Thank you Ivy

agricola - regardless of where the topic goes (or should go), I have absolutely no desire at all to "debate" it with anyone. Discuss it, yes. Debate it, no.

agricola, I restarted it over in New Paths before I read your comment about Skeptics. And I think it fits better in New Paths, but you're the admin. Do as you think best. I don't think that I'm a skeptic. My problem is that I've learned some things in my work career that I tend to carry over into ot...

@seeking - Like Agricola said, there are plenty, plenty of CoC doctrines that are wrong. But that's OK. If it will help you, I can show you some of them. But, even bigger than the incorrect doctrines is the need to be 100% correct in the first place. I could discuss with you many of the doctrines, b...

My wife and I left the CoC a long time ago. I am still solid in my faith in Jesus the Christ, but I have recently gotten to the point that I am "done" with "church". Google it, and you will find that there are many of us. So many, that we have been give names, such as the dechurc...

Let me go a little further with this. If any of you find this interesting at all, I would really appreciate some good discussion on this topic. I guess it's kind of my "new path". I recently joined a "coaching" group. The idea is based on Napolean Hill's "mastermind group&qu...

I guess I forgot something, so I'll reply to my own post. Anyway, I've recently been thinking a lot about this "dechurched" thing (or some call us "The Dones"). I searched the web for a support group and discussing forum for the dechurched and couldn't find anything. But I rememb...

@seeking - Realize that most Christians (probably your wife included) do not place as much emphasis on being doctrinally correct in the first place. And you may also reach this point eventually too.

I was here several years ago, and posted a fair amount. It's been awhile. I don't even remember my old user name. It may have been "freeman2be" or "jcfreedom" or something like that, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm back. My wife and I left the CoC many years ago - about 20 or so I ...
