I ran into an old reformer today in Walmart. She came up to me. She was clearly uncomfortable. Why she came up to me I'll never know. Actually, she was always uncomfortable so I guess it is likely par for the course for her.
Anyway, I was like HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (very UN-reformer who are normally or at least in this last group, very sedate)
I know I took her aback but I didn't care. I always liked this woman. Even if she was the most repressed woman I ever met. Lol
We chatted for a second and I mentioned that Jeff and I had emailed her husband on a business question (potential business for him) but hadn't heard back.
She got a bit flustered and went on and on saying he was not in the habit of not returning calls which was TOTALLY not what I meant.
I mean, I think she thought I was calling him down on it instead of just making conversation but once you get a reformer on the apology train, forget it. Lol
No seriously, I just was totally open with her and she could not take it. It is confusing to me and one reason why we left our old church. Does the phrase stick up the b**t mean anything to you?????
SHEESH! So of course, I had to paint it red and when she somewhat accusingly asked where I went to church (me reading it as her assuming I was now on Hell row, shooting heroin or WORSE in a NON-DENOMINATIONAL church) I answered her.
CCOTL says I. Their teaching is more on our level and that we were likely considered the conservatives ones there. Ha Ha and all that. (since I assumed we must have been considered liberal there, especially after we LEFT)
Anyway, just thought it was funny!

ya reckon we could have stayed up discussing this for hours more?! When talking to someone I know who is even just died in the wool Baptist, I find myself feeling I have to explain why I love attending CCVB so much! d-o-c-t-r-i-n-e
Crazy reformers ;)
I'm so glad you are a CCOTLite. I have had some of my own issues with stuff like this lately. I just read a great book! I'll tell you about it sometime.
You are too much. I am so glad you are back!
What are reformers reforming?
Wow, that's a great question Crys!
They are reforming THEMSELVES as al Christians are...
Really, all Christians are continually "reforming".
