Something I don't understand.... they clearly state on their website that they already have a 501(c)(3) status. From my limited knowledge (and I've been wrong before), this takes some time to acquire. So are they using the 501(c)(3) that has already been established by one of the churches involved? Or did they apply for one and already go through the government hoops to obtain one quite a while before actually publicizing the formation of their new "organization" (for lack of a better term)? - that would mean that they had all their ducks were in a row BEFORE General Conference.... :stirpot

Feel free to correct me if you have more knowledge about how obtaining a 501(c)(3) status works and I'm wrong on the time it takes.... :tiphat

Swee Pea,

You're exactly correct. A complete 501(c)(3) filing is quite detailed and the approval process is extensive. If I were to guess, I would guess they are using an existing 501(c)(3) organization's documentation until their documentation is approved. But this is only a guess...

I have an interesting observation...originally it was said (by KP I believe) that the Tulsa location was picked because it was the best place they found to RENT space for the conference...."The Green Country Event Center"

On the flier it says that the services will be held at their HEADQUARTERS--"THE GREEN COUNTRY EVENT CENTER"...

I rarely go to that part of town (31st and Hwy 169 area) but I am real tempted to go over there now just to see...DID THEY BUY THAT PROPERTY?

If this is the case, what is wrong with this? Why can't one prepare for adverse results? Don't most people carry insurance? Auto, health life?

I did one not to long ago, if you have a competent person such as an accountant, it takes 6-8 weeks, but I agree I think they were lining up their ducks for this move.

From what we are hearing here....the headquarters for this new group will be in Tulsa. Someone can correct me, but the word out here is that Floyd Odom is moving or has moved to Tulsa.

LOL...I'll letcha have that one....

Funny thing, I didn't know about this until my UPC sister told me that the flier said the meeting was at the WPF headquaters.....she was asking me....I'm like, "They rented a meeting hall here because it was the only one available in the mid-west for those dates (according to what was posted oroginally on the forum)"...but the flier (posted on their OFFICIAL website does in fact say, "Held at WPF Headquarters: The Green Country Event Center"...

SOOOOO....

Did they buy that building to headquater out of?

Does this mean we have to put up with them showing up all the time in our eating and shopping establishments? TIC
