Re: The Next General Superintendant of the UPC Wil

Some are really concerned with how much has been lost since he's been the Sup. Not that it is his fault, it just happened while he was in. In Toronto Conference, we lost about a million people in Ethiopia. In the Tampa Conference we are still loosing from that. The budget shortfalls, the PPH mishaps, etc. These are grave concerns for everyone. He will get the blame for stuff that happened whether or not he had anything to do with it.

Interesting how you compared the GS to an OT King, an office that is out of the true order of God. Only given to pacify the wickedness of mens hearts.

After several contested ballots, I think the Conference in 2012 will choose ... Marilyn Gazowsky!
Now that would be somethin'!

The current GC would then pull a giant lever to start the computerized slot machine reels spinning. He would keep pulling that lever until the name of the new GS appeared on all three reels, centerline!

In case this takes some time you could kill two birds with one stone by taking up that big offering that usually takes an hour or so at the same time.
Or have the candidates pull it, $1 a spin?

Like I SAID, I knew someone here would have something negative to say about my idea. The point is, it really doesn't matter who is in charge of an org whether by vote, annointing oil, or casting lots, someone like you is goig to have something to say about it as you've proven my point.
