I did, however, just see this scenario play out recently in two other settings. First, in a Baptist church where several "teachers" basically freaked out when I questioned their dogmatic stance on "Pre-Trib Rapture For All." I was simply looking for Berean style Bible inquiry and discussion. Not on this topic! Was this then, as you say, just a feel-good early Sunday morning social "clubbing" with coffee and deserts?

I have to say, Ohio, I recently got heated discussing the millennial age with an older man. What bothered me was not so much his stance against me, but because of how he made assumptions about the rest of my beliefs and countered what I presented based on those assumptions. It felt like I was speaking with the elders from The Lord's Recovery all over again. Still, I got quite emotional and backed out even though I began the discourse and debate. I was still too raw from what I had experienced during my departure to handle such things.
