The song leader who really cared about having the pitch right would pull it out of his pocket and, as quietly as possible, blow one note at about the volume of a whisper, then pretend he didn't do it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I ha...

Never been there, but there was one I remember attending a few times. I can't recall the name right now but it was in Ohio. Was it Fort Hill out in the middle of nowhere a couple hours east of Cincinnati? That's the only one I can recall in Ohio; never went there as a kid but went to an adult singl...

Thank you It does seem quite strange with having many years away from it; but knowing how my father operated it makes total sense.

I won't post the link to the story, but search it for yourself. A coc in Murray KY held an abbreviated service last Sunday and had a visitor that was diagnosed this week, having exposed around 150 people to it. Why does this not surprise me that it happened in a coc?

I left in the midst of the last one and a part of me wishes to this day that I just stood up and called them all hypocrites and left wi...

By the time you were 13 and the church relocated, did you feel like you would be lost if you didn't go? Did none of the good brethren there offer to pick you up so,you didn't have to walk? Sorry its taken me a while to respond, been busy. The church relocated when I was 9, Dad drove me until I was ...

How I ended up in the coc is kind of odd I guess. The building was just three buildings away from my street as a child. I could see the back lot of the building from my front yard. I was 6 going on 7 at the time, and playing alone outside when I noticed the cars parking and wandered through two back...

Had it happen to me at the funeral of a woman who had been my first sunday school teacher. I'd left about the same time she had become a "shut in" because of her health. I was still visiting her and exchanging letters up until a few weeks before she died because things had gone really bad ...
