Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

What the heck is Covid 19 anyway? I've heard a little about it, but not much. Interesting question. Have you thought about Googling it? I saw some people in a surgical looking mask and asked and someone said that it was probably because of this virus and I was just baffled. All because of some coro...

What the heck is Covid 19 anyway? I've heard a little about it, but not much.

Services appear to be back in full swing, across the board now at all churches. Now that there is talk of another nationwide shutdown akin to that in March 2020, things could get interesting, if they were to actually attempt such a thing again. The public on the whole won't just shut down and give u...

One thing that always got me was, someone would gush over me if I served at the Lord's table or did the scripture reading or something of that nature. Then they would say something like what an amazing example I was or some such. Internally, I was like "why....am I this amazing example? Because...

I got one :lol: One time, someone asked me after services on Sunday morning "say...umm...question for ya.....did I see you over in such and such part of town late Friday night?" I had been to a gentleman's club on the Friday night in question, but I wasn't going to fess up to anything. So ...

Yes! When I left the cOC the first time back in 1997 or so, my mom was by herself. My late father wasn't going then. He didn't start attending until 1999 and he didn't get baptized and become a member until 2000. My brother had long since quit attending. And then I got "pulled away" as the...

That is so true, Ivy. There is no telling how much grief Ms. Guinn saved individuals who have left the cOC through the years. It was always killed me that people who actually told the church that they were leaving would still end up receiving a withdrawal letter. It's like the cOC had to have the fi...

Anyone remember this case from the early 1980's? Marian Guinn sued the Collinsville Church of Christ for publicly shaming her by denouncing her for the sin of fornication. She had already met with the elders and told them that she would like to withdraw herself from the congregation. She did that so...

Remember that saying? :lol: I used to love to stir the pot by (not so) subtly mentioning it :lol: Ohh..that would send them into a Fred Phelps type diatribe :lol: They would say "God doesn't tell you to attend the church of your choice! The devil does!". Then of course came the obligatory ...

I have always scratched my head about this one. Sometimes, the cOC will say that the dead sleep until the final judgement. Sometimes they will say that we die and then we wake up in our eternal destination. But, then they say that paradise and Hades aren't the final stops. Because after that comes t...
