Are They Creating "House Churches"?
by metatron inso, we hear rumors about changes in disfellowshipping - perhaps watering it down ------ together with rumors about making the sunday meeting a totally public meeting i.e.
moving the wt study elsewhere.. could they be trying to create early christian "house" churches?
it has been argued that 1st century christians may have distinguished between a public meeting in which all would attend - and a "house" church in which the disfellowshipped would be banned.. i know they dumped the book study at private homes but wonder if some informal ( they don't get sued) arrangement will be created out of family night.

Just one more sickening quote on Garrido -
by JWoods inquote from a local paper.."people who knew garrido said he became increasingly fanatic about his religious beliefs in recent years, sometimes breaking out into song and claiming that god spoke to him through a box.".
be wary of any religious fanatic of any religion, unfortunately i live near where this idiot is being held and every time he shows up for court there is a local media frenzy, i blame the media for perpetuating this, and one would think the religious groups he affiliated himself with, would say something about him, but the voice is mute......
