I think the way people make up their minds to leave a congregation is most often a progression of issues that finally inform the member that he/she is in the wrong congregation. Perhaps if it were only one doctrinal issue, someone might request a meeting with the pastor or other church leader...

It's really interesting how these threads can morph into all sorts of discussions. This one, in which I wondered aloud how I could have gotten on a mailing list after having been gone for so long... :)

Sherry, she has told how she worked as nurses' aid in NC while living there. Nurse's aids do not earn a lot. She has spoken of how she was nearly destitute in those days. I would think if Beverly had $ to share with Cindy, she should/would have. Cindy and her husband now live a very modest life...

So much has happened since Raider first posted this. I thought I might make a feeble response. Jack Hyles told one of my very best friends about eight years before he died that he was leaving Mrs. Hyles ten million dollars. My friend and I now believe that was a lie. Twenty-five years after his...

I think so and frankly, I think the independent Baptists (as many of us knew them fifty years ago) are dying on the vine. They will probably never COMPLETELY die off, but much like other Baptist sects (e.g., primitive Baptists) they will become something of an anomaly to most. There is nothing...

Likely the most consequential figure ever from among the independent Baptists.

That is a distinct possibility! Which raises a question of whether that school has ever disassociated itself from anyone that it conferred a past academic (or honorary) award? I can think of some candidates!

I reckon. But after subsequent moves, it's still rather remarkable to me.

Maybe it's like someone being a fan of a certain sports team, in which they never played for, never had a relative play for, never earned a dollar from, and yet, they wear the team's clothes and put their logos on all sorts of personal items for the rest of their lives. Maybe it's sad that...

Dude, I graduated from HAC in 1981. I've been accused of a lot since then and some of it was even true. But I haven't been accused of being youthful in a very long time!!

On Saturday I checked my mailbox and found the attached promotional flyer. According to Google, my mailbox is situated 640 miles from Hyles Anderson College, where I graduated in 1981. I have only visited the campus one time since then, 25 years ago. I have had no communication with anyone from...

Terry Smith is dead. The only reason I know this is that his younger brother, Tim, who was married to the oldest Hyles child (Becky) died a couple of weeks ago. I read it in the obituary. https://www.wattsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/timothy-smith

I've never heard of Jim Ross, but I do recall Bob Ross from early HAC years. Are they related?

I remember my first day as a Hyles Anderson College student. I drove myself from Alabama to enroll on the Tuesday after Labor Day in 1976. I was excited. It was my first foray into a world that would not include my parents and the home in which I had been raised. I would never return to that...

Thank you for this information.

I believe this pic to be true and accurate and yes, it appears that the rule allows for something like pants, spanx, tights, etc., to be worn, so long as that skirt is on top of it. It looks awkward to me, but whatever gets them through the day...

Joe Franklin “Frank” Carter Jr., 67, of Kennewick, Washington, died Jan. 1 in Richland. He was born in Van Buren, Mo., and lived in the Tri-Cities for 43 years. He was the pastor of Clearwater Baptist Church. I remember him from the late seventies at HAC. He worked with McSpadden and Scott in...

Since the person died, can we know her/his name?

There are 19 other pics on their FB page that were taken yesterday. None of them lead me to believe that "the rule" has been changed.
