Oh was that a 'please discuss' question? I thought it was an introduction statement.
Sorry.

1. No society is monolithic. There were probably some keeping the old ways. I have seen offerings in Hawaii. There are some signs old practitioners are still alive. Samaritans practice a form of Judaism that they claim to have had before the Babylonian captivity. The Jews in Jesus's day did not consider them quite right. Probably still true today. I saw a documentary on this. There are still spooky people in New Orleans. Even the CoC is more varied many members think. I have seen it first hand. Every society has its underground. My son has worked as a PI. There are places on the underbelly of San Francisco you would not believe.DAC wrote: 1. The Israelites brought Satan home with them from dualistic Babylon.
2. There is no Trinity. The Spirit of Holiness is not a "person."
3. No "eternal existence" for those who "die in their sins." Only annihilation.
Wasn't looking for "shock and awe." But--no different than most CofC'ers--you look for the worst in people.GuitarHero wrote:You may have to wait more than 2 hours for someone to respond before declaring this a "dying board."
And yeah, I imagine you might've thought you dropped a bombshell on us, but the truth of the matter is that there are all kinds of us exers. Some of us just decided we were OK with musical instruments and went to the next best fundamentalist church. Some of us are Preterists. Some of us are Catholic. Some of us are gay. Some of us are Republicans. Some of us are atheists. Some of us are Muslim. Some of us are just like you. Some of us are nothing like you.
So yeah, you'd have to drop a pretty big bombshell to get the shock and debate that I suspect you were looking for.
Welcome.
I go to that link--this is what I get:agricola wrote:To go to the discussion board (between coc members and past/non-members):
Start at the portal to the main site:
h**p://www.ex-churchofchrist.com/index.htm
then click through to the 'dialog' page:
h**p://www.ex-churchofchrist.com/Bulletin.htm
and THEN - there are two links to discussion board, link a leads to this board (the support board) and link b leads to the dialog board between coc members and former members - assuming it works -
- I was having trouble with it yesterday -
Hmmm -
teresa: the link to the discussion board from the main portal appears to be broken.
But you can go directly to it HERE:
h**p://members.usafreeforum.com/
Just replace all those ** with tt.
That would be the email account used to create your account - and a return email might have been shunted to your junk folder.should click on the link that was sent (email) to activate her account. She needs to check her trash in case the link went directly to her trash.
