Another apparent fraud

Going back to my point about the NT. Suppose in the book of Acts, you saw people selling properties and laying the proceeds at Peter's feet. Then you see where Peter sets up a ski resort on Mount...

A gallery of rogues part 3

The use of the word "rogues" here isn't in the conventional sense of moral disapproval or disgust, since we shouldn't make moral characterizations of our peers. Rather, I'm thinking of the sense of a...

A Gallery of Rogues Continued

You'll notice that my tenor has changed over the years. Initially, I felt that the LC had good experiences, but critiqued them for their spiritual snobbishness and self-congratulatory style - "Only...

A Gallery of Rogues

I'll add something here - not wanting to create threads with every new thought, reaction or idea - and will tie it to my previous post about the problem of children making life-altering commitments...

Childhood

Had a thought to share and decided to post it here. I was raised in the "hippy" era of the U.S., my parents did a lot of booze & drugs (Their parents drank heavily - my parents added drugs to that)....

Re: aron's testimony

I posted the below, in blue, on the now locked-out and password-protected 'alternative views' thread. Placing it here also because it is my own testimony.

Yes, our experiences were different. That is why it is foolish to paint, broad-brush, all who post on this board as "opposers" or any such thing. Or, for that matter, to characterize those who defend...

On being an 'opposer'

The above is from my originally-placed testimony; I wanted to reference it with comments about what it is like for me today to be a dreaded ''opposer'', even perhaps what I have heard referred to as...

cmw,
Yes, it was a good spiritual boot camp. It was my 'rehab' from the years of excess in the world. I will forever be grateful for the experience. Especially for all the kind people God sent me,...
