Would God convert a drunkard and cause him to desire to stay in the bar to convert others?
Which is a worse temptation... a saved ex-roman catholic attending the roman system he was indoctrinated with, or the ex-alcoholic attending a drinking session at a bar? (I don't actually know the answer)

No! You've gotten it wrong again.
LIGHT has not fellowship with DARKNESS.
Your Roman Catholic Church is very much in darkness with a wicked cursed false gospel and a child of God has no more business staying in the false Roman Catholic Religion than a young man engaged to be married would have of visiting a house of ill repute, even if he was just going there to talk with the nice ladies.

John:
It's because the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer will not suffer deliberate attendance where there is repeated blasphemy.
If the Protestant protest and beliefs are correct, then they obviously are simply correct. So logic would dictate that that is where people should worship.

I have already pointed out you are heretic as far as both Catholics and Christians are concerned. It has been pointed out the RCC cares about nothing as long as you keep a superficial appearance up by participating in the sacraments, which means you are Catholic and not a Christian. As,

Remember, John, Christianity isn't just about you, it is also about others, stop setting a big example.

They teach "Liberal values" - Which as they say is a whole different ball game, indeed a whole different religion.
Why John it's almost as bad as the heretical dogma's which you imbibe weekly at the papist show.

Thats strange! I didn't know they were taught in schools?
I mean, they are not taught in the Church of England nor the Church of Scotland; - so why teach the kids that which is alien to the majority of adults?
After all, the Wrath to come is coming for a reason is it not?
OR
Bureaucrats and politicians are stupid!

Really? I have known Baptist ministers who didn't know their knee from their elbow and when it came to the Bible they couldn't find their head with both hands. So you would listen to someone and agree with them just because they are a Baptist minister? the Bereans didn't even agree with the Apostle Paul till they checked the Scriptures for themselves.

John,
Your Baptist friends fail to see the entire commandment: "Thou shalt not MAKE unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
Then again, I do not know your heart, and the full extent of value that you place upon these pagan relics. However, the sentimental value that you place upon these things, and your attempts to justify keeping them by selecting portions of the commandment seems to illustrate that you still do not fully understand the important differences between sensual and empirical worship and that which is "in spirit and truth." Their very visible appearance is equivocal.1 Thess. 5:22

Dr. Phil wrote:
John,
The point is that absolute truth is not conveyed via empiricism. Pictures, trinkets, crosses, statues, candles, robes, etc., can not speak the truth. Even these require statements to explain their significance. This tells us in itself that truth is conveyed via propositions. The Bible is propositional truth and the only place where we can find the "Word of God" not the picture of God. "In the beginning was the Word", not the picture or sculpture.
"And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made." 1 Kings 15:11-12
Do you think this was an easy thing for Asa to do?

There is a comma after Mary.

This is the definition of the word "crucifix" = "a cross with the figure of Jesus crucified upon it."
Please go to a real church John.
