coC friends? 1. What happens to your friends in The Church when you leave to go to another coC? They bail on you. 2. What happens if someone in The Church gets in trouble? They bail on them. 3. What happens if you ask them to enjoy some kind of fun activity with you (like boating, snow/water skiing,...

Here we go again. Last night, I was on the phone with my older sister who lives in North Carolina. She & her husband are coc’ers and my brother-in-law is an elder. Ironically, their coc has a kitchen downstairs (which I have never understood). The discussion of singing came up. She immediately s...

I always found it ironic that Mother’s Day at the coc was celebrated. In the coc’s I attended, all of the mothers would show up at church wearing a corsage. The men would mention Mother’s Day within the announcements and the preacher would even talk about it during his sermon. The celebration of Mot...

Of course, the La Vista coc seems to have a franchise on ‘the Truth’ so here’s their take: "A more subtle difference between the qualifications is in the wording of "children." The Greek phrasing for an elder indicates two or more children while a deacon indicates one or more." h...

For those of you who are married how did your spouse accept leaving the coc when you decided to leave? My wife was ready to go before I was ready to leave. Since we attended with my Dad it took me longer to leave than I would have otherwise. We now attend a strong & healthy church and it has mad...

That preacher man needs to be concerned about his ‘appearance of evil’, ‘causing a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother’ and ‘each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed’. That’s the irony with the coc. We all have passages we can pull out and use...

Do any of you know of any coc that offers online worship services? Do you know how the coc feels about worshiping online? I’m sure they would pull out the ‘forsaking the assembly’ card although one could easily argue that people are still in attendance. You would think that attending 10%-20% of the ...

“The La Vista Church of Christ, located on the south side of Omaha, Nebraska, has no bowling league, no softball team, nor does it sponsor a Boy Scout troop. We have an air-conditioned building with several rooms for Bible classes, but there is no kitchen, no banquet hall, no gymnasium, or party roo...

Did your coc start each service on time? At all of the coc’s that I have attended and visited I don’t believe I can remember any that started services on time. Most consistently started ~5-10 minutes late. Today, I attend a mega-church that always starts on time. They start with info video’s about 1...

Could it be due to the fact that they’re not actually preaching ‘The Truth’?
