Hebrews 10:25 (New King Jimmy):

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

At the risk of sounding like I’m attacking the folks at that church, isn’t this verse even more violated by the situation you described than by my not being in the church every time the doors are open — i.e. the manner in which this verse is generally (mis)used ?

Weren't accepting new people.</blockquote> I probably missed a lot of good stuff in your post. I'm still obsessing about that one line.
