Here's a religious movement that deserves resurrecting:

Though I think it's mainly the fact that they held their meetings in taverns that appeals to me. 
Hi John
And welcome to the thread, I did respone to you the other day, on the thread about the cookies, but you didn’t get back, no bother, may be you didn’t see it? If so her it is:-
Your comment:
It's because the authonomy website is based in the UK. There was a change in the law recently that required all British web sites that use cookies to record data to inform the end user of the fact. Nothing sinister. (Unless you consider the use of cookies sinister.) I think they're supposed to offer you the option of deleting the cookies, too.
I had a similar message a few days ago when I logged into my bank's website (also in the UK, of course).
My response:
I don’t trust a man whose lips I can’t see move, John Bayliss, why are you hiding your mouth and why are you taking a photo of me. I don’t want to start rumours or anything, (although I might be) but might you be part of the new world order, that’s trying to lull us in to a false sense of security while watch our every move with those cookies?
Mmmm cookies, macadamian nuts, chocolate chip, cuppa tea. Time to put the kettle on....
Ignorance is bliss.
I was only teasing of course, or was I? I only mention it because of the relivence to the threads topic.
But now your here talking about a failed religious movement involving a man who thought God had commissioned him and his cousin as the two witnesses 300 years ago. Interesting, and I must say an amusing account on the link you give. I too can see the appeal, of their practice of holding regular meetings in taverns and at organised picnics. Very attractive. Yet it died out, perhaps if they had had a closer connection to God through Jesus it may have then survived? If you feel you want to act on you notion of resurrecting it, that would be my advice. I for one would certainly visit, for the pub/church/barbeque experience.
We just need the weather.
