Hi. Just recently joined and it has taken back to my past. Here is a short history and if anyone knows about some of the events it would be neat to hear.
In the middle to late 1950's my dad preached at the Broadway coc in Lubbock tx. I found on the Internet a talk he gave at abilene Christian college on'cottage meetings'. From there we moved to the Portland Oregon area. When I was about 7th or 8th grade my dad got the calling to go Twain and spread the word. I attended high school at Columbia Christian in Portland. I went for 4 years and gaduated from pmthere. My dad was in twain for those 4 yrs coming home once for a short time and then went back. Now with just mom and me church was not a high priority. I sincerely tried to attend up into my 20's but did never return for any length of time. The website has stirred many memories that I thought I was the only one who felt the guilt and fear of going the hell and really couldn't do anything about it. thank you for the opportunity to share a common life.

I'm a "new guy" here as well, I bid you welcome. It is not just "us few" who left. There is even a page on Wikipedia devoted to Ex C of C...must be a growing phenomena. These good folks on this board won't tell you that you are going to hell... a few like me may feel they left it.
