Ladies meetings- The older women are told to teach the younger women, having the ladies get together for fellowship is great for them.
HG shoutdowns- I have no clue what that is. A move of GOD though in the assembly is very much Biblical.
We could go through each knit-picking thing, but none of these are so great matters as to how the very Church is RUN. Bishops, elders, deacons, the 5-fold ministry, are all very Biblical. General Superindentents are just as unbiblical as Popes and Cardinals, and a compendium of rules that bind or break fellowship is as unbiblical as a catechism, and the LORD detests such things.
GOD BLESS!

Alex, I have read your posts with some interest. Honestly, I believe some of your approach is a function of your age. I do love to see passion for God and the word of God in our youth though.
I have read a lot about your church's endeavor to mirror the early Apostolic church and I am just curious about how far you all go towards "having all things in common" in the financial sense or selling all and bringing the proceeds to the church.
And all those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions, and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need (Acts 2:42-45).
