A Former Member's Critical Perspectives on the International Churches of Christ

"The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him." (Proverbs 18:17)

Introduction
Where I state my purpose and talk briefly about the history of the ICoC. I also provide a link here to a fairly comprehensive history of this controversial religious group.

Ball and
and Chain


My own story of entry into and eventual exit from the ICoC.

Random
Access
Memories

Some of my specific memories and observations about the ICoC mentality.



Wag
the Dog

My experiences, observations, and random thoughts about information control in the ICoC.

Close
Encounters

Never-been-ICoC-members who feel their encounters with the ICoC gave them some clear and telling insight into the ICoC's dysfunctional dynamics have shared their experiences here. You can share your experience on this forum, too (visit this link for more information).

Speak the Language
A fairly exhaustive vocabulary of "loaded language" which is typically used by ICoC members. The vocabulary is copyright 1997 by Shalon Goldsby, who's also a former ICoC member. If you skip this, I will have to "seriously question your heart." :-P

Weird
Thoughts

Is it just a "weird thought," or is it a sin? Pretend you're the discipler and you decide! These questions range from tongue-in-cheek to dead-serious.

Avenues
of Healing

You've seen the Light and you told 'em to EAT YOUR DUST... what now??? Time to pay attention to your own soul and your own healing for a while, instead of worrying about other peoples' "sins." Here's where you'll find information about mailing lists, discussion groups, and books that may be helpful on your recovery journey.

Webring
Info and
Sign-Up

Got a website? If you're a former ICoC member, WE WANT YOU - your site, that is - to be a part of this webring! You need not have any ICoC-related content on your site to place it in the former members' webring - all you need is a willingness to take five minutes or less to cut and paste my webring banner onto your website.

Just My
Opinion

What do *I* think the Bible says about different subjects? This is an area I have avoided for some time, but since this site seems to be "a voice crying out in the wilderness," I will give it a shot. My first subject is "BITTERNESS" and there are more to come.

Always
and
Forever

My life today, and where I'm going.




Conclusions
Where I sum up my opinions about ICoC teachings and practices.
