OT to Anyone: Has anybody on this thread experienced any Y2K problems? All I'm hearing is how great things are going and personally I haven't had even a minor disruption. Be honest! How many of you thought this was the "beginning of the end". I admit, I thought it might begin generating something, but I've learned not to jump on every bandwagon. Our hope is in Christ. Unfortunately, some getting excited ,thinking about what might usher in His Second Coming lose their ability to discern. Even though Y2K "alarmism" wasn't ALL christian oriented, many christian leaders fueled the fire. So once again who do you think will get the brunt of criticism? Let's not get side-tracked as we enter the New Millennium. And let's not jump on every "new" thing that appears to be a world changing event. The Good News is still the same. The bad news has never changed. If we stick with proclaiming the name of Jesus and live The Life to the best that we can, our testimonies will speak for themselves.

How Old Is Your Church? If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517. If you belong to the Church of England, your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the Pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to re-marry. If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560. If you are a Protestant Episcopalian, your religion was an offshoot of the Church of England founded by Samuel Seabury in the American colonies in the 17th century. If you are a Congregationalist, your religion was originated by by Robert Brown in Holland in 1582. If you are a Methodist, your religion was launched by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744. If you are a Unitarian, Theophilus Lindley founded your church in London in 1774. If you are a Mormon, Joseph Smith started your religion in Palmyra, NY in 1829. If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1605. If you are of the Dutch Reformed church, you recognize Michaelis Jones as founder, because he originated your religion in New York in 1628. If you worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865. If you are a Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy as its founder. If you belong to one of the religious organizations known as "Church of the Nazarene," "Pentecostal Gospel," "Holiness Church," "Pilgrim Holiness Church," "Jehovah's Witnesses," your religion is one of the hundreds of new sects founded by men within the past fifty years. If you are a Roman Catholic, you know that your religion was founded in the year 33 by Jesus Christ the Son of God, and it is still the same Church.
