It will still continue to serve it's purposes, just with less control. JMHO
I wish that were true, however I think there are a lot of people that are in the younger generation that believe just as the elders do. There's a few in every church. The only way change will come is just like it is....churches popping up that are oneness/Acts 2:38 with no standards, ect....

Seriously, I'll clarify what you're saying first from now on........
LOL!!! That's been the whole problem all along! You tell her what she is really saying and she says you are reading things into it!

Nice trick, but I caught it - later!

Lol, semantics, semantics........

Maybe I should have said, "I'll ask for clarification from you before I jump to any conclusions", lol.

My Way - Frank Sinatra

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
