Hard choice.

How will the UPC enforce this when the membership of the WPF has not yet been published? At Tulsa, there were only six members - the exec. council.
While they claim several hundred now, only they know the names. How will the UPC (at this point) know who carries more than one fellowship card???
Add it to the AS? "...and I do not carry any other cards".

The UPC leadership has not handled this well from the beginning, IMHO.

The pruning process will take time SL ... of course ... but the lines are drawn and that's what will exacerbate this situation.

It is odd to me but none the less, true.

I think he will likely always be a factor of some kind, but never the guy.
Forgotten but runs the day-to-day operations.

Re: No Double Dipping? General Board votes agains

Another feasible theory floating around is that DRAWING THE LINES is exactly what progressives want and only solidfies their plans for the future. The Trojan Horse theory.

KH and the men who will make up the leadership in the next generation have been frustrated by many of these UCs because they have been held back from being as progressive as they want to be. (Of course we can't use liberal in the OP sense of the word)

By forcing these guys out, and lets assume the number is conservatively 200, this effectively builds a stronger voting bloc for progressive ideas.

The TV vote had what? 2500 ministers voting? The split was 49% 51%? It passed by a slim majority of about 80 votes.

Change those numbers by 200 and the progressives have a lock to further their agenda.

I meant it to describe those in the meeting pushing hard for this as houw you exemplified. See bolded.

IMO, JJ is very ambitious, Lady LPW. Nor do I doubt his commitment to serve.

to a man, these guys have spoken loudly and often about the lack of integrity in the men who sign the Infernal Document but own Televisions.

I cannot see how a single one of these men can live with themselves if they violate the rule in the UPCI, considering their view of the UPCIs rules in the past.

and that is as straight a line as you can draw!
ooo ... that there is a conundrum ... the rule of law crowd now will have to eat some crow.

I don't doubt his ambition or commitment to serve either, but I do doubt he's crying himself to sleep at night because he's not GS. I can't see him being driven to be in power... he doesn't strike me as that type at all.

Our DS is a very committed man, who serves us to the best of his ability. But he only took the DS job (for the second time, after being off that duty for a few years) because that was what the brethren wanted. I imagine JJ would accept the GS position if voted in, and serve well.

I think "ambition" can be a good thing in the right dose. It is those who let ambition become the focus of their lives that end up in a ditch.
