Update: Found the leaflet online.

This morning I received a leaflet entitled "The Bible in a nutshell, a FREE 6-week seminar".
Further reading reveals it's from the local branch of the Christadelphians.
As far as odd Christian cults go, these people seem to be rather harmless, if you can call taking the Bible literally harmless..

It includes the memorable section:
You will not...
- be asked to join the Christadelphians, be saved or make a commitment.

and also
Tuesday evenings
7:30pm - 9:00pm
20th September - 1st November
God willing

Anyone else got this? (assuming only Arbury/Kings Hedges area as it's at the Manor Community Centre)

Yes, I got one of those leaflets too.

That sounds cool. I wish I'd got one. I did once find a Jack Chick tract on a local train but not Dark Dungeons unfortunately. But then Steve Ellis has a box of these and hands them out at cons.

Yeah, if it weren't on Tuesdays, I'd consider having a look.
Steve Ellis is handing out Chick Tracts? Fantastic!

There was a Christadelphian guy on one of the local student newsgroups I read, a few years ago. The main things about him that stand out in my memory were that he was very argumentative, didn't believe in the Trinity, and had more than a dozen cats at home. (I envied him the last of these.)

Just read the wiki:
"After death, believers are in a state of non-existence until the Resurrection at the return of Christ. Following the judgment at that time, the accepted are given immortality, and live with Christ on a restored Earth, helping him to establish the Kingdom of God, and to rule over the mortal population for a thousand years."
You cease to exist and then get given immortality..? uh huh, sounds like the philosophical version of "I just need your credit card number..."

It's in accordance with the Bible - you die until resurrected on the last day for judgement. The 'Straight to the pearly gates when you pop your clogs' idea is a very modern one and has no basis in scripture.

See.. literal.. grr.

The funny thing is, they claim you cannot interpret the Bible. Which is a load of ass, because... *drum roll*

When you READ, you interpret!

And everyone reads it differently.

Gee. Sounds amusing, though. I'd love to go a few rounds.

You are so going to hell. You do not interpret, you are inspired by the true words of GOD!! Report to the nearest booth for termination.

Cambanks got one, as did sevenstring's place.

I did too, and the recycling bin burped most happily.

Our recycling bin is under the stairs and in throwing distance from the doormat. ;o)
