Hi.
Had no idea there was an ex-CoC support Website. Should have checked it out earlier. Actually ran across it when doing some research on ex-Mormons. I''m a 4th generation CoC. Family converted by circuit-preacher on horseback in Oklahoma in the 1800's. I moved away while at Pepperdine. Over the years, my family members (mother, father, sister, brother) came with me although mother and father stayed fellowshipping a CoC congregation due to culture and comfort. Love how the CoC focuses on knowing the Bible. Find that unique to the many donominations I've attended over the years. Currently being ordained in the Nazarine Church although at hear I'm closes to Christian Church. Love taking communion weekly. God bless.

Welcome to the ex board!
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.

Welcome! Hope you can find encouragement here.
Currently writing a book based on my experiences as a child in the CoC. Watch for updates so I can include other ex-members insights
