Nate, It's curious as to why you are so doggedly persuing Junia's answer to this question. Do you realize the implications of the answer? If he were to answer "Yes", which would not suprise me at all, what would that mean? It would only serve to amplify the closed minded, exclusivist attitude of your system. In other words, most "worldly" churches welcome all believers to share communion. The 2x2s do not. I was an elder for 15 years and even though it was made clear to me that part of my responsiblity was to withhold the emblems from "outsiders", I never did. Even then the attitude of the meeting was never one of fellowship with "outsiders", it was more like - well we don't want to offend them and I suppose no harm is done - so, oh well IMO, this is a shameful aspect of the F&Ws fellowship. So my question to you is - what do you think his answer will accomplish for you?

Nice try Nate. Starting a new thread doesn't relieve you of your obligation of answering my question. I will gladly answer yours AFTER you answer mine.

More pure BS from nate. You didn't offer a single word of response to the question that was asked. If you think you answered the question that was asked, then go ahead and use the quote feature of this forum and show it to us, because this isn't an answer to the question that was asked: Here is my answer: I can't find your quotes or posts right now. I realize that you can't see a brick wall for the mortar, but your own words convict you. I did answered your question but you're avoiding to answer mine.

I did answered your question but you're avoiding to answer mine. You replied to Junia's post, Nathan9, but you did not answer the question. But then you know that, don't you. ;D

I did answered your question but you're avoiding to answer mine. I'm sorry Nathan but it's time to call a spade a spade. You obviously have no grasp of honesty. You did NOT answer my question. Why are you being so dishonest? It's not funny. I pity you.

Here is my answer: I am just curious.
First of all, if that is your sole reason for this line of questioning - you don't deserve an answer. Junia owes you nothing.
So, have you found a church of your choice since you left the 2x2 to Nate? I hope you'll answer my question. Thanks.
Since I'm not looking, the answer is obviously no. I'm am engaged in some terrific Bible study and wonderful fellowship, however.

I am SHOCKED by this thread!
SHOCKED I TELL YOU!
Nathan not answering questions?
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?
Look... For those of you who are NEW here or something... Nathan reserves the right NOT to answer any question from anyone for whatever reason, while at the same time he may ask ask any question of anyone on any topic and expect an answer.
Should we not all join hands and respect Nathan for reserving this right?

Who is the founder of your group?
No founder. No need. The only decision made so far was about treats - and we just kinda voted.
when it began?
To quote Karen Carpenter: We've only just begun, To live......... A kiss for luck and we're on our way

talking about dishonesty.... I feel sorry for you too. If you partake the emblems in different churches while you're claiming as a 2x2s Sunday morning and Gospel meetings goer then say... "Yes, I do take the emblems in other churches and that's my choice." Nathan, I don't (I'm not?) (in your words) "claiming as a 2x2s Sunday morning and Gospel meetings goer". I'm a Christian. In fact, I haven't even answered your question yet. You assumed. How does this make me dishonest?

Can we find your group on the Internet so we can read what they believe, doctrine, etc...
OK, Nate, I'm going to make this easier. We're just a few friends getting together to study the Bible.

What do you mean by a few friends? you mean a few former 2x2s friends are getting together to study the Bible on their own.
I think the proper word would "eclectic". We have a diversity of backgrounds. We're all just looking for common ground in scripture.

Thanks... What do you mean by a few friends? you mean a few former 2x2s friends are getting together to study the Bible on their own. Nate... two points for you.... 1) You are exhibiting the most ungodly spirit that I have ever seen from someone that is suppose to be a meeting goer. 2) You say "getting together to study the Bible on their own"... That is exactly what ALL 2x2's do isn't it? Study the bible on their own? Is that to say that in your mind that only the 2x2's can study the bible and get something from it or understand it? What a warped way to think!!! BTW, I don't expect or want an answer to the question because I think it would be BS like everything else you say.
