In a parallel universe William Irvine invented his own religion, wrote his own holy book and canonized as saint his own Workers. Some former members of the Irvinists got on the TMB to share grievances. "All they do is talk about 1897!" "Irvine this, Irvine that..." "Why do we have to listen to Workers talk about themselves?" "I didn't know Jesus' followers were called Irvinists!" and "Yes, if they were the real Truth they wouldn't talk about Irvine, or the Workers. They would only talk about Jesus!" Whilst this is meant to be humour (I think), it is just arrant nonsense and gobbledegook. Usually, the truth is pretty simple and once you tell it a few times it doesn't hurt at all. In telling it would go like this: In the very late 1800's several men became disenchanted with established religion and felt the need to be more like the early Christian church. A man called William Irvine became their leader and they built upon many principles they perceived in the New Testament. They were also influenced by their own previous spiritual experiences. The group they founded persists today and is sometimes known as Christian Conventions, The Truth or the 2x2's. There you go, historically correct and nothing to be ashamed of. The shame arises when leaders try to imply that the group is from the beginning. Thanks, Fred.

And here's the humor: some respondents clearly can't see what I am getting at. For it's not whether there's "history" or not, it's that people will come at you one way, and if that doesn't work, they'll come at you another - totally contradictory way. Jesus said that about his own critics, didn't he?

Maybe you could put it in clearer terms, Bert, for those of us who are too dense to get your humor.
Just how, in simple words, -how are any of us coming at you in any contradictory way?
Please explain in simple words so that we can understand.
Do you accept or not accept as a fact that this church ("fellowship") known here on TMB as the 2x2's started by a few people in Ireland at the end of the the 1800's ?
No need to ramble, -just a simple "Yes" or "NO."

Would a worker wear this dress, or is the wrong color?

Do tatoo artists have to pass a literasy test? I'm sometimes shocked at how high one can go without a literacy test. You shouldn't be shocked, all kinds of people fly in aircrafts these days and some fly at a height of 38000- 39000 feet or more. Don't know how many of those have literacy tests.

Don't know how many of those have literacy tests. I used to annoy my students. One day one of them asked me: Do you ever get high? Of course. (tee hee) Where do you go to get high? Mount Charleston (near here) Mount Charleston? Yes What do you get up there to make you high? Nothing. Then how do you get high? By going there. That doesn't make any sense. I know. I really get much higher when I go up in an airplane.

One of it's legs is much the same and the higher it flies, the much. Go rest high........ Cheers, Alvin

I saw a T-shirt once that said: Jesus is coming -- look busy.
