Hi there :)
Hi everyone! I just registered. I left the coc a few years ago. Have not been happy with many of of the "denominations" I have visited (I firmly believe that the coc itself is a denomination). Although, there is one recently that has been very good --and has several ex coc members there. They do teach baptism for the forgiveness of sins and partake of the Lord's supper (only once a month). I am thankful to be out finally and have been "on the road to recovery" for some time now. Suffered the spiritual abuse of some family members (and friends), but as time goes on and I'm not weekly being brainwashed, I have been able to see more realities and facts about the coc that I was not allowed to even entertain while being enslaved there. Anyway, I hope to be of some help here (if I can) and I do thank whomever put up this board!

Welcome, glad that you have left. You are among friends who understand.

Welcome to the ex-board - enjoy yourself!
History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.

Isn't the world wonderful...I am all for rational optimism and I am staying positive.
