I felt he was badly treated by Irvine. He did a lot of the spade work and then booted.

Blokes like Irvine, the Walkers and Carrols have a lot to answer for because of the way they treated others. They set the tone and that tone remains to this day.

Some are going to leave when their parents pass away. what matters is the ones that stay the truth is gonna be with us until the end whether we like it or not... What a dumb statement. If you don't like it get out, don't waste your life "Spitting into the Wind" The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Both Cooney and John Long weren’t obsessed with the 2x2 ritual.

Irvine and Cooney also got booted. Always has been a fair amount of booting going on. I have heard that the man who has come to sort out Australia brought a pair of size 12's with him, and has been making good use of them. Of course booting is always active in dictatorships.

You are right Olea, Cooney and Long were sincere in the way they wanted to spread the Gospel as homeless preachers, the same as Christ. But then the smart ones came along and could see that could be a tough way to live. Lets have a congregation, that will provide for us, and keep us in a reasonable life style.
So whilst they flog the line,"From the Shores of Galilee" and "The Way Christ Instructed" a big change in direction took place in the early 1900's. But we never talk about our History it is nobody else's business.

Re history, I made my own A4 book to come to an understanding of the beginning days in Ireland through to workers arriving in N.Z. & onward. Something that has taken up a big part of one’s life, ....one should be entitled to research and understand it. IMO

That's YOUR judgement. its more of an observation than an opinion. redback has made his stance very clear on here if you listen to what he has to say....

I've listened to yours too. I prefer listening to him, because he expresses his view, he doesn't tell you that you are wrong and he is right. That's what the 2x2s and their supporters do. I've lived it. I know. And it doesn't impress me.

A faithfull 2x2, they are becoming extinct. They will be remembered. Just a pity they have such a narrow point of view. Our 2x2 friends are getting a bit more liberal and generous in their thinking, almost normal people.

Have you a spare hat for John Long too? i can't find a picture of John Long 🤔, and Long John gets me either a pirate or long underpants... I think you are on to something here. I believe that learning some relevant tongue twisters could be a good investment of time for those in the fellowship. Especially while there is spare time on account of the lockdown measures arising from the coronavirus. Hopefully these 'twisters' could also be of use in cementing some of the heritage and origins of the church in people's minds, as well as keeping ageing brains well and active. A couple of suggestions for starters John Long's long johns are long gone. A few too many two by two views are too-too

The so called worldly churches here have full parking lots. They involve their youth. Cookouts, hikes, sport teams etc.. They make church fun. Some areas have get togethers for the friends. In other areas, meetings are full of 70, 80 and 90 somethings. fun is nowhere to be found in the bible in regards to spiritual matters.... No, I guess the day of atonement was a real dull affair then. I'm glad the worker's really researched that one, Not!. Instead they make it a morbid worship affair instead of the massive friggen celebration it actually was and still should be. And they did this for only 1 year of sins being forgiven. I can hardly imagine their reaction if they realised it was for all for ever. Would have given a un fun 2x2 somber spiritual celebration a run for its money aye!.

Keep up the good work and the faith.Oh please, Don't all Christian's think that, You Just happen to be among the few, fancy that. What if I think Im in the few but your not? does that suit you? or would that be like, judging!. Get them God, but not us!. We've found the narrow way God so get them, we are the narrow way so get them God but not us. Really sounds the quite the opposite of the way of life to me. And the way of life isn't a road of good 2x2 works/rituals that leads to salvation after death if that's what your hoping for and think you have exclusive rights to.

He doesn’t look like he’s having much fun!😄 Ips, you’re a genius! Hats with a hole for the buns! I have always had a problem with hats because of the bun! And the buns would all have to fit into the same hole, so much more uniformity! And could keep in line with scriptures with no plaiting of the hair....just decorate the hat instead! So much FUN!
