Yes. My family got our huge green rear wheel drive station wagon stuck in the snow countless times trying to make it to Church when I was growing up (even with snow tires and sometimes chains). It was a badge of honor. You simply cannot miss the weekly traditional lords supper. I think it was more a...

It's like a dog frantically chasing its tail while slowly losing hope over time in ever catching it.

Would hardline coc'ers listen to Campell if he returned today? I've always wondered if they would actually listen to Paul or even Jesus if they returned. They would just want to argue with them (of course using BCV).
