Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
Well, I hope you stay with us long enough to become "an old Quaker."
But by then you probably will have seen some differences! There weren't supposed to be any, back when we started. Like other more-or-less "puritan" groups we were seeking how to restart the early Christian Church-- and then we thought we'd found it!
Where we missed, I think... The Church was supposed to be a live thing, introducing people to God and letting God lead us all forward from there (as George Fox was also trying to do!) But people move away from that kind of life; it feels too much like living on the side of Mose's mountain, all the time worried "What about fire, earthquakes & flying rocks?-- Is this safe?"
And then people start following Tradition. God smiles, shakes his head, says "Maybe next time."
I think w are not to turn your back on the world!! but to tell the world about god and I'm talking about force it down people. but by what we say & do in this world. I feel like if we are true with god and have him work in me & out of me people will go what is that power? Because we are human and we like power the more power we have we feel like we can't be stop but if people see the power god working that make people stop and think. that is where I would like to be same day.
That is what i mean by not turning are back.

I've been on this site for more that one year . . . and I'm still trying to figure out this Quaker bunch?
