

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@BeaverGroyper @GaryWinthrop88 I'd say it's possible but I wouldn't say there's a good chance and I definitely would bet my eternity on it

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@BeaverGroyper @GaryWinthrop88 it's terrifying to consider how many people will be going to hell if we look at the world from God's perspective. we pray He has mercy on all of us, especially those in most need of it.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

you only go to purgatory if you're going to Heaven. if you die with mortal sin on your conscience you go to hell, barring some extraordinary grace and mercy from God which is obviously His right as He chooses.

my advice would be, if you are planning to enroll in OCIA, keep an open mind. coming from outside the Church there will be a lot of differences in theology, morality, etc. if you go into it with an open mind, willing to learn and understand the Catholic position on all of these things, you'll find it all makes perfect sense and the consistency across the religion will give you peace of mind.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@BeaverGroyper @GaryWinthrop88 I suppose that's part of why adults take OCIA, so this kind of thing can be clarified. sins of the flesh are said to be the cause of damnation for the vast majority of souls. even if it doesn't seem that big a deal to us, God makes it clear through Scripture that it is to Him.

poor catechesis. the older generations grew up in what they imagined was a "new era" of the Church in which all those boring old rules and rituals would be swept out in favor of a more feelings-based religion. the Novus Ordo mostly caters to those same people and the parish councils are made up of boomer women who've been keeping the parishes alive for decades so the priests have to play politics with them so they never talk about the need for confession or worthy reception of the Eucharist or any other truth that makes those types feel uncomfortable.

it's like the Church was trying to compete with the rise of protestantism at the time and boomers took that to mean they were once saved always saved...

@BeaverGroyper @GaryWinthrop88 and like I told Gary, I'm not an expert but feel free to ask any questions if you have them, I'd love to help in any way I can. and I'll be praying for you both

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@BeaverGroyper @GaryWinthrop88 let's go!!! praise Christ man I'm so happy to hear that. I promise you won't regret it.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

I can't say it will happen if you do X or Y and feelings should rarely be trusted but I can say the few times I have experienced something I believe to be supernatural were either in the adoration chapel at Church, attacks during my reversion, and weird stuff ghost hunting lol.

but God may keep consolations from someone to make sure they love Him for the right reasons. it's like training a dog with treats. if He doesn't think you need the treats He may just not give them to you.

there are also levels to prayer. the majority of people who have ever existed will ever experience the first two levels, vocal prayer and mental prayer, but there are I believe seven beyond that, culminating in what is the closest thing to the Beatific Vision a person can experience on earth, perpetually, accompanied by a longing to die, not in a self-loathing way, but in a burning desire to finally be united with your Beloved.

we are all called to that level of holiness but few get there in this life. through the Church and the graces She dispenses, though, it is possible.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@GaryWinthrop88 @BeaverGroyper that's just wild to hear. it's terrifying but it's also the most badass thing in the world that the Rosary, the Church, Our Lord actually aggro literal demons on a plane of which we can't even conceive... it's just the truth in big, flashing block letters. it's incredible.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@GaryWinthrop88 @BeaverGroyper bro

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

I totally get that. I'm italian and a cradle Catholic so I can't relate but a lot of my friends come from non-Catholic families and went through all sorts of things in converting.

the way I see it is that you know it's the truth because everyone is not only tested but literally besieged when they attempt to enter the gates.

me, my wife, my brother, his wife, my friends all went through crazy things when we reverted/converted. night terrors, "hauntings" or whatever it was, violent nightmares, extreme amplification of sinful desires and urges, misfortunes, etc. the devil literally throws everything at a person to stop them from joining the Church.

my strongest recommendation is to start praying the Rosary. just do it for a few days and if you don't want to continue you don't have to, but you may find it to be a powerful aid.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@GaryWinthrop88 @BeaverGroyper I'm not an expert on anything but if you ever have questions I can answer at least a few of them

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

@GaryWinthrop88 @BeaverGroyper I really, really appreciate that. genuinely. that means the world to me.

[Punished Based Faith TV @BasedFTV]

idk why, and idek if this is how it works, but I'm scared of the idea that my mom will be a different person than I remember in Heaven, if God grants we both make it there

she was in a really bad accident when I was in second grade, died twice, was in a coma for weeks, apparently she went to Heaven and met the miscarried children of a close family friend I call my Aunt whom she had never told anyone about except her husband

she came out of it a totally different person. I love my mom with all my heart, but I don't remember the person she was. I'm sure that's who she will be in Heaven, I'm just kind of scared of meeting her again.

maybe that's crazy. is there anyone in your life like that?
