You have to solve this, by you inviting and you teaching.

I think it sounds like someone is using their brain. Great idea to present both sides and send out a vote to everyone.

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 agree but I would think the night services should at least be free.

why does it have to solve anything? Statistically door knocking has a low % of success. From what I read. Should we ban this?

I dont have to knock on any doors to invite my co-workers and family to church...

I personally thing advertising on tv is a waste of money

preaching on tv, sure it might get the "message" out there for some random couch potato to hear as they flip through the channel....but IMO, it would be like the situation with my mother in law - she watches Joyce Meyer on tv sometimes, and really enjoys it - but she won't come to church...she's convicted about coming to church, but not b/c of anything Joyce Meyer says or does. She just feels good about herself when she watches and feels justified. She feels conviction about attending church b/c she sees how it has changed her son and the impact living for God has had on his life, and how God is blessing and helping him every day...and she understands the need to be saved...I think that if she saw some UPC preacher on tv, it wouldnt move her to come to church, it would scratch some itch she has and make her feel like she's done something good and is somehow excused from having to commit to anything.

I just think if we are talking statistics, preaching on tv will be about as effective as door knocking....

I think the $25.00 charge is ridiculous.

maybe so...but I think the cost to put on General Conference has risen while attendance has decreased and I suspect offerings arent covering expenses...

I'd like to see how much expense cutting they have done first - perhaps they should consider smaller venues....other things they could do before charging a fee.

And maybe they have done this...

is the $25 a one time charge or a daily thing?

charging a fee to the attendee shouldnt be their first solution to offset expenses...IMO..all that does is further decrease attendance and of course your offerings decrease...

Yeah, but that was for MISSIONS not general expenses. I wonder how much of that actually came in or will come in?

The "Million Dollar March" was not to pay for General Conference.
