When did Quakers start worship sharing?

Worship sharing: where does it come from? I have only participated a few times with Liberal Friends. Do other branches do this also?  In this FGC publication I have linked it mentioned that the…Continue

What does even mean?

I have recently begun to explore Quakerism. I attend a small liberal meeting in Indianapolis. I have been seeing a lot of the George Fox quote:   "But as I had forsaken the priests, so I left the…Continue

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, "Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the King; let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably."But Micaiah said, "As the Lord…"

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"Forrest, Thanks for the good explanation. I am glad you are doing this scripture study. I would rather learn the scripture and have problem with parts of it than not know it and think "I probably would have problems with parts of it." "

"He killed 450 prophets. You know what I think. "

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Luke'
"Forrest I agree with everything you said. I was talking about the fish presumably caught against their will."

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Luke'
"Our meeting has been considering QuakerQuest. I am wondering if discomfort with the imagery in this passage may connect with reluctance of some Friends to do anything remotely resembling proselytizing."

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"I was not familiar with Stringfellow but it is easier to wrap my head around these kinds of false idols then Jupitor or Neptune."

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"Jeroboam was worse than David and Omri was worse than Jeroboam and Ahab was even worse. The book is not very specific. Once you build altars to false Gods what is bad and what is worse?"

Eric H-L replied to Francis X. O'Hara's discussion 're: What do you do in silent worship?'
"I am very much looking forward to trying the two visualizations you describe. Somehow I immediately felt that they will be helpful.   I have great difficulty articulating my theology, partially because it keeps changing. "The construct or…"

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Luke'
"All this background is new to me and seems very interesting and helpful. I am as puzzled as you are about the plague of demons. Perhaps they were no more common 2000 years ago but Jesus and/or the apostles were more interested and more willing to…"

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"I see your editorial punctuation Forrest! I read a little ahead to 1Kings 15.8 where it says "...David did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life except in…"

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"Surely the old prophet of Bethel would have been aware of the danger of  fabricating a false story of angelic message to supercede the divine instructions to the man of God not to eat or drink? And why? It sounds like they kept eating after…"

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"Why did God have mercy on Jeraboams poor dried hand? Is there some way this act of cursing the hand and then removing the curse could be read as some kind of symbolism?"

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"I am puzzled by the garment rent into 12 pieces. Ten pieces for Jeroboam, one for Rehoboam, what is the 12th piece?  Also another thought: the punishment for worshipping Astoreth  concealed  the female faces of the divine."

Eric H-L replied to Forrest Curo's discussion 'Prophets'
"The detail of Uriah the Hittite carrying the letter that seals his own doom is quite dramatic. I am reminded that Shakespeare have used a variant element in the letters that Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern carried. Why does Nathan say the…"

"I wonder how Samuel felt? "...for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them." Does he need comfort?"
