Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), is an extremely rare disease of the connective tissue. A mutation of the body's repair mechanism causes fibrous tissue (including muscle, tendon, and ligament) to be ossified when damaged.
There is no known cure for FOP.
I heard a quick diddy on the radio yesterday about this disease. The announcement went on to say that death is imminent for FOP patients; or basically, TOO MUCH STRUCTURE IMPEDES LIFE!!! I already knew that, though!

Is there such a thing as not enough structure?
Chris,
I don't think that's been a problem in the church for several centuries..........
In parts of it, definately. Do you realize you totally avoided answering my question? ;)
I didn't avoid your point, I disassembled it! (a tactic I've learned from our BRC and caribou buddies)
Actually, you didn't answer it, bro, all disassembling aside. In spite of the ramifications behind the simple yes or the simple no, maybe you could tell me?
The point is, answering it is non-essential. For generations upon generations that church has not had a problem with too little structure. To discuss whether or not that is possible is moot.
If there is no danger of too little structure, the issue would be moot. Is there no danger of this?
There is currently no danger.
Was that so hard to say? Even if I do disagree...congratulations, you honestly spake your mind. Keep it up.
For a preacher to honestly speak his mind with the concision you expect would mean that 20 minutes into a 45 minute discourse said preacher would have depleted his notes. Hence we have trained ourselves to elude, suggest and evade the point until such a time as the receiver can no longer bear our prattle!
A. That was a bit random. A simply yes or no was the request. Further exposition was optional, and certainly not preceding the simple yes or no.
B. We?
