Now we have mission programs independent of any organization to support missionaries. I have more conferences-campmeetings-anniversaries than I can afford to go to. So I have decided not to pay for fellowship.
The basis of fellowship with myself have always been:
1. doctrine
2. life
3. ethics
NEVER a card.
I wish them the best.

Recent events within a much larger Oneness denomination have proven that what you say is true. The day of fellowshipping around a card is pretty much over.
Doctrine, life, and ethics - Makes more sense than - Dues, daddy, and politics.
