    Is any one really happy here?

    I found that I could set my clock at each stage of the liturgical service when I joined an Anglican church. But when I got to know the people who went there, I found that they were just as mad as I was! When the Curate came to visit, he told my wife and me that after three weeks of...

    The Apostate Holy Laughter Movement

    I spent the first 12 years of my Christian life in Pentecostal churches. Yep I saw the wacky stuff, but when I joined it in the late 1960s these wacky manifestations were seen as part of the lunatic fringe and not part of the mainstream. I was discipled by a very strict, mature pastor in his...

    The key to counter attacks is to be assertive and not defensive. You can agree in principle with anyone without having to change your behaviour or your views. This is called "fogging" where you just agree with the person. It is hard to attack someone who agrees with you! A Christian pastor...

    Being Banned from so called Christian Foruns

    I just got warned at ChristianForums for defending Franklin Graham against Muslim sympathising mayors in the U.K. who want to ban him going there and preaching the gospel of Christ. I posted a warning about the influence of Islam in the U.K. and that it will be not if but when Sharia Law will...
