Oh The Irony!

Recently when I had my three hour long chat with brother Kenny Mann, we were talking about how the Hardshells are so schismatic and have divided over so many things, often over minor issues. I mentioned to him about the Hardshells declaring non-fellowship with members who are involved in "secret societies," such as the Freemasons. In response he said "The PBs are a secret society! They put their church buildings way out in the country, making them hard to find. You have to go down this road, to this dirt road, to that small road." (paraphrase) Well, I laughed so hard! "The PBs are a secret society"! lol It reminded me of the days I spent in Texas in 1993 with brother Bob Ross (when we did those videos on the Hardshells). We were laughing all the time at such things about the Hardshells. The numerous instances of irony, false logic, and just plain funny things about them as a group, kept us in stitches! Of course, after laughing with Kenny over his statement, we both agreed that it was really sad, though funny. Sad, because their idiosyncrasies and oddball characteristics, though at times funny, are nevertheless also occasions to be sad over their condition as a denomination.
