For the last decade +, Theland *HAD* been R&S!!!
Sure, a few goofballs, (like goodlife) do their hit and run thing but at least Theland had the tenacity to stick it out.

Just like the High Street, R&S will die without him....

He will be sadly missed.
You're so right!!! I tried a couple of times, but he came back at me!!!

//I tried a couple of times, but he came back at me!!!//

Yeah, he did that ....
God, (no pun intended) Ill miss him.
Mark Twain - accounts of my death have been exaggerated

and boys and gurlz my English masters' book on the End of Times ( Joseph Rhymer ) ( JR went from being an English master to Head of The Bearsden Seminary, I wonder which one he preferred)

and to a large extent TheLand was right. - JR took absolutely every reference in the gospels to the Millenium and related to OT references as Jews would have done at the time, - ( Daniel Joel psalms, prophets)
and then Paul's letters from a Jewish and educated roman citizen of 1st centiury point of view - including the ones he didnt write - but may still be doctrinally orthodox
and I have just started the chap on Revelation

which I would never have done unless Theland had been of a millenarial frame of mind
PP. What is 'doctrinally orthodox' meant to mean? 'Doctrine' means what?
I don't think Theland and me were of the same Church background, but I always admired him for doggedly fighting his corner.
I hope he now is at true peace
I wouldn't worry, naomi will still be piling her defences up!
They had a hoolie
series of hoolies ( remember I am er on AB) up to around 350AD
about which were IN and which were OUT.

and Mr Rhymer ( my old english teacher that is!) said that there were doubts about Pauline authorship even then ( they didnt think the old bagga had written them to you and me). But they were still included as the theology was what they wanted. = doctrine was orthodox

orthos - straight - doxa - here teaching opinion NT - glory splendour

Metzger has written a lot about this
Amazon.com User Recommendation
but jesus they are not cheap !

[ If you believe ( Coptic) that jesus was divine in nature before the crucifixion, then the Infancy Gospels are IN. fr'instance. Western Christians dont]
As AB is, on the whole, an ethnically 'white' site the flavour of the 'religion' here is "white Christianity" which has experienced massive decline over the past 50 years, hence no proteges in the wings.

Other religions and other demographics religious beliefs are flourishing but we are unlikely to get much of that on here.
DTC, rest assured that if anyone else comes along to tell us that if we don’t believe as he/she does we are doomed to the eternal tortures of hell, I certainly will have defences up - but not just for myself.

Archibaldy, the CofE is experiencing dwindling figures but the happy clappies are doing rather well.
Naomi I can believe that’s true for the USA but the UK, do you have any stats or experience on that?

I’ve got very little personal experience, last church I went to was a Catholic about 6 months ago, was pretty empty but there was a lot of non-white, the whites were mainly Eastern Europeans.
I was so so sad to see about theland. I'm not sure we ever agreed on anything, but I had a lot of respect and affection for him. I hope he is wherever he wanted to be.

R&S won't die. I think we will all very much notice his loss, but it will evolve (sorry, theland ;-)) and carry on.
The abusive posts won’t be missed .
That article is interesting Naomi, it does seem to tie in with my observations of many Eastern European’s at the Catholic Church. It will be interesting to see the 2021 census data on this when it comes out as that may tell us a bit more about the way it’s all going.
Have only just seen news re theland. A huge loss to AB. First Ummm and now theland - 2 amazing stalwarts who contributed so much here.

Condolences to thelanda family
