Aron Ra is a member there and often a speaker. Really nice guy...not nearly as scary as he looks. While speaking with him on one occassion, he told me that he used to live in the town where I live. Now he's a couple towns east.
Yup - probably so. I'm in DFW (thus the shout out to "817" in my username). I'll check out the Fellowship - that's good to know. I've watched some of the N TX Church of Freethought videos. I want to get on their live streams or over to one of their in-person meetups in Grapevine sometime, but the timing conflicts with the obligatory family Sunday lunch (post-church for them, post-non-church for me).
I am a recent subscriber to Aron's content. He did the first edition of his new "Blasphemers Bible Study" live stream last weekend. In almost 2 hours, I think they only got through part of Genesis 1, but I learned way, way more about the passages they covered in that 2 hours than in decades of Sunday School - historical, linguistic, competing traditions, etc - really fascinating stuff, and again stuff that was hidden to me before through a combination of my own filters and willful obfuscation by people who should have been mentioning it.
