It's clear to me that neither Jen nor Mere Kat possess an adequate knowledge of Christian Science to offer valuable criticisms. I don't blame you for trying, but fortunately you're off the mark.

What is it that made it clear to you that Jen's and Mere Kat's criticisms lack value?

Just a comment on young people in the church -- I work at a college of 10,000 students, and there is no CS Org on campus.
When I was a child, teenager, and young adult, I ran into other Christian Scientists frequently. Now, the only one I know is the ex-husband of a coworker. I have noticed that increasingly over the years, I run into fewer and fewer CS people, and haven't met even one in many years.

Huh????
Wait a second Anonymous Ann. You should know that personal attacks are not tolerated on this site. Mere Kat and Jen have not posted here for months, and now you post an unsupported accusation in a thread which has been inactive for well over a month! Why are you now trying to belittle the posts of others? What are you really trying to say?
It's clear to me that you haven't read what Mere Kat or Jen have shared here, or you would have figured out that 1. They are not "young people in the church," and 2. They both have demonstrated much more than an "adequate knowledge of Christian Science." --at least much more than anything I read from your anonymous posts....

Anonymous post #17276: I'm quite sure post #17272 was not Ann's post. Ann was commenting on the earlier discussion in the thread. This is a perfect example of the importance of taking a name, any name, to use when posting. All the Anonymous posts are terrible confusing and drive me nuts!
I would imagine that the Anonymous of post #17272 is yet another Christian Scientist letting us know how little we understand. It is the same old song and dance.

Thank you dawn comes. I stand corrected. Quite right; I share your confusion with anonymous posts, and apologize for mistaking Ann's comments with the Anon 17272 post. I think your assessment is spot on: just another superior CS type whose understanding is so far beyond the rest of us, they need to demonstrate their own Christianity by claiming those who disagree with them are intellectually inadequate.

Well, it's a good reminder to me that I should be logging in instead of being lazy and posting as Anonymous!
But you are right, that post about Mere Kat and Jen was not from me.

That's a great and insightful post up above. Missed it last Spring and read it just now.
Moving on, Kaballah is an occultic/mystic belief system that originated in the Middle Ages, although (like many other mystic systems) it claims a more ancient, pre-Christian beginning. People are attracted to these NewAge belief systems for various reasons, and it's fascinating that CS finds a compatibility with it. Paging Ginny Harris!

Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה, lit. "receiving") is a discipline and school of thought concerned with the mystical aspect of Rabbinic Judaism. ...
you can receive the secret of God , from God " who is our Life."

We have a very small church but we do have a large Sunday school and youth group. So large we had our first Vacation bible school this year. Three of the children who's parents were non C.S are now attending the church regularly. So all together we have 4- 5year old, 7 in the nursery 4 in the teen group and 9 under the age of 40. I stated it is a small church the Church in Marrietta Ga has a lot more. It is the one my family attends. I have seen C.S. grow a lot in the last few years. Maybe I should say I have seen our church grow a lot the past two years. I am confused to why everyone is so upset about C.S. In your forums I have read of quite A few healings and am trying to understand what makes people so upset about others who had made the choice to be C.S. there are so many other things I would like to say about my C.s. experince but I feel like the animosity on this forum would cause everyone to pick them apart and turn it into a argument. I am very proud to be C.S. and not angry at those who chose to belive diffrently. I was severly abused in a southren baptist church my whole life but I don't belive the whole religion or the church members are all bad or wrong or abusers.
Tryingtounderstand.
