Just curious, I just read something on Facebook about a particular "oneness organization" sadly giving approval for all pastors/preachers/members to have televisions, aka "the one eyed debbil" in their homes...I would like to know what else is brewing among folks around those parts, how it is positioned if true, and other issues...

Is there a dedicated thread to GC news?
We may have lost our insiders...or at least, those willing to post constant updates.

Wow, small room. My parents took me to GC every year from when I was born until before I moved out of the house at 18; I went the next couple years after that with friends. I remember when there were 16 to 20K at conference. Doesn't look like there could be more than 5 or 6 thousand in that pic.
I wonder how moving it to St. Louis has impacted the ability - or willingness - of people to travel. I wouldn't think it should, considering it's actually more central than some other locations like Lexington, Greensboro, etc. But you're right, it looks like a much smaller venue than in the past. We haven't gone for the last few years.
I'm interested to hear more about the resolution passing. Unfortunately my "inside person" had a medical emergency and had to cancel travel plans at the last minute. I find it a fascinating study on the shift in the UPCI toward consistency and logic in just a decade. Give it 25 more years and they might actually start recognizing other fallacies and inconsistency of other "outward" standards such as hair, pants, and jewelry.

I know St. Louis is where the HQ is, but I remember the GC there in 1986 and it was a terrible venue. Looked a lot like the picture, in fact. One would think St. Louis' central location would attract more people, but IMO TX would be a better choice. I remember the San Antonio GC years ago...it was packed out. I think the last GC I went to was the one here in PHX, AZ.

In other words, they'll be no different than the COG or AOG.
