Just started reading here and there seems a huge variation in messages, little uniformity.
What is the message that ex 2x2s have for current members (I'm a 2x2)?
Its not the history question, that seems clear from the postings - I don't know anyone who has been told this "from the beginning" lies, but apparently it happens in USA in many parts?
But what are you trying to say?

"Little uniformity" is probably the answer.
You sound like a Worker.
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" as the 4/11 song goes!

But what are you trying to say? The history was a secret until a few years ago and still is to most in the USA. Many won't even read what is on the Internet because they want to obey the workers, not caring for their own souls. My message to the 2x2s. Search the scriptures for yourself and you will find out that God is love and loves everyone here on this earth, not just a small group of people here and there who cllaim to be following Him in the only way there is to get to Heaven. No church, no man will get you to Heaven. You should be enjoying your life to the fullest and enjoying Christ for all He has done for you, not what the workers have done, or are doing. You only have one life and God wants it to be fulfilled with love, joy and happiness. You 2x2s are really missing out on all of this.

"You are a liar and a troll"
Nice comment - thanks
To "loving God to the fullest": Thanks for your answer. I don't actually feel that I'm missing out on that. I'm glad that we have these objectives in common.

Dear New Here,
I'm an "x" and have been on the Boards for quite a number of years. My "mission" has actually changed a couple of times over the years, and I'm sure that my "buds" here are also in various stages of their own "mission".
I'm currently here marking a place, interested in what my friends here (both in and out) have to say about things, and ready when another dear person needs support after they realize they no longer can continue in the F & W and begin their journey out of the F & W church. For many it is a very, very difficult time in their lives. A very difficult time was where I found myself when I first came here, as well, and I truly appreciated the helping hand from those who had gone before me!
It truly surprises me that you have used the term "lies" for the beginning of the F & W, if you are actually a 2 x 2. Further, for you to use the 2 x 2 to describe yourself is unusual since most F & W find it objectionable.
Best regards, Edy

Sylvestra Thanks for your comments too. I don't find the term 2x2 objectionable. It seems the most common term used here, and its easy to type Yes I use the word "lies". This notion that our fellowship goes back to the year dot is either misguided misinformation, or lies. Its certainly lies for those that know one thing and say another, and I have had correspondence by email with some in other countries that have told me of this happening that they are told this by various ones. I dont know all that many folks, but among that limited circle, I don't know anyone that follows that "always been" story. My first exposure to it was by email, now I read on here that many have been told this. I'm glad I never was, but its doesn't fix the problem for those that were.

So what were you told, or what do/did you believe about when the 2x2 church began? How, when and where and by whom it began??

Dear New Here, Yes, it was quite shocking for many when they first hear about the true beginnings of the F & W after being told from the platform and in meetings all their lives that the church goes back to the "shores of Galilee" and right back to Jesus and his "pattern" in Matt. 10. It's kind of like having the proverbial rug pulled out from under one, and hitting the floor HARD on the back of the first! LOL! Welcome to TMB. I hope you'll pull up a chair and stay a while longer Best, in Him, Edy
