Having just concluded a telephone conversation...this question came up.

With the passage of Res 4.....

Do you think it will be just a matter of time until a resolution is presented to do away with the Affirmation Statement??

I mean think about it.....
Looks like we are going to lose the FAR right.....which was the mastermind behind that Infernal thing to begin with....

Does that not mean the doing away with the AS would be a given down the road?

Just wondering.

I for one know alot of men that would love to come back IF that thing was done away with.

Some from my own family I am sure....

What say YE?

I don't think Brother Haney would want that to be on the docket inthe next few years. Let time pass and then we can see what may come of the AS.

I say where do I sign up to vote to remove the blasted thing!

No A.S.! No A.S.!

Maybe not...BUT I do think it will eventually go down.

This is already being debated about. I hope the organization revisits the abominable AS and corrects the mistake it made by passing it.

I do happen to think that it will go away, not that i'll be around to see it.

It's just a matter of time. :gclock

I fully expect the affirmation statement to be removed.

However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is such a problem for some people. You sign the very same thing when you get license in the first place.

I know people don't do it much anymore, but when I was a kid, we used to say the Pledge of Allegiance every day. Why does it hurt to reaffirm once every two years that you still believe what you believed when you joined?

I'm sorry, but I just don't get why the "AS" is a "blasted" "infernal" thing. Someone help me out here.

Because in theory it was to Unite the fellowship, but it divided the group. OR Maybe that was the point was to weed out the progressive ones. I believe that there would be alot more members in the Fellowship/Organization if the blasted, infernal thing never came up. IMO
