Tulsa Report Day One

[chseeads]

It's really all just a punch of political poo. That's about the long and the short of it.

I know they tried some new things; you would expect some of those things to be received well and others not to be repeated. What things did you have a problem with?

Did you know that this young lady, http://www.prphotos.com/store/catego...hleen%20Herles

was heralded at youth congress as someone our young ladies would want to pattern their lives after? It wasn't as if I was looking for "dirt" and it wasn't hard to find, a simple search brought this up.

Is that tally correct? Too high, too low? Brother Craft preached but nothing was said about the message. What tone did he take? Anything noteworthy said?

Just trying to catch up here. Thanks.

I posted that Bro Craft was preaching b/c of a text./...
actually he was just speaking
all 7 (if you include Bro Craft) spoke last night....and I'm sure that they all "preached" a lil bit...

1000-1200 is a conservative guess

another stat said 1500 - 1600...

I would be comfortable saying that there was 1000 there last night...

they don't preach folks who preach for Pastors they consider more liberal....

I think CO-Exist means you can still buy my books, have me preach for you and we can use your name....but fellowship..."well we choose WHO we will fellowship based upon our "Preferred Apostolic" future.....we won't preach folks like Mangun, Haney or Stoneking and any others we deem not "Preferred"....

But there are some up and coming folks we would like to have join our group...

we can co-exist but will only do so at arms length...

There is a reason they aren't slamming the UPC or any other....they can't afford to....

imo....

Lord Bless you my brother...

The service lasted so late not much was posted I will try to catch today as soon as some relevant new is forthcoming. A friend who is pretty good at numbers said the count would have been closer to about 1200 mostly men.
However the CAF was filled men who did not make it for last night's service but would be there for today. There were some prominent GIB's there so I don't know what that means? With large churches.

However, these same folk have long ago stopped allowing their youth to attend youth camps and such, choosing to conduct their own events.

So some things just don't make sense...

I didn't know that, but now maybe communication will be easier. Why send a flyer to churches that don't want to attend, I would want to be on the mailing list. So I can send my children. We have been in hotels with bible quizzers, and I'm not trying to start a debate on what you can or can't sleep in, but rather than confine girls in pajamas, (and in my opinion it is pants) to the hotel room, the chaperones weren't keeping the girls in the rooms, they weren't dressed whether in gowns or pajamas, but they were quiet comfortable walking down to breakfast etc.... I don't want my daughters to question.

What is CAF? Who are GIB's?

I think these men have a group of people that already appreciated their position and ministry, with things as close as they are in the voting constituency, who knows how the tides will turn
