Need advice? I'm your man.

Without my sense of balance and deep wisdom, AFF would crumble around our very ears.

On which weighty matter may I consult with you today?

Wise one, speak the future to us!

What is a 10 year future analysis for the UPCI?

You have the floor.

*I can confidently state without fear or equivocation, that within the next 10 years the UPC will either grow, shrink, or stay the same.

*It will either become more liberal, more conservative, or will stay the same.

*There will be some who advertise on television, and some who won't.

*There will be some who have television, and some who won't, and some will wear a bag over their head when they walk past the televisions in Best Buy on their way to get a faster internet card.

*There will be some women who cut their hair, some who won't, and some who won't even wash their hair for fear of washing the glory out.

*There will be some men who wear facial hair, and some who won't, and some who take an electric razor to work to shave every 5 minutes, just to be safe, making sure that the evil facial hair doesn't even get a small foothold.

*There will be some churches that grow, some that shrink, and some that stay the same. Some will stay in the organization, some will leave, and others will feel strongly both ways.

*There will most definitely be a new General Superintendent, I think, maybe, possibly, but maybe not.

*There will be liberals and conservatives and moderates and extremists, and sometimes they may not be mutually exclusive.

Now, hopefully, you'll understand now why they call me the guru.

Let me summarize, and correct me if I'm wrong.

*You did not go to Tulsa.

*You are basing your assumption that God is not there on the fact that they didn't allow filming of any type, camera, digital device, cell phone, etc.

*From that, you likened them to hiding behind a wall, and you are having to look thru the hole in the wall, presumably because there's no video for you to watch.

*So, you use an "Anvil hard" scripture to make the ludicrous claim that "God is not there".

So, my interpretation of your argument is, "Since they will not allow anyone to record their services, they are like the evil children of Israel that worship idols behind walls, and henceforth God is not there"

Did I misinterpret anything?

Keep working at it. You are about 60 percent there. Hahaha...

How can God be there? You and I were not? Hear say is not admissible in the court of law. You know how people misrepresent the truth. "No pot is as black as our pot."

You were probably home watching t.v., and I was probably on this dumb computer wondering why the guys in white are looking for me with a straight-jacket while I am trying to make sense of all this confusion.

Anyway, so I over stepped the bounds of sanity a half inch, tomorrow is another day. Who knows, I may have been right after all. The wife says that I over step by a country mile some time.
