QUESTION: DId only 72 or 225 join WPF???????
 
If this is not so please state what the real numbers are.

Disclaimer: I am NOT stating this as fact but rather asking the Question.

I heard from an official's wife and another pastor today that only 72 have joined WPF ?????

Now, if that is NOT true, I can assure you that is the word that is going around the UPC.

Either this is the ultimate irony or perhaps someone has confused somewhat ancient history with current happenings.

A pastor friend told me there was only about 70 that signed up. I find that believeable because most went to to Tulsa with a "wait and see" mindset. Another ultra-con elder who went to Tulsa thinking he would join has made the statement they have a long ways to go to be an organization.

I understand that the Majority of those in attendance were independant and not UPC???????

If there had been hundreds, as was enthusiatically postulated to me, I would think we would have heard about it.

The silence may be significant.

Steadfasts' or The Dean's report (I get them confused) was that the leaders had to schedule Sunday speakers to stay over and process all of the applications.

I know, that is what would it make ironic and a little hard to believe if they both started with exactly the same number of members. The odds of that would be pretty staggering.

The SS letter said they raised about $100k on Friday night. If they get another 72 like that they should be fine.

I wonder how they screen applicants? How do they know the WPF is clean, and there are no "leakers" getting past the gates?

How is doctrinal purity ascertained? What if the Executive Council members have no idea who an applicants three mentors are?

It probably is a huge task, regardless of the number of applications.

It just occured to me what took them so long to process 72 applications... They hooked each one of them up and gave them a polygraph test... No leakers there...

Actually 200 filled out apps, but only 72 passed the polygraph... The question most failed:::: Have you watched TV since Tampa, or any Wild, Wild West videos on your laptop...

they got ipod, iphone, ithis and ithat. Im working on ispy. Slip ir into a prayer cloth or in the coats in the coat rack and bingo! you can keep up with saints.

I figure this will go over great. TV's, Video machines, glass front washing machines, christmas trees and tylenol. It will have to be audio only as i dont believe in any moving pictures.

i take away the temptation on the computer cause i only have 14.4 dialup and im on a party line with my saints

72 members with an average age of 70 yrs old you are probably not going to able to keep from having some "leakers."

Speaking of Y2K, we had a church in CA. where the pastor instructed all his members to buy guns to hunt and live off the land. He told them all to buy tents and survival gear. they were planning to flee to the woods and live up in the mountains.

his wife wrote a cook book on how to kill and cook wild game. one of her recipes was "Possumm stew". she even told how to marinate it to get the "wild taste out of it LOL
