Re: Changing Church of Christ!

Yes!! Those scriptural cofc wedding "foods". They didn't vary. Did your sister have a cake? Oh, and that punch...I knew it as "Snow on the Mountain" punch. Seven-up, ginger ale, pineapple juice (I think???) and rings of ice frozen with pineapple pieces. With globs of sherbet, wha...

Re: How the CoC made it to Texas!

I must say I have not seen any C of C church in the area I live in now (southeastern Idaho). Interesting. Not a single one. I went to the Guardian of Truth Foundation (big group in the NI, very important) lectures in their first or second year. There were probably 6 or 7 hundred people there and th...

Re: Christmas at Church?

I was quite surprised to see, as I drove home from doing my Lutheran services 2 weeks ago, a CoC that I know to be non-instrumental and that I strongly suspected of being NI based on the plainness of their building had put some decorations up on the exterior. Good for them!! Those plain little buil...

Re: Christmas at Church?

Many one cuppers shun Christmas trees and even personal observance of Christmas. The cite Jeremiah 10 in the KJV as direct condemnation of what became known as a Christmas tree. Oh, no. Seems I do remember that from that couple I knew once. They really objected to Halloween as well. What if the one...

Re: Christmas at Church?

What made it all even weirder is if December 24th or December 25th fell on a Sunday or a Wednesday. You still had to show up at the church and hear the sermon, but it wasn't a Christmas Eve service at all or a Christmas Day service, either. Just the typical COC BS Oh, yes. That was their way. You h...
