Yes, it is a denomination….and yes I get the joke, however I am sure people who still consider themselves of that church affiliation probably don’t.
For Polycarp: Primitive as in old… “Old Baptist Church – 4 blocks…
Peter you might check “4 blocks down” and see what is there. There are not many of these churches left around. I had a friend whose family was “Primitive” and they eventually joined the Church of Christ. They are more like Church of Christ than Baptist.
Since I am “primiitive ie old I got the joke and got the sign. Hope this helps.
Wilma, it’s funny because the sign must be relatively new, it’s still in great shape and doesn’t appear faded at all. I just had to get a picture. I’m sure passers-by were wondering what in the world I was doing.
Peter, if it’s the same thing you got that I got, then I see some humor there.
Probably so, but there are a million variations thereon I’m sure, hence the “insert joke here.”
Now that’s primitive!
Indeed. Maybe “primitive” can become the new “phat,” or “sweet,” or “groovy.”
Modern Baptist churches are made from far more than four blocks. Hundreds, in fact, if they are not made of wood. Most even have roofs, too.
LOL! There’s an angle that didn’t immediately come to mind, but nice.
I happen to know a “Primitive Baptist Church” Preacher. Don’t think there are many of those churches left around.
So is it a subdenomination? If so, it is something I am unfamiliar with.
Indeed. Thanks, Edwin.
Peter, help me out here – what is the joke?
I mean, Primitive Baptist is like the CoC – no instruments, no payment of leaders, etc… Still not getting the joke.
I’m not sure where to begin really… I guess it’s primarily in the “irony” of the name.
PC – I am CoC and I get paid and we have instruments?
Our CoC Pastors seem to get paid rather well, but instruments(?), that’s blasphemy around these parts
