Hi everyone,
I have been a lurker over at the Bereans site for quite some time and now one at this site. This will be my first post ever. So please bear with me as I might make some mistakes.
Regarding a reference/moniker for this site I thought of "
Discovery" which might be a good fit. The Synonyms are very close to many of our experiences in the LC. Their definitions describe our situation and exactly what ex-LCers are doing today...
Here are the definitions of "
Discovery" according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
1 a: the act or process of
discovering
b (1)archaic :
disclosure
(2)obsolete :
display
c obsolete :
exploration
2: something
discovered
3: the usually pretrial
disclosure of pertinent facts or documents by one or both parties to a legal action or proceeding
"
Discover" is transitive verb
1 a: to make known or visible :
expose
b archaic :
display
2 a:
to obtain sight or knowledge of for the first time : find <
discover the solution>
b:
find out <
discovered he was out of gas>
Synonyms:
discover,
ascertain,
determine,
unearth,
learn mean to find out what one did not previously know.
discover may apply to something requiring exploration or investigation or to a chance encounter <
discovered the source of the river>.
ascertain implies effort to find the facts or the truth proceeding from awareness of ignorance or uncertainty <attempts to
ascertain the population of the region>.
determine emphasizes the intent to establish the facts definitely or precisely <unable to
determine the origin of the word>.
unearth implies bringing to light something forgotten or hidden <
unearth old records>.
learn may imply acquiring knowledge with little effort or conscious intention (as by simply being told) or it may imply study and practice <I
learned her name only today> <
learning Greek>.
There is life abundant after the LC as we are
discovering the truth in the Word and the facts which had been hidden from us for so many decades. It is so refreshing to have found a group of believers who truly seek after Him, are following Him and not a fallible man.
