Re: The loss of a General Board Member

When the General Board member stood up and said he was leaving ...

HE told the board, and I paraphrase, "Gentleman, the WPF isn't being formed just because of TV. There is a concern amongst more conservative minded men, of what we see as a drifting from Apostolic holiness values."

An insider says it was done in a good spirit and that after he made his comments that several men went and hugged him and were very kind.... Apparently there was no bickering over this ...

Dan,

This is my thoughts as well. Some seem bent on "prophesying" eminent civil war. I think Bro. Kings humble actions as well as the GB's do actually demonstrate the absence of the animosity that some want here.

I obviously am not an eyewitness, (I humbly stand corrected) I was only recounting (concerning his resignation) what I had been told. Never the less I think the point here, is that from every account, there was a good spirit which prevailed and was exemplified though brotherly love and mutual respect.

Having said that I do take issue with the above post. This post promotes the erroneous idea that Bro. King left the GB meeting in some kind of "victim" mentality or display. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Bro. King has reported that the GB made their decision after much prayer and healthy discussion. There was no mean spirit displayed by either side. (the rest of this is reported by others) After the GB made their final decision on the matter by way of voting, Bro. King addressed the GB with all humility, and after his subsequent resignation, the GB gathered around him and all of them prayed for him. It was a very amicable and noble departure, not one hewn with animosity and innuendo.

There are no card burning meetings planned, and if someone even tried such a thing, they would be immediately expelled from the WPF roster as that kind of attitude and spirit is totally against what the WPF stands for. JMHO
I like that.

WOW... that's exactly the way it was when I left the last church I was in before I started a church... that good spirit lasted until the door closed behind me.

It was the author of the AS Resolution who had said that. I heard it myself. FWIW.

The idea was to obviously equate those who would be "forced out" with something vile and unclean. I repeat the comment because there are those who used to be on AFF who heard the same or similar things from this source but kept insisting that the AS was done in a good spirit. It is helpful to remind these guys from time to time of what that spirit really was. Even though many of them were there, they insist upon exercising a selective memory.

Also FWIW, I saw one fellow rather prominently in some of the WPF photos who was with me and heard the same thing cited above and it was all he could do to keep from falling on the floor laughing at the comment. He had to turn his head and bury his face in the crook of his arm and snickered convulsively.
