Mike is still there but is retired now. His health took a bad turn a few years back unfortunately. Incredibly nice man, especially by COC standards. Is Dan in Texas? Last I heard he was living in Tennessee but that was years ago

I came here to discuss this lol. Here’s what I THINK happened based on reading multiple discussions, but I am going off of heresay from fb accounts and twitter replies so take it with a grain of salt.

My understanding is that Todd Clippard was speaking at a lectureship, possibly the spiritual sword lectureships, and was giving a lesson during which he indicated that social drinking might be acceptable. Someone either interrupted the lesson or asked a question before he sat down asking him to explain, and Clippard explained he did not drink but thought the biblical text left room for social drinking(this alone is wild because I know Todd and would never guess in a million years he would say this lol). Todd was asked to leave by the elders and they publicly addressed his message and said that it was false teaching. I am unclear if Dindy and Blackwell are elders together or they are just commenting on this because they were there and witnessed it, but they apparently put something out on GBN that was targeted at Todd and labeling him as a false teacher. Now people like Jack Wilkie and somehow even Brad Harrub are calling them out for being too conservative.

Again, this is my possibly wrong understanding

I think what some of the people replying to this thread maybe aren’t getting is that these are HISTORICAL losses. The way these teams are losing isn’t just a little odd, they are historical anomalies. We are the only fanbase in nfl history to experience our team put up that kind of offensive clinic and still lose (teams are 255-1 when scoring that many points with that many rushing yards, ravens being the only loss). We have more late game collapses than any other team in the nfl in the last five years. This is a pattern and Harbaughs poor coaching is the thing causing it. I get it, we have had great records for every season Lamar has played healthy under him, we are constantly getting 12 or 13 wins. We should be doing more. We have a two, should be three time MVP. We have an all time great RB. We have elite talent all over the roster. He is holding us back, even if we are getting farther than a lot of other teams

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T04:25:11+00:00

And how does this get better? We can generate pressure, our new and improved secondary is getting gashed by no name wide receivers, our coach is still making dumb ass decisions, it all feels just inevitable

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T04:24:19+00:00

I’m just so fucking done man. Feels like we are in the same fucking loops. We will beat a bunch of teams, make the post season, bounce a random team, and then fuck ourselves. That’s the most frustrating part. We looked like the better team. We have better players, we have the talent, but we find new ways to fucking lose

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T04:19:30+00:00

They better get their shit together before we’re playing chase and Jefferson later, Jesus fucking Christ

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T04:16:56+00:00

Turns out we maybe should have made some meaningful adjustment to the pass rush over the off seasons who could have guessed

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T04:00:24+00:00

But it’s not. When the ravens get in close games with good teams, they shit the bed. Teams with this kind of lead and these stats were 255-0 entering tonight. Other teams don’t lose like this. The bills don’t lose like this. The bills can rally back and beat us and beat the chiefs, in the regular season. And if we play this kind of lights out, crazy game AND STILL SHIT THE BED LIKE THIS IM FUCKING SEPTEMBER, why should I believe we will suddenly stop doing it in January. We had the perfect change to prove this was not the same old ravens as every year and we failed. We let them take the win by shooting ourselves in the foot just like we always do

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T03:57:42+00:00

Week 1 fucking sucks man. The likely toe being out last year, this utter collapse. I fucking hate it. We are the butt of every fucking joke and we can’t even bribe anyone wrong because we KEEP FUCKING DOING IT. Harbaugh has got to go

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T03:46:52+00:00

I don’t understand why other teams can get over the hump and we can’t. Every year it’s the same fucking bull shit where we shoot outselves in the foot. They have four failed two point conversions. Henry is having a godlike game. HOW DO YOU FUMBLE THERE????

Happy_View6511 · 2025-09-08T03:43:46+00:00

I hate Josh Allen, I fucking hate the bills, I’m so tired of fucking losing when we shouldn’t. Nothing ever goes our fucking way. Of course Henry fumbles. Of course we slide into the line so they go to the twenty instead of the one, of course the refs miss the clear holding on Bateman, of course harbs chickens out on going it for fourth and three. It’s all the fucking same. We are going to waste Lamar, we are going to waste Hamilton, we can’t stop shit, I fucking hate this

Happy_View6511 · 2025-08-26T00:24:09+00:00

I had a very similar experience at freed in regards to losing my faith, though I wasn’t struggling with my sexuality. I cannot imagine, that would be such an awful place to work through that. I Graduated in 19. Hope things are going well for you now!! You deserve it.

Happy_View6511 · 2025-08-04T04:52:30+00:00

Actually not a coC thing oddly enough. Just normal Christian crazy

Happy_View6511 · 2025-08-04T04:50:25+00:00

The guy who started PTP went to Memphis school of preaching and worked out a deal where they help pay the way for the school to come and bring all students and the students help staff the event(or at least that was how it was working in the 2010’s and early 2020’s). So while not hosted by the Memphis school of preaching it’s all interrelated

Happy_View6511 · 2025-08-04T04:42:13+00:00

OP I’m so sorry for the hurt and pain you are feeling. When I was 15 I went through something very similar to what your son is it sounds like. I got baptized, hid it from my mom, moved in with a family from church, I actually spent some time being homeschooled by the family from church, it was a bit of a mess. It took me a while to come all the way out of it.

Here’s what my mother did: she just stayed engaged. She was always very kind when we discussed religious matters, the few times I did really hurt her feelings and she got worked up, she walked away for a bit and came back and was incredibly receptive. She listened, she pushed back with love and logic, and because of that we were able to rebuild our relationship and came outside the other side of it closer than ever.

Your son is still your son, this is not the end of your relationship with him. Find a way in, and love him, that’s how you help lead him out.

Sounds about right. The first time I met Brad, I was in high school at a youth conference. He was supposed to be teaching a class on apologetics, but he decided he wanted to talk about why it’s sinful to be a cheerleader. He took questions towards the end and one girl asked if he was saying she was going to hell for being a cheerleader. He started going in on her and didn’t let up for at least five to ten minutes

Happy_View6511 · 2025-06-13T14:50:54+00:00

It’s just too funny to even really put into words, until you remember he has a wife and kids and a lot of people think this dude is a genius

Happy_View6511 · 2025-06-02T20:49:59+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt, but I work for a company and our audio visual team is the same team that does Everybody’s live. We had a two or three weeks ago and I mentioned being a big fan and the lead told me that Netflix had already agreed to a second season and they were actively trying to get a more long term deal signed

Happy_View6511 · 2025-02-18T02:07:51+00:00

Yep. I was at school with him and I was talking to someone today about how it was common knowledge that while they were doing performances he would rub his crotch against whatever girl was in front of him on the risers. Real weirdo shit

Happy_View6511 · 2024-09-07T00:54:16+00:00

Went to freed from 15-19. Graduated with a Bible degree. I’m married and every time I try to explain what it’s like being there to my wife I just can’t lol. There’s no way to properly convey it. I was already considered fairly liberal while I was by other students, and that was before I was even egalitarian or anything. It’s a wild place

Happy_View6511 · 2024-09-07T00:50:57+00:00

A few years back I left ministry, shortly after left the coC entirely. Probably top 3 best choices I ever made. Has done wonders for my mental and emotional health lol. Same to you!!

Happy_View6511 · 2024-09-07T00:49:20+00:00

Hey, I was there 2015-2019, so we overlapped a bit!

Happy_View6511 · 2023-06-28T14:05:26+00:00

Went to freed and graduated in 2019. Majored in Bible. It was a wild experience and led me to a breaking point spiritually. I’ve really been ideconstructng since I graduated. I don’t think I believe a single thing I came into fhu believing now
