Along the side of the chart were figures from the New Testament and along the top were the 5 steps and the scriptures they cite for them. Within the chart was check marks denoting which steps the figures of acts did to be saved. None of them did all 5. Seems reasonable that Saint Peter will be stat...

My comment about "moving away from a controlling family or church" wasn't worded very well; I knew you lived a good distance from your family. Actually I was referring to moving away from the the clutches of this cultish group - wherever it raises its ugly head - and moving away from being...

The legalism and patternistic law is proving to be very difficult for me to overcome. From a young age you have been programmed - like most of us on this forum - to believe everything the CoC has thrown at you. Your most trusted family and friends have contributed - not always with bad intentions -...

For those of you who have left coc, do you still have lingering doubts of "what if they are right"? If so, how do you deal with it, and especially for those with children, how do you deal with the feeling that you are setting your children up for hell if you are not teaching them "th...

Sorry your experiencing so much flack from those that should be supporting you. Members in these churches are brainwashed, out-of-touch, and occasionally robotic zombies ... they often mean well, but they're taught to parrot the party line regardless of the consequences. Hardline CoC tribes insist o...

This notion that autonomy means never having to say anything wrong about another place reminds me of this "safe space" thinking that is currently in fashion. Now I do not see the point in spending a lot of time telling the Baptist/RCC how wrong they are from the pulpit of a CofC, but poin...
