I was comparing these rankings with the sites that I personally find edifying, or look to for spiritual guidance.

intouch.org (Dr. Charles Stanley) 42,655

joelosteen.com 39,861

ccel.org (Mark Copeland) 38,861

lifetoday.org (James and Betty Robison) 479,649

So, if I know how to translate these properly, we're looking at 42, 39, 38, and 479. We've seen the abyssimal baptismal figures for the ACOGs over the past several years, so I suspect that the sites that I've cited above probably are leading much greater numbers of people to Jesus Christ than are the ACOGs.

I know, some joker out there is saying to himself, "but, Bob, these groups don't keep the sabbath! God doesn't work through people who don't keep the sabbath!". And my response would be, "No, I know. He only works through people who commit incest, get busted for drunkenness on college campus, or ordain themselves apostles, prophets, witnesses, etc."

As for clipping those toenails -- you'd sure better do it before the Passover service.

There's a stand-up routine about foot-washing preparation simply waiting to happen. But many COG'ers probably would be too "sober-minded" to laugh at it.

Anon 11:26 -

Our time has been termed postmodernist, post-industrialist, post-Fordist... perhaps it is approaching post-Herbist and post-COGist...

With the recycling of GTA's work and a website that I think needs a massive revamp, I can see they lost their edge over other splinters.

As for being liberal, Ron Dart is still in there, and he keeps well away from the hard-core fringe issues that scream from the other websites.

or it could be that Ted's last 2 churches are so liberal that they don't appeal to serious students.

And conspicuously absent are any of the remnants of GTA - his rerun site, ICG, and not even the re-invigorated CGI.

A sad no-show as for many of us he was our first encounter with the WCG. Maybe it's because his splinters don't offer tickets to Petra.

Everyone loves a clown, well ok not everyone, but they do draw a crowd of the insecure, braindead, uncritical, God-haunted non-thinkers.

Ron has never given a profoundly theological sermon in his life. He merely tells the audience what to know and think and then sprinkles his sermons with his nervous laughter and meaningless comments.

You know...clown stuff....:)

"Rodomite"

This is hilarious! ROTFLMAO! Given Spanky's extreme fascination with gay sex this is a most approximate nickname! Of course this will surely send Dr. Bob into a screaming fit!
