We talked about: James B. writes and submits the Drone's Declaration of Independence. He also reads a list of things identifying a 'poser'. Do concerns about the canon of scripture drive one Romeward? Steve Driscoll, Ray Comfort. Current dynamics within the Christian chuch. Some of the driving forces are large metro-mega-churches, 'insightful' books, freedom from orthodoxy.
