In the past year, I have seen several threads that brought out deep passion and debate, and good insights.

You may want to use the search function (upper right), but here have been a few of the topics that I learned much from:

Keeping the sabbath

http://www.puritanboard.com/f25/sabbath-observation-poll-35726/
Observing 'holydays' such as Christmas, Easter
http://www.puritanboard.com/f103/not-celebrating-christmas-41057/ (a near "thread riot" broke out on this one)
http://www.puritanboard.com/f67/celebration-easter-christmas-46296/ (another near riot)
Women deacons

Exclusive psalmody
http://www.puritanboard.com/f124/th...ing-uninspired-song-use-public-worship-46680/ (not having been familiar with this a year ago, this has been the most contentious issue I've seen debated on threads here. still not sure why)

There is some really good stuff listed here. Scott put something in the suggestion box that refined my thought process a little further.

I'll tell you what. There s very little here that has not been edifying. That does not nean that I agree with everything, but I still apprecatiate it all.
