Pursuing Him in Scottsdale!

Funny story. When we first moved to Columbus (north side) my boss asked me what I thought of the neighborhood. I said it was good, but I was a little concerned about everyone there flying these peculiar flags with big zeros on them. I asked, somewhat jokingly if he thought we had moved into the middle of a cult or something. He looked real concerned for a couple minutes as he considered this, then busted out laughing big time. He ran into the next room, and the next thing I knew the whole office was absolutely in stitches!

There are all kinds of "cults" . . .

And how about that forum cult with their bizarre, perpetual Lee-bashing ritual.

Whoa! Be careful dude.

We can find fault with any brother, to be sure. And often it descends into "endless genealogies," which profits little. In the end, it comes down to one thing - Love. That is, is Christ our first love and does He really know us; and do we love the brothers?

Yes, I am very aware of that, and witnessed firsthand by many I meet with now. While I enjoyed the ministry coming from Bill Freeman (we used to listen to his shortwave radio broadcasts in Columbus in the 1980s), and some of his writings, the Lord preserved me from being exposed to them directly.

So OHIO, we were there 1983-88. We also met with a very small LC group in Cambridge, OH a couple years prior to that. When were you in Columbus?

I left at the end of '83.

You went from Berkeley to Cambridge?!? Who did you know there?

Hmmmm ... where did you live on the "north side?" What were those flags with "big zeroes?"

Yer gonna laugh, but you are displaying one of those flags "with big zeros" as your avatar!

I didn't go directly from Berkeley to Cambridge. There were at least a couple years in between. We actually lived in Moundsville, West Virginia at the time, and would drive over to Cambridge. My new wife, who hadn't been exposed to the LC was absolutely enamored. She said she never experienced the Lord like at the LC meetings. Cambridge was very small, maybe 4 couples. We hung around with a dear and simple couple there named Wally & Marilyn. So when I got laid off, I looked for work in Columbus, and we moved there to be in the "church life."

Was Louis a leading one in Columbus when you were there? I always liked him, even though he always seemed razor sharp and serious. I heard there was a big blow-up there as well, in the late 80s or early 90s, but don't know much detail.

Ahhh yes ... my old memory comes through ... I do remember you. In fact, I seem to remember visiting you in Moundsville, and then later on in St. Clairsville. You probably would like to forget that last visit.

Them "big zeros" are not big "zeroes," but "BIG O's" for BIG O-H-I-O!

Yes, LouisC was an elder. We migrated together from Cleveland in '77. Yes, there was a big blow-up. Actually, several of them. Cambridge also went up in smoke. So many sad and tragic things occurred in the LC's, which all seemed to start with leadership abuse.

Anyways, glad to see you are doing well in Scottsdale!

Yes, them were the days my friend! You visited me? Hmmm, my old memory doesn't seem to be doing as well as yours!

Okay . . . just found this old post. Old age (I'm 62) is like meeting everyone you've already met, for the first time! Too funny! Did I not pick-up on your comment from several years ago that you (may have) visited us in Moundsville and/or St. Clairsville?! I have no recollection of any of that. Please tell me more! (and did you tell me your name?)
