Some questions ....
Anyone any idea of how widespread knowledge of the 2x2 websites/history/message boards etc is these days among those current 2x2s living in Ireland?
Is it common for young people to discuss these things? What do they think? What about the older generation? Are there people who are still unaware of the true history of the 2x2 sect? Do people still believe it to be the Only Way? Do the 2x2s still manage to persuade outsiders to join the 2x2 sect? Do less young people profess now than before?

I think the Irish friends and workers have always known that Willie Irvine put Ulster on their map!

You have only to read the New Testament and compare religions to see that the 2X2 as they are called is the only true way. They are the ones who worship in Spirit and in Truth and that is why the way is hidden and obscured from so many. It is taught by God's own Spirit. (Oh yes, parents and workers enforce unwritten rules of common decency and correctness)
It is God's Way. It is THE Way and it is the ONLY way if you really want fellowship with God and each other. It is a way of miracles in modern times.
Why so few in it? Because it costs and it costs dear. Because like Jesus said it is the way of self denial and the cross. Despised and rejected by many but precious and dear to those willing to enter in.

If you want to know go ask the workers. Straight to the horses mouth.

Willie Gill was from Ireland, near Trim in Co. Meath. He has a number of relatives still going to the meetings today in the Meath, Kildare and Limerick areas. Not all Irish know about William Irvine; there has been a fairly effective "avoidance of information" in Ireland too, even though there are some still around who would have remembered the split from Edward Cooney and it's difficult to believe that Irvine would not have been mentioned at the time. There was a thread on the main board some months back that had some comprehensive information about the early days in Ireland. I can't find it though.

So true facts only please and down to earth facts that can be verified. Thankyou.
