Juanita Bynum Attacked by Husband in Parking Lot

this was a great read, thanks for sharing, jitterbug13. this section:

Others, such as Tim Morgan, an editor at Christianity Today, see it as a more organizational problem — the absence of the kind of internal oversight common in mainline Protestantism and more recently in non-Pentecostal Evangelicalism. "Quite a few of these independent churches feel they are beholden to God alone,"

...speaks to why i'm not in enamored w/the non-denom. push in this country. a lack of checks and balances is a recipe for trouble, IMO....

Catch the Juanita B. special on BET when it airs again. Its an interesting take on everything that has gone on with her including the point where Weeks attacked her.

No problem.

And I agree with you on this one. Some wonder why I'm hesitant to go to a non-denom. church and this is one of the reasons.

Just a question: Do you feel Non-denomination is a denomination?

To me, Non-Denom is not Baptist, COGIC, Methodist, etc. but it is a denomination.

Just curious to know y'alls views on the matter.

I agree with you. The church my mother attends is Non-Denomination a Cathedral something another. :smirk: They are their own entity, where their pastor/bishop and their governing body governs the operations of that church. They are not part of any associations/conventions.

BTW, did anyone see JB on BETs Exalted? It airs again Sunday @ Noon and Sunday night 9ET. Interesting to see her "transformation".

Totally agree. And I missed Exalted last night, but I will watch the repeat Sunday. I know first hand that JB went through many makeovers. Let's just say, it looks like she's done much more than lipo.

I'll try to watch the Sunday noon broadcast since at night interrupts Desperate Housewives.

No, I do not.

Non-denomination is simply a church that does not adhere to specific rote religious practices for the sake of doing so. Nor are they accountable to a regional or national religious leadership for certain aspects of their church operations.

But no, it is not its own religion, nor is that its intention to be one.

i may have to look at that. if for no other reason, to see pix of that million dollar wedding

wouldn't it be crazy if they were still paying for it especially now

as for my anti-non-denom. stance, in my new area, a well-known Baptist church was building a new church. before the church was to move into the new building, the pastor was found to have had an affair w/an also married church member and had to stand down. what does the church do then? go non-denom. i'm sure at the behest of the pastor who i'm sure is back in the pulpit.
that said to me, "we/i don't need no stinkin' rules..."

This problem is not exclusive to non-denominational churches. In all cases it is a matter of following the rules that are established--religious decrees and operational rules.

And following a specific religious decree does not preclude some churches of that denomination from not following the FISCAL rules that create checks and balances.
