Christadelphian.

00:36:46.699 --> 00:36:48.260
That's<00:36:47.219><c> an</c><00:36:47.380><c> unusual</c><00:36:47.760><c> name.</c>

00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:51.659
I<00:36:49.360><c> wonder</c><00:36:49.599><c> what</c><00:36:49.760><c> goes</c><00:36:50.039><c> on</c><00:36:50.300><c> inside.</c>

00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:09.719
It<00:37:06.300><c> would</c><00:37:06.559><c> take</c><00:37:06.780><c> an</c><00:37:07.019><c> enormous</c><00:37:07.699><c> plight,</c><00:37:08.480><c> an</c><00:37:08.599><c> enormous</c><00:37:08.980><c> danger</c>

00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:16.599
They<00:37:12.900><c> had</c><00:37:13.099><c> to</c><00:37:13.239><c> be</c><00:37:13.340><c> in</c><00:37:13.519><c> awful</c><00:37:13.880><c> trouble</c><00:37:14.500><c> and</c><00:37:15.079><c> pursued.</c>

00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:21.980
Pursued<00:37:17.579><c> by</c><00:37:17.860><c> their</c><00:37:18.199><c> fear,</c><00:37:19.239><c> as</c><00:37:19.360><c> well</c><00:37:19.519><c> as</c><00:37:19.679><c> pursued</c><00:37:19.980><c> by</c><00:37:20.239><c> the</c><00:37:20.440><c> avenger</c><00:37:20.800><c> of</c><00:37:20.980><c> blood.</c>

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:25.860
Perhaps<00:37:23.280><c> we</c><00:37:23.500><c> shouldn't</c><00:37:23.820><c> expect</c><00:37:24.420><c> men</c><00:37:24.639><c> of</c><00:37:24.840><c> the</c><00:37:25.059><c> world</c><00:37:25.280><c> to</c><00:37:25.579><c> just</c>

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:33.599
These<00:37:29.900><c> sisters</c><00:37:30.219><c> have</c><00:37:30.599><c> found</c><00:37:31.019><c> you</c><00:37:31.519><c> have</c><00:37:31.760><c> to</c><00:37:32.119><c> bring</c><00:37:32.539><c> people</c><00:37:33.000><c> in.</c>

00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:37.360
And<00:37:34.659><c> they</c><00:37:34.960><c> stood</c><00:37:35.179><c> on</c><00:37:35.380><c> the</c><00:37:35.619><c> street</c><00:37:35.800><c> corner</c><00:37:36.199><c> and</c><00:37:36.659><c> as</c><00:37:36.840><c> a</c><00:37:37.059><c> sister</c>

00:37:41.099 --> 00:37:45.340
that's<00:37:41.360><c> been</c><00:37:41.699><c> in</c><00:37:42.800><c> preparing</c><00:37:43.400><c> the</c><00:37:43.800><c> hall</c><00:37:44.219><c> goes</c><00:37:45.000><c> out.</c>

00:37:45.380 --> 00:37:48.119
So<00:37:45.480><c> there's</c><00:37:45.679><c> always</c><00:37:46.039><c> two</c><00:37:46.320><c> sisters</c><00:37:46.639><c> on</c><00:37:46.880><c> the</c><00:37:47.179><c> street.</c>

00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:53.480

00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:58.239
Their<00:37:53.980><c> first</c><00:37:54.360><c> introduction</c><00:37:55.119><c> to</c><00:37:55.380><c> the</c><00:37:55.659><c> truth</c><00:37:56.320><c> was</c><00:37:56.920><c> when</c><00:37:57.099><c> they</c><00:37:57.380><c> came</c><00:37:57.579><c> inside</c><00:37:58.000><c> a</c>

Christadelphian<00:37:58.940><c> hall.</c>

00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:03.599
And<00:38:00.840><c> their</c><00:38:01.099><c> reaction</c><00:38:01.480><c> originally</c><00:38:02.019><c> was</c><00:38:02.239><c> one</c><00:38:02.460><c> of</c><00:38:02.659><c> relief.</c>

00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:07.579
Oh,<00:38:05.280><c> isn't</c><00:38:05.500><c> it</c><00:38:05.800><c> nice</c><00:38:06.099><c> in</c><00:38:06.420><c> here?</c>

00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:13.039
To<00:38:08.920><c> which</c><00:38:09.139><c> you're</c><00:38:09.480><c> inclined</c><00:38:09.880><c> to</c><00:38:10.199><c> ask,</c><00:38:10.480><c> well,</c><00:38:10.900><c> what</c><00:38:11.199><c> did</c><00:38:11.420><c> you</c><00:38:11.739><c> expect?</c>

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:20.519
The<00:38:15.920><c> cities</c><00:38:16.239><c> of</c><00:38:16.619><c> refuge</c><00:38:17.000><c> that</c><00:38:17.280><c> for</c><00:38:17.539><c> us</c><00:38:17.840><c> are</c><00:38:18.139><c> places</c><00:38:18.500><c> of</c><00:38:18.920><c> comfort,</c><00:38:19.619><c> of</c><00:38:19.880><c> safety,</c><00:38:20.320><c> of</c>

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:28.000
They<00:38:24.940><c> might</c><00:38:25.159><c> look</c><00:38:25.360><c> like</c><00:38:25.639><c> places</c><00:38:25.960><c> of</c><00:38:26.360><c> bondage.</c>

00:38:28.900 --> 00:38:34.340

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:39.780
