A place to snark and vent about CoC doctrine and/or our experiences in the CoC. This is a place for SUPPORT and AGREEMENT only, not a place to tell someone their experience and feelings are wrong, or why we disagree with them.

Yeah but it was the cofc person who criticized it! But it was totally appropriate, IMO for that environment. That and anything that's been deep fried. Or one of those casserole concoctions that's choked in mayonnaise or sour cream.
On that note, I collect little spiral-bound cookbooks from various organizations including lots of churches - Lutheran, Green Orthodox, Methodist...I always wondered why I've never seen one published by a cofc. Maybe they think it's not scriptural to publish one.

Maybe because if they sold them it would be called a "fundraiser", which is not scriptural.
We got judged for having our own song books and folding chairs at home, instead of borrowing from the building.
We had many copies of a number of various books...it was kind of cool to break out an old Sacred Selections and remember childhood. Our maybe go to a split leaf psalter to change things up. It really doesn't cost much to get sets of books, especially is they are used. Just takes storage space, and we have tons of that.
Suspicious minds who had once enjoyed our amenities later determined that having books and chairs was evidence of our plan to split the church and start our own church.

I have belonged to CofC's that have done cookbooks.

LOL!!!!
What would be required to make the cookbook scriptural?
* No vulgar names of recipes, like "Sex on the Beach Cake".
So, in the religious realm the word "Sex" is considered vulgar? Experience tells me you're correct. That makes me wonder if anyone is going to make it to heaven. Is it the JW's that believe only 144,000 will make it to heaven. If so, they are probably being optimistic.
