Elders at Ridgedale Church of Christ told Linda Cooper and two relatives that their public support for Kat Cooper, Linda Cooper's gay daughter, went against the church's teachings, local media reported. In a private meeting, reports say, Linda Cooper was given a choice: publicly atone for their transgressions or leave the church. Linda left the church.Why is one congregation of the C of C still able to practice Christianity? Largely because C of C doesn't have a national hierarchy. It doesn't have a Washington office or a NYC office where Satan can pierce its arteries and inject his toxin. Good example of O'Sullivan's Law. Not exactly the original form, but probably a deeper and truer form of the principle. O'Sullivan said any (social, cultural or religious) organization that doesn't hold to an explicit pro-civilization ideology will inevitably drift toward Satan. His emphasis on the ideology misses the real problem. Ideology doesn't protect you, as we've seen with the former Boy Scouts. The only protection is decentralized structure. If you don't take commands and money from a toxified location, you're comparatively safe from the toxin. The law should read: Any (social, cultural or religious) organization with a central office will drift toward Satan.
