Where did you read they were charging ministers to enter the business meetings? I don't think that has even been addressed. I read, it is to enter the arena for the services.

Perhaps you haven't been reading? You can get into the first day of business without paying.
I'm sure the Conservative Block will offer to pay the registration for anybody who will affirm that they will vote against television.

We are really talking about $3 a service. I do think it would be different if they charged $100 though. But, $25? I don't think we will see a drop in attendance.

(however, I do like Daniel's idea of growing a beard and getting a "special pass" LOL! J/K!)

SoCali!!! I never said that or even intimated it. I don't expect any drop in attendance either -- not at all. That's not what I was getting at! Arrghh!

I was trying to figure out what kind of $$$ this will bring to the coffers.

I was using a figure of 12,000 but that's way too high. I was thinking of overall attendance with that figure but the number of registered preachers wouldn't be that high.

Come on bro. Don't assign motive where there is none.

Oh so after I pay my dues and tithes I should not have a vote?

But any real business is usually not until the second day.

Even if it's 10,000 that's only half of what VBlackwell said they run in the deficit each year.

I do know the attendance has declined in the past few years.

Has really nothing to do with him being "conservative". I would be considered conservative by most on the board (except by Bro. Epely, you, and Whole Hearted). It has to do with his very negative attitude about the UPC.

if they would hold the thing at a more convenient LOCATION for the masses...it might be better attended...

Cant we choose a more central location? Where has it been in the last few years...Canada....now Tampa, Salt Lake....Talk about extremes

seriously - cant they have it where some folks could even drive in if they needed? Not fly and have to rent a car or depend on other transportation?
