Actually, the CofE was founded by Henry VIII, tweaked by Edward VI & Thomas Cranmer (Archbishop of Caterbury), banned by Mary I who re-established the Roman church (complete with the Inquisition) and the CofE was re-established by Elizabeth.

No 8) Sorry, the sticks are Israel & Judah in fact the footnote for Ezekiel 37:22 in my 1979 TSCC Bible says "The tribes led by Judah and by Ephraim were historically adversaries (after events of 1 Kgs 12:16-20). In the latter days this enmity will be healed" It's classic Morg proof-texting. If you read the WHOLE chapter it's all about God making the tribes ...no more two n

Plus, there is plenty of evidence of the existence of the New Testament dating back to the third century in the Middle East. We may debate on this board about Jesus' existence, but nobody ever tries arguing that any part of the Bible was invented by some medieval monk. Why? because there's enough evidence to convince even Dawkins that fact or fiction, OT & NT are at least 1700 yrs old

If you think British courts wouldn't prosecute an old man because he's famous, you should google Rolf Harris, Dave Lee Travis, William Roach & Max Clifford. They are all tons more famous than Tommy is in Britain. Remember "A Man for all Seasons"? - 'However high you are the law is above you'

Gift Aid has been mentioned on these boards before. If you're a tax-payer in the UK and you donate to charity, that charity can claim an extra 20% of your donation from the government. Last year a new scheme came out where non tax-payers' gifts can be gift-aided as long as the donation is less than £25 and is made in the presence of 10 or more people.

Nothing on my fb, either but that might be because the hot topic in my ex-ward is who gave the bishop a black eye? Sister Gabbalot says it was another member but she's not naming names. It's a shame 'cos he's a nice guy and deserves better than TSCC!

It's because, bless them, they think "perfect" always meant what it does now.

And how many early Mormons were British? The Marriage Act (England & Wales, 1837) set the age of consent at 16 (previously it had been 12 for girls & 14 for boys), but the average age for marriage was 23. I have a handful of girls on my family tree who married at 16/17, but they married 17/18 yr old boys.

Of course you're a member - your name is in their records. Even if you resign and ask to have your name removed it won't be; your records just changes from being a member of ***** ward/branch to being a member of the excommunicated/apostate unit. But don't worry,while Mormon god is very good at finding keys, he's just not very good at smiting us evil apostates - certainly, my life is better s

Laban's Head wrote "And BTW -"xmas" was an abbreviation used by biblical scribes (priests, I suppose) to abbreviate "Christmas" in order to save ink and space." And it's not pronounced "eks" it's the Greek letter chi - the first letter of Christ. So in old documents you'll find words like Xian & Xening and people called Xopher.
