50% raised here

I went to school in LA

[AGAPE]

5%
47%
52%

the middle figure is not a good one b/c this includes the pastors family, some people who moved from other states, and some people who came from a very liberal independent church that disbanded.

Seriously Agape...you are a known conservative, how has this new group from the liberal church acclimated? When you say liberal...makeup, pants on the females, noserings, and baptism by sprinkling? Or, they have seen an episode of Gunsmoke and take vacations to Disneyland?

I find it intersesting that the two groups merged and hope all is well in the church!!!!

well first the liberal church was a small church....it has recently been restarted. we got the "cons" from the church....
all of the married ones wore wedding bands
all the ladies wore short skirts
guys and girls wore short sleeves, etc...



this has been better than 10 years ago...
2 didn't last a month

the others lined up right away except for one lady who stil wore her slits, short sleeves and wedding band.

2 of them got married and moved away.
2 of them left and went to a liberal church
2 got jobs that took them out of state

2 stayed.
the lady that was the exception at first has became one of the better saints in the church....*btw she finally lined up and testifies to this day that we were never rude to her about her wedding band we just preached against it with a good spirit


Was there anyproblems??? Yes, we lost a few "holier than thous" b/c we allowed these "libs" to come to our place, but now the "libs" are cons and the "holier than thous" are backslid! go figure???
