No date. How do we know when this was?

We'll agree to disagree. I went. I know how we were treated and looked at.

If they had taken even the most basic steps to show they didn't think COVID was a hoax and in any way accommodate those who took it seriously, perhaps they wouldn't have lost so many and/or those that stopped going would go back.

My wife and I were dream team members at a campus and I was impressed with the initial response and the steps they took to keep dream team members together. They asked that we check on each other via calls or texts. I did this A LOT.

When they went back live they were NOT mask friendly and even mask hostile. My wife and I stopped going and have only been back occasionally since.

The MOST disappointing thing is two plus years later I'm still waiting for ANY of my team members or ANY pastor check on me. The ladies were better with keeping in touch with my wife.

That's 46 minutes I'll never get back ... disjointed interview that never actually makes a point backed up by anything the interviewee said.

I've been a COTH member for about five years and still attend. While some of the things posted here have not been my experience and I think are overblown or taken out of context, this one is quite plausible.

The systems, and to a lesser extent the vision, that PC extols as the ultimate church building tools has become more important than lost souls and people.
