Is anyone familiar with Godtube.com? It appears to be a Christian hybrid of YouTube, Facebook, etc.

That's great, Courtney! Thanks for including us in this outreach.

I just browsed a bit on facebook. I'm a middle aged lady who doesn't think much about age, but I definitely felt a generation beyond everyone else I saw there.:D

Hi everyone,

I set up the group and there is now a "Former CS Christians" group (just 4 strong right now) on facebook. If you want to open a facebook account please join us! I also posted a link to the Christian Way website.

Thanks for your support and ideas! I know that God is going to help us reach some doubting CSers in this way!

Best,
Courtney

Good idea! How about "Christian Science Escape Artists" ;)
Hope the Mother Church doesn't object to the use of CS in these cases...

Thanks for the suggestions! And my husband said how about "Know the Truth!" to put a spin on such a popular CS phrase...

Great idea, Courtney!

I don't recommend using "Christian Way" since we are a distinct organization, but I do hope you will provide a link to the Christian Way web site!

How about:

-- Former CS Christians

-- ex-CS and following Jesus Christ

I graduated from Prin College in 2003 and left CS soon thereafter. I really want to reach out to current Christian Scientists and fellow Prin alums. Since I am a facebook user I am going to start an "ex CS" facebook group. (There are lots of CS groups like "CS Friendly", "Christian Science Rocks!", and "Christian Science Youth".) However, I am having a hard time coming up with a name for my group. I don't want it to sound haughty or else it might offend my CS friends and turn them off from hearing the truth. However, I want it to have a clear identity as a group of former Christian Scientists who have found the real truth in the Bible and love Jesus.

Here are my ideas so far:
- CS Exers
- Former Christian Scientists
- Christian Way (not sure if I should use this name, since I am not officially affiliated with the Christian Way website - plus it doesn't clearly mention CS)

I was also thinking it could be some kind of a spin on words/phrases that CS uses, but I am having a hard time coming up with ideas for that.

Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated. I want to let the young Prin alum community know that there are plenty of us who've left CS, and if they have questions, there are people they can turn to.
