Is this a thread about colonoscopies?

I was assuming BLM or Antifa, though that largely amounts to the same thing.

Yes.

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 that anyone can say to me that would convince me that the sect of Baptists led by John Rice, Jack Hyles, Lee Roberson, Tom Malone, Curtis Hutson, etc., in the 1970's, has not suffered a steep decline in the past half century. Many of those churches that were independent returned to the SBC, i.e., Thomas Road Baptist. Many are defunct, i.e., Highland Park (Chattanooga), Emmanuel (Pontiac, MI) and Forest Hills (Atlanta).

a few of my friends - who are totally anti-hunting - like to accuse all of us who hunt
of going into the woods and just shooting anything that moves..... ..so i guess you
could say they believe for the poor hapless animals of the forest - anytime we are
out there with them - movement = death..... .... ...

sorry.... . but it reminded me of this cartoon....

Jerry regularly said that the IFB movement left him long before he left them. Meaning their extra biblical standards and their collective attitude towards others who didn’t follow said standards.
