Yee Haw!!!

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...

You h...

And you ended up here with us??? Good for you!!

I can't see an NI church decorating for Christmas!! But who knows; I don't have many contacts within that group now. Culture sometimes eventually wins out with them.

Church of Christ buildings are not known for being architectural masterpieces to begin with, but when the revenue has halved they look downright shoddy in a hurry. There are many tiny cofc buildings in Texas that have no windows. Apparently this was a trend back during the....50s or 60s? Something ...
