Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

That is really sad, Chainbreaker. Yes, the doorknocker entryway was of interest to me; they rarely really recruit converts by knocking on doors. Or so it seemed to me based on the churches I've experienced. I didn't see many people knocking on doors. Yeah, they loved to regale people with the story...

She got covid at the very beginning, along with my dad who died of it, and even with COPD she had very mild symptoms. She had to stay quarantined in her house for the weeks surrounding his death and speak to people through the door and I think that broke her brain a little bit more. I sympathize, an...

She lives about 20 mins away, not far. It’s just your garden-variety COC, very smiley and welcoming on the surface, but more or less the same as all the others. She goes three times a week now that they’re doing services again. She’s had covid, as have most of her friends. Some died, some lived. She...

She told me things like “I guess they’re going to make me go ...

Nah, she’s not healthy at all. She’s in her 80s and getting nuttier by the day. She gets all upset when I don’t come over for weeks at a time, but it’s because of things like this. I know she’s just chomping at the bit to say something about me not going to church.

I posted here years ago, but couldn’t remember my login info, so I created a new account. I was raised COC after my parents were suckered in by doorknockers when I was two. After attending, and getting kicked out of the AIM(adventures in missions)program in the late ‘90s, I finally decided I’d had e...
