4. My stand on divorce and remarriage in the ministry would prohibit me from joining since already they have an official in that situation.
But the main reason is I don't see the need because;
The AMC meeting is open to Apostolic Conservative preachers without any affiliation.
The IAM Foundation supports missions where the missionary gets 100% of the missions money.
The Apostolic Compass fills the gap for a Conservative publication.
There are camps-conferences-youth meetings nearly beyond number besides anniverary services Bill Gates would go broke going to all of them. So fellowship among conservatives is in abundance.
I believe religious organization as we have known it is obsolete with the technology and means of travel we have today. I really think God is through with it for I cannot think of much of a service it provides.

Thank you very much for your honest and open answer!

You are a wise man.

I think you're one hundred percent correct.

The Church of Christ has existed and pretty much thrived for two hundred years or so with absolutely no structure as far as headquarters, national, district and sectional officials and official national conferences.

Colleges and publishing houses have sprung up, some with a more liberal and others with a more conservative bent.

Men fellowship and give their money where they feel comfortable and draw their own lines.

Bloated religious organizational structure is a thing of the past.

I honestly think it is a waste of time-energy-money. That's just me.
