Well, I can't say that for sure, but maybe.

I would call you a Christian.  I'm not sure if this is in the scope of this forum, but since you're saved--you're a Christian.  Since I've left WHBC, I'm less worried about denominational distinction and have doubled down on being a Christian.  I believe that denominations, to an extent, divide...

@JustABigKid I completely agree with everything you said.  I've been gone well over a decade now, and it took me up until a couple of years ago to start seeing the brighter side.  Other than the feeling of freedom I felt when I left, I also learned how to set boundaries for people, both in...

I'm sure you mean Alvin Martinez, which is an obvious troll.  I don't know you, friend, but I wish that you wouldn't compare me to that. Imrickblaine

This is usually the time of night, that my mind goes restless.  Tonight, I thought it would be fun to reminisce.  Not about all the bad things that happened in my time around WHBC (not that I'm looking through rose colored glasses), but back to a time when everything seemed simpler.  It is funny...

Very sad--but if not for the grace of God, there go I.  It's hard to see old schoolmates this way, but I hope that this will help him turn things around and get on the right track.  This isn't something that will go away with a simple re-dedication, but I'm pulling for him to rehabilitate.

In my experience, I would say both as well.

Looks like there was a home invasion at tom's house--ended in the intruder being fatally wounded.

I still can't listen to "Does Jesus Care" or "There is a river" without thinking of how many services they ended...

You would think that the inspiration for the Rambo movies could at least remember someone's first name, haha.

He will have to save his broken down empire and legacy first. . .

Reminds me of an older Jim Gaffigan bit--"If you're eating steak, you're probably celebrating something special; if you're eating bologna you might be special." :)

Here, here.  Happy Independence Day everyone!

Anyone remember when JAV mockingly called the movie titanic, 'satanic'?

Ah, I knew that I had seen it before but didn't remember where exactly.  As long as I didn't get hit with a 'Joan of arc' or 'outside the halo', I thought I would be good haha

Yes, I've been ousted--Rick Blaine is a moniker and has nothing to do with my name but Casablanca was one of my grandfather's favorite movies.  I'm not sure who Stan Enloe is, but hopefully that is a good thing. :)

I was in the same boat.  I don't know if fortunate would be the term, but I had a number of friends that left and heard so many things said about them and hearing the stories of what would happen to them if they left the flock, then something happened--they were happy.  They would tell me about...

Good point, just me.  I remember that there was a time that I thought JAV was a combination of all the modern action heroes--unstoppable.  What I saw from a sermon video posted recently was a frail shell of a man who was trying to deliver a message with the same barks and mannerisms of before...

I'm glad for that.  I can't venture a guess as to why people remain there, but it looks like the castle is crumbling down.  I would have rather seen Jim Vineyard at the helm for it, but Tom will do. :)

Oh, no, that predates me by a little over a decade.  I was there in the mid 90s, so it's not your memory. :) I can't say that I have a great deal of fond memories from my days there, although there were some.  There were a lot of people there that were extremely sincere and great people, I hope...
