Re: Forced Compliance Behaviour
Re: Forced Compliance Behaviour Post by Gillie » Tue Jun 06, 2017 2:38 pm When I was prevented from attending church and my discipline was home detention, most people adhered to the elders instructions and shunned me. Only one person came to visit me at that time and I cannot tell you how important...

Re: Covenant Family
Bagel, yes, "amen" (which is Hebrew or perhaps Aramaic) for "So Be It". One of the things I've found is that as we delve into what Gilbert and Sullivan (in Sullivan's music) created - "Never Mind the Why and Wherefore... Love can level ranks, and therefore..." we feel m...

Re: Covenant Family
After hearing the pentecost and charismatic philosophies solidly since January 1987, I'm still trying to work through what is valid and what isn't, Paul. The bit in Acts where Philip teaches the African eunuch reading Isaiah's scroll while sitting in his ute (euphemism for his two-wheel chariot lol!...
