Charging for attendance will be a burr for some, but I understand why they are doing it. Any other conference you attend charges registration.
I disagree, as it goes against the guidelines for voting in the manual. Why not do this for every resoulution - including ministerial dues increases? I guarantee you, you'll never see that one happen.

I'm not for sure what that means.

Classic example of a preacher not being able to judge correctly.

I understood that it wasn't going to count as the vote though. However, if it doesn't count as a vote, then why do it?

The results will be mixed.

As with any product offered, the commitment to advertising is key. A small sampling will simply not be adequate to get a real feel for it's potential success or failure.

There will be no real "finding". There will only be opinions as to how it would affect us. Look for a lot of emotional hand-wringing and postulating in the next month or two.

I know this may be hard to fathom, but the intensity of this discussion has not peaked yet. It's about to get gory. This has the potential to be a much bigger organizational split than I would have ever imagined.

By publishing 10 men, five on each side, we are asking for further polarization. This is a disaster in the making. Batten down the hatches, a mammoth storm is on the horizon.

It will not count as a vote.....just info about the heartbeat of the whole ministering body BEFORE the vote of those present.

Like that will change anything.

What I think is unfair is the pastors of small churches that are unable to attend GC and can't vote to have a say.

Exactly, it circumvents the process, and puts pressure on the voting quorum
at GC. If the voting bloc does not follow the "survey" of all ministers, look for a cry to go up in Egypt - such has never been heard before.
