I don't know why it doesn't work

My program runs and works just fine, it loops until a non-uncensored word is written in the program, and shows everything just fine, I really don't know what's happening. The BUMMER! says that an uncensored word made his way trough the program, but when i do it manually that doesn't happen. I really need help, ¡PLEASE!

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
        String story = prompter.story();
        Template tmpl = new Template(story);
        List<String> fakeResults = prompter.run(tmpl);
        String results = tmpl.render(fakeResults);
        System.out.printf("Your TreeStory:%n%n%s", results);

#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story

Much better this time.

Change one line:

            if (mCensoredWords.contains(response.toLowerCase())) {
                System.out.printf("Error: %s is one of the censored words in this program%n", response);
            }
            if (mCensoredWords.contains(response.toLowerCase())) {
                System.out.printf("Error: word is one of the censored words in this program%n");
            }

And you shall pass.
