I wouldn't want to be independent - no way. I like being part of an organized group.

I am not speaking about being independent of any fellowship, but one can be too organizationally minded. The Body of Christ is not an organization, but an organism. That was my point. I know you are not like this, but I've spoken to some people who equate their organization as the Body of Christ.

Right.

I think some people don't know any different. They've been told "this is the truth" and they know the group they're connected with is preaching that truth and they don't know that there's anything else "out there". I'm talking saints here not pastors. Hopefully pastors wouldn't think that way.

Amen. I know some pastors, though, who have said they know the body of Christ is not their organization, but in other ways give you the opposite impression. Also, the impression the saints have can mistakenly be caused by some of the ways pastors present a fellowship. We should not mention our fellowship more than Jesus Christ! I've actually heard that done, though.

Now we have them running scared. Had another church once but they all hauled off and moved to Texas wearing cowboy hats and boots. Flying confederate flags.

They must have run off to join forces with the McKillop-ites who packed up and all left PEI for Texas.
