Re: My story of leaving the coC
I remember a church in Oklahoma being taken to court by a former member. Someone familiar with the case told me they had posted a notice of withdrawal from her in a public place (like a grocery store bulletin board or some such). Ah! It's the Collinsville, OK, Church of Christ. This 1984 article in...
