Re: Oreck vacuum review
I had to buy a vacuum based on weight, not on effectiveness. Upright vacuums really hurt my back. I found a very light canister vacuum, and I only need to lift the hose. My dear hubby does the heavy-duty work with an upright Dyson.

Re: Need Advice
I am not familiar with the congregations you recently attended.Are the Mission Point (San Antonio) and the San Diego COC actually part of the ICOC, despite their names? If you have been in the ICOC all this time, I expect you will be contacted and encouraged to return. SOME regular COCs likewise har...

Re: http://findthechurch.com

The South Austin COC is now meeting in a hotel meeting room. Their old building, which they moved into shortl...

Re: Ridiculous reasons for splits....
The Catholic and Baptist are Adidas and Nike. The Church of Christ is Walmart brand. :lol: If you lurk in C of C groups online, all they talk about is how they can stop dying, and how they can attract new members without sacrificing scriptural correctness. It's so futile, it reminds me of Nora Desm...

Re: Shrinking Presbyterian

Re: The Methodists
The denomination is experiencing a major division. The stated reason is whether gays and lesbians can be married in the church, by Methodist pastors. However, underlying themes are MONEY and POLITICS. Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and one branch of Lutherans (ELCA) had similar splits in past years. ...
