So Friend, I have some respect for you, but your credibility has taken a hit here.
Could it be that your bias clouded your judgement?
Again, I was banned over that whole conversation (a first for me), but I still feel just as strongly as I did back then that these men fully intended to do what they are doing now.
How else can you explain Kevin Prince as the only anti-tv speaker on the floor of GC this year.
LB was silent.
JG was silent.
NW was silent.
If this issue was so important, why the silence?
The answer is clear.
They already had a plan.

PP, I can only speak those things which I 'see and hear' and what I was told -from the coordinator himself - is that it wouldn't be an 'organization' as such was EXACTLY what I was told by the individual. His precise words, beyond that, were that "What we're doing is NOTHING that will mandate turning in your license with the UPC. We're forming a network of fellowship between conservative minded men."
I'm not so sure that they are defining it as an organization, a network or a fellowship.
As for Bro. Prince being the speaker against the resolution? It was he who was the representative of the anti-TV advertising crowd and, as such, the one designated to speak and asked for from the floor.
Outside of that there wasn't much conversation on either side and a quick call for the question. That no more means this was a premeditated genesis of a new organization than the fact that you didn't speak FOR it was a premeditated act by yourself to start an organization of your own.
And, as for my credibility? I make myself of no reputation and my life is before enough people that it's an open book. For what it's worth, I think enough people on AFF know me and respect me that I'm not in any danger of being excommunicated anytime soon.
No, PP, if my unwillingness to devour either side of this equation is wrong then, well, I'm guilty as sin. If, however, I'm right in not devouring my brothers... well... it would appear a lot of others are in serious trouble.
For the record, I'll take my chances right where I am.
