Doncha think this is an odd choice of threads for someone to toss mud at Protestants from? Why does no one ever give us credit for our ecumenical efforts, that brought us closer together from our all-time high of a zillion denominations just a couple of years ago!
I have to laugh at NYer's claim that there's 40,000 denominations again. She claimed there were 33,000 in June of 2007, with "more springing up every day" in August 2007. Yet by November 2007, she'd dropped the number down to 20,000. Now in September of 2009, she's raised the number up to "30,000 and growing". And then two months later, she claimed she was going to post [40,000] but "chose to go more conservative". Up and down, up and down we go! Wheeee!
She's still leaving out the 242 Catholic churches that call themselves Christian but all disagree with each other. How inexplicably convenient to exclude them, when they're included in the same source doc!
Did you also notice she's reverted to calling them "denominations" again? Last time she just called them "churches"....
