I just don't know what to think about some things anymore. We talk about worldliness. I think we buy into it and don't even realize what's happening. It goes so beyond hair, makeup and pants ...... or not.

Some of the women were shocking also!

Makeup abounds at GC ... who are we kidding???

Let us not forget that a couple of different times the issue of whether or not to make GC an every other year event for cost sutting measures was soundly defeated.

Better sound systems, recordings, video, internet streaming and just the economy things being more expensive,.

BTW TV mentioned attendance dropping....for a $25 entrance fee? I bet a lot of folks an save that much on all the fattening pepsi or the movies rentals etc etc...$25 is nothing compared to the dollar amounts they ask for at our Campmeeting just to pay for it. I'd gladly pay a $25 dollar fee to attend the GC

Could be. But if GC would fulfill the purpose it is intended for then it would not be for the purpose of "impressing."

But how do you solve the problem then? A cost cutting measure is put forth and defeated. Then folks complain about the cost. Go figure...

You're not kidding ... but who's fault is that .... it's become a dog and pony show ... because it's planned as one ...
