That last question is interesting, I'll probably get back with more on it, but just off the cuff I'd say if instantly next Sunday, everyone who couldn't accept or was lukewarm on everything offically given from the pulpit had to leave, 25% would vanish. And if they had to agree with EVERY OTHER PERSON in there, 50-75%, maybe more would vaporize. I guess they could re-sort and start up again in new "purified" groups, but that wouldn't teach much about living together and it wouldn't last forever anyway, as new generations are born and new issues arise.

Just an update. There are also other groups with common interests that cross the denominational lines and hel relieve some pressure for conformity within them, such as
