Re: Adults can't live alone & must have roommates

It’s the same reason members of the c of C were discouraged from reading anything not written by a member of “The Church”. They feared members might become “confused” if they were exposed to ideas, beliefs, and other points of view, that differed from c of C teaching. That kind of censorship was int...

Re: There is hope.

Welcome! Many have taken your journey and freed themselves from the bondage of religion, and it appears more and more are making that same journey with each passing year. Congrats on your efforts to find the exit sign. ;)

Re: So judgy

I would have gotten mad and switched from whatever insurance cootie sold to geicko. ;) Only if you could find it cheaper. ;) Money always trumps emotion. :lol: :lol: And I represented about 20 auto insurance companies, so I could usually beat or match the competitions price. That’s why I was an Ind...

Re: So judgy

I looked at some commentaries about the “I never knew you verse”. It said this referred to people whose religiosity and good works were all for show. It mentioned Judas, who appeared to be in unison with the apostles, but was evil inside. True divine love will feed the hungry and clothe those who n...

Re: So judgy

As Lerk noted, there is always a “but” in the Bible. It seems for every verse that offers hope and assurance, there is an offsetting verse that cast doubt and threatens condemnation. You are safe and secure in Christ by faith not works, BUT, not all that say unto him Lord, Lord, will He recognize. T...

Re: Praying for Trump?

Nancy Pelosi says she prays for him. You could give it a try! Sorry, but the image of Pelosi praying period, is difficult for me to get my mind around. That would be the equivalent of seeing Trump pray. I can’t envision such a thing from either one of them. I don’t see either one of them as God fea...

Re: Female COC preacher

What exactly counts as an "abundance of verifiable evidence" for UFOs ? Just curious where I can go verify this? Hundred and sometimes thousands of people witnessing the same UFO at the same time. Thousands of photos, videos, etc that have been validated as unedited originals. Thousands o...

Re: Female COC preacher

I’ve never had a paranormal experience, religious or otherwise. When it comes to UFO’s there is an abundance of verifiable evidence for their existence. What they are, where they originated, and their purpose remains unknown. There is also an abundance of claims by people saying they’ve been abducte...
