Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I actually went to church this past weekend (though I usually don't because the Easter sermon is almost always especially bad) because it was a particular preacher's last Sunday. :lol: That's great! What I've never understood is "If 'they' want to make a birthday for Jesus and celebrate it as ...

We got harassed for a year or so and then poof, all it took was a letter from me using what sounded to them like "lawsuit" language and that it proved I was such an evil person that I would take the Lord's church to court. So terms like "harassment" and "cease and desist&qu...

God is going to get really bored looking at the same few faces every day for the rest of eternity.

Agreed. But why can't both of those guys sail into Heaven? I mean compared to Hitler, they both look pretty good. Or maybe they all go to Hell. Who knows. "Compared to Hitler". Hmm...well...the coc does teach that a lie is just as bad as murder, so it's possible if there is a heaven or he...

I'm not religious anymore for some of the reasons you noted & I can't imagine I ever will be again. There is no way to know if something we call the supernatural really exists or not. There is no real evidence that it does, but some of the theories about multi universes, other dimensions, worm ...

Ah, the loophole. I decided one day that I was going to sit down and THINK. Really, really think. I realized "they can't kick you out, and have no Biblical rights to toss you out, forget about you, but harass you." SO, I told my church's preacher and elders that I just felt like I wanted ...

I've also come to realize that everyone has their own personal way of making sense of their soul. This will be a bit long, probably very strange to most, and ...

It is my personal opinion that some of the more extreme congregations meet the definition of a religious cult. Agreed, and while they may not fit the exact definition of a religious cult, they're guilty on enough points to make them way to cultish for my taste. Cults practice public shaming, shunni...

Thanks guys! Cootie Brown: I've been out a while and thankfully so far no need for a lawyer. BUT that's a damn good idea incase they come knocking on my door! If I can get the money together. agricola: My great uncle actually moved to another state, started going to his wife's Methodist church, went...

No problem sharing. I wanted to get it off my chest. I just wonder if anyone else has been so wrecked by this church-cult.
Because that's what it is. A cult. A cult is damaging, and I am damaged. And obviously a lot of other people are as well.
