chefranden Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I kinda like the ideas of called out and peculiar people. Those of us that are called out of the herd to actually think are already considered peculiar, at least in the States. We could be "The Church of the Extraordinary". Following the restoration idea of the Church of Christ: "The Church of the Restored Mind". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duderonomy Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 'Windows of Heaven Tithing Community Church'. Antlerman, my vote for the best. We might not agree on other threads, but you hit the nail on the head here. Mine; Church of the Happy Clappy The Fundamental Church of My Way or the Highway (to Hell) The Universal Church of the Completely Depraved, and Saved Anyway; Reformed.

Vigile Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Church of the Spilled Blood It's here in St Pete, Considering how much blood the damn church has spilled, I'd say this name qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 You know pug may be on to something. I think it'd be beneficial to have a place we could go to and hear a good speaker. They could say, this is what you were taught, but this is how someone from an ex-C point of view see it. Kind of like all the questions you asked, that you didn't get anwers too. I can think of a number of folks on this board that I wouldn't mind listening too for a couple hours. This would most definately include this theads author. A real life gathering place would be cool, even if we just went to a coffee shop and talked or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any seconds to the motion? (I'm sure we could rent a chuch or something and give little Ex-C sermonettes. Anyone play a mean church organ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, we are not particularily "faithful" to it, but we try to go once a month to their dinner-and-movie outtings. It is fun to just sit and chat with other atheists and agnostics over dinner. When I first did it felt surreal. Their picnics in the summer are lots of fun though; lots of food, drink, and live music. Lot of people go to those.

Are they political, or just a club of sorts of like minded thinkers? It doesn't feel too "church-like" does it? PM me some of the details of when they meet and what its about. I like to check it out probably. Maybe somehow we could host some ExC related thing through that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-COG Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Drive-Thru Church of Delivery Window#1: money taken Window#2: prayer requests taken Window#3: message delivered (may or may not apply to request per guidence of the Holy Spirit. Management not responsible for unanswered prayer; contact Father Jehovah or Jesus Christ directly for complaints connected to delivery. Wasn't there a Happy Church in Colorado? I think it might have been started by Marilyn Hickey, but I'm not sure. Happy Church...I wonder what they put in the communion wine and bread?

For some odd reason the Third never got off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
