I've been doing a bit of reading on Baroque history recently, so I find this whole debate stageringly antiquated. Sigh.

I'd forgotten about the ease with which most fundy churches can excomunicate their members. It's a pretty scary way of discouraging dissent and debate within your cult community...

i've read a bit of history myself. people through history are pretty consistent. everyone likes to think they're new and special and different. and pretty much they're wrong. sadly.

excommunication is very effective, indeed. particularly in communities which enforce conformity, coherence, etc like evangelical sects do. of course, if you say that to their face they get very forthright with you.

sometimes i just can't help myself. like gandalf, i have to meddle ...
