I'm guessing the Ducks lost...

Individual results may vary. I'm not the Holy Spirit, therefore I have no answer for you.

The following is an overly simplified version but... KJVO was going around and I was getting caught up in it but it wasn't coming from PCC. Like I said, I didn't have the discernment at the time to distinguish between solid conservative thought and the more radical stuff. I knew there...

Dissolution is permitted NOT MANDATED.

Well said. Dissolution is permitted but not mandated.

Back in 84-85, I had just begun growing in the Word and hadn't experienced many churches. I was not able to distinguish the nuances of orthodox Christianity; I knew what constituted a cult and which groups tended to be liberal but that was it. I tended to stick to groups that carried PCC's stamp...

If Coolio came out sounding like this, I'd have been a fan.

IDK... I'm laughing at this "not funny" meme.

Lucrative future royalties from his work may be affected if his reputation is tarnished.

Ever since I looked into Philip Yancey a few years ago, I sensed something was off... I don't remember specifics so I'll not elaborate. Suffice to say, none of his work appears in my library or those of anyone I know. While Huk makes a valid point about it being easier for someone who has made...

That big conspiracy? 🙄

I suppose it depends on who you ask. There is a church in town pastored by a PBI grad that definitely calls itself IFB. I've met a few of them and attended a service with them. The service was actually quite good and they were very warm. I wouldn't join them but I don't have any bones to pick...

These days, I'd say that is a definite. I don't know what PCC's take on Ruckman was 40 years ago. Although it was evident that they were almost mutually exclusive of each other, I don't recall anyone from PCC outright criticizing them. It could be that around me, a very young believer, people...

I have a hard time believing that Iran wanted to embarrass Carter by releasing the hostages the day Reagan was inaugurated. As per my previous post, the Democrats and media were trying to convince the public that Reagan was chomping at the bits to start WWIII. Iran has NEVER had any respect for...

Ditto.

I can't remember if Reagan had secured the nomination by April of 1980 but once he did, the media began painting him as a warmonger, trying to convince the public that if he won the election he'd have us in a war with the USSR before the end of his first year in office. Iran was acutely aware of...

I remember specifically in the days immediately following the failed rescue attempt, everyone being on pins and needles wondering if Iran was going to start executing the hostages in retaliation.

Remember how the debate debacle in '24 embarrassed the Biden administration? From my personal recollection, Operation Eagle Claw had similar fallout for the Carter administration.

I don't know if that rule was in effect when I was stationed there in 84-85 but it makes sense. I remember Ruckmanites out on the street corners yelling at the traffic. I remember talking with one and I almost want to say Jim Schettler was with me... He was explaining to us that the street...

I remember that day well. That was the day I knew Carter wasn't going to win in November.
