Has anyone heard of the church with no name or 2x2 or 2 x 2 it has no headquarters are official buildings they do their services at peoples homes they do not publish meetings. They have yearly meetings called special meetings what your hair done private property or they rent halls they have a hierarchy. The top is called overseers The next level down is called ministers and friends are the day-to-day members ministers live in different members houses and move every few months The FBI is investigating them for sexual abuse The news says they’ve been around since the late 1800s it sounds really strange and cultty

I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have to wonder why you picked that user name.

They sound like an odd group. They have a few things in common with Mormonism, i.e. they are non-Trinitarian, see themselves as restorationist, send their ministers out in pairs, practice baptism by immersion, have experienced schisms, etc. And not least of all, there has been sexual abuse of minors.

I have not heard of them, however, if prodded with a flaming sword, I will say that I have.

If you check the archives you'll find we discussed them a few years back.

Did we settle their hash?



Because if we didn't, I'm not all that busy today...

My aunt and uncle have been deeply involved with this group for decades. It is very culty and secretive.

"it sounds really strange and cultty"

You make it sound like there are religions that aren't strange and culty.
