@Jon C..., in another post I made reference to the potential of violence. My intent was mere cautionary in nature as there are a multitude of individuals out there in the "real" world that could possibly take offense to any challenge of them and their belief's. From that comment of mine this...

Hurt my pride? Don't flatter yourself. At my age I've long since distanced myself from trying to impress others for pride-ly reasons. I just say what's on my heart and the hearer can take it or leave it..., I say what's within reason I suppose. ...well, I just gave my six year old (Great...

"What letter are you referring to?" Letter, post card; e-mail; phoncon; smoke signals..., however it is that you communicate with these folks. Just "delete" the word (letter) out of your memory bank and move on. As for any threats being "over-the-top" ask Charles Mansion for some insights...

@Evan-6589..., I fully understand and really do appreciate your efforts in this matter but let me provide the following. First, you can tell people but you can't tell 'em much. Second, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Personally, if I were to be in receipt of...

Your anger comes from self-righteousness....? ...wow.

Sounds like the church he was "booted" out of was owned and operated by a family of stuffed shirts.

"Grand Pa Amos laid the corner stone to this here church back in 1932. He passed away in 1934 at age 83. Who was Grand Pa Amos? Well, he was my Great, Great Grand Pa. That's who he was! I never knew him, you see, as I wasn't born until 1968 and all we got to remember him by is this old and faded...

Greektim..., ask that thief on the cross just how hard it is to attain salvation.

What is a "Healthy Church"? In my opinion, a healthy church is a church that put the Lord Jesus Christ FIRST and lets all the assorted NONSENSE fall by the wayside. A healthy church is one absent the funny handshakes; the eye winks; the gentle head nods; the code words; the favoritism; the...

It would be foolish for any believer to REFUSE to submit to the teaching and preaching of a God Called Pastor. On the other hand, it is up to the believer to rightly divide the Word of Truth. All pastor's that I have sat under have said things and taken scripture contrary to what I had...

...thank you nodak. Thank you for your understanding.

John..., I will be leaving the church but have absolutely no desire to cause any problems or engage in any wrong doing's (pointing the finger-gossiping-seeking support., etc.) toward anyone there. I will quietly fade away. I will however probably never join another church. Visiting other...

Let me provide some additional insights here. When I joined that church five years ago I joined as a Private. Today, I am still a Private. There are three families joined at the hip. At my age (70) I have no desire to commandeer, take over, be responsible for, or lead in any aspect of the...

Thank you, John. I can't for the life of me understand why any church would be adamantly apposed to a Statement of Faith or By-Laws reflecting such. It's so simple.

How right you are, HandD. The "facing of reality". Enough of the nonsense already..., it's time to deal with reality. You quote 2 Tim 2:26 "And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." Taken captive "at his will". This...

I think that's what we are going to end up doing, Iconoclast. Just visit.

...but, but, but iconoclast..., at my age and considering the number of churches we've belonged to over the years (my employment caused us to relocate quite frequently) it does appear they are ALL almost the same. Are their any churches doing as they should?

(Notice: Longer than a sound bite) I was recently accused of being a “fear-monger” by my pastor. This was a knee-jerk reaction/response to my proposal of beefing up our by-laws to include certain language regarding our recent Supreme Court Decision regarding marriage. (I do suppose some of the...

If this school changed the name of their Mascot to that of.., "The Wimpies" it would offend real wimpies. So what's the issue here? I watched a Mike Dice video the other day of him asking millennials on the streets of San Diego who was our Nation's Capital named after..., duh..., and none of...

What did folks do many, many years ago when most couldn't read and many didn't have Bibles? A circuit riding preacher came to the community once a month. No concordances; no commentaries by Wycliffe. No radio preachers. No mailings soliciting a "blessed" prayer cloth for the small sum of...
