Voted On And Passed By General Board This Morning!

I like the suggestion of GC in St. Louis every year... Saves a lot in hotel expenses... There is plenty to do in St. Louis and surrounding areas... They may be able to turn a proffit... I believe some of the major denominations have their major conferences in the same place every year and not many if any complain. St. Louis is a central location for the United States, the Bible College could house some missionaries to help alleviate some expenses. The top enchiladas can stay home. The only drawback is the bigwigs won't get an all expenses paid vacation each year.

It's logical, it makes sense. I wonder how many would go for it...

St. Louis is a great city. Resturants-sites-airport assessable. The wigs already there. Get the PAW to help sponser.

They could sponser "Open Ring Night" with all the D.S. and the local pastors paying an entrance fee to go a 'few rounds' with whomever they so choose....

I remember the place was full.

I was there too. Freedom hall where they had the conference maxes out at 19k. There weren't 19k there any time that I was there. Actually, with the configuration they were using it probably would be more like 15K - and there weren't 15k people in the arena.

This $25 poll tax is a great idea, and this is the perfect year to extort it from conference attendees.

With the television issue on the agenda there's sure to be a large number of ministers in attendance, and, if they can hold the vote over until the second day, they'll all have to pay to vote.

With the conference being held in reasonable proximity to Disney World giving pastors the opportunity for a church funded family vacation, if they attend conference, there will be another whole block of people that will have to hand over the $25.

The only way that this scheme could be any better would be if they charged by the pound instead of by the person. (At $1/lb, the platform alone would make a huge dent in the deficit.)

What's next literacy tests and grandfather clauses???
