Re: Disfellowship stories/issues?

I didn't get disfellowshipped. It's not fair that I didn't get the joy of having to go through that. :x 8-) I could write a really good one for you…but you’d have to help me remember all the cherry picked scriptures. 🤣 BH I never got one either…due to being on the move I guess. I think the “formal ...

Re: 9/11 and religious conversions/recommittments

I don't remember much about any conversions back then. Such a weird, horrifying time.

Re: Original Version of Bible?

From what I remember, cofc people would worry about the issue of Catholic monks doing the translating.
We were assured that God would have guided the monks in the translations so they wouldn't get it wrong.
There was therefore nothing to worry about.

Re: Banquet Chicken,beef, and turkey pot pies

Re: Closed communion?

As I recall my childhood and earlier adult memories of cofc...communion was always "open". But that didn't mean you wouldn't get a side eye from Sister So-and-so if they knew you were sinning and/or not a true cofc member. Since they didn't believe in transubstantiation, I guess they figur...
