Terry: Belated greetings to you!!

In Champaign, IL, there is a Church of Christ that thinks that they are the only true church in town. They recruit people from other churches, and are cultic in their control over members lives. One of my friends joined there and proceeded to declare the rest of us to be unbelievers. They may be associated with a group called the Boston Church of Christ.

Does this group sound like an offshoot of one of the three groups of CoC that you mentioned, or are there other Church of Christ groups that have a different ancestry? I realize that this church is very aberrant, and doesn’t reflect on other CoC churches.
