The Ever-Increasing Power of the District Board

My thoughts exactly.

Headquarters allows local-level decision making on this, and people find fault... now we hear that local "fiefdoms" are being created.

If HQ had retained the decision making ability to themselves, people would have complained that they didn't allow the local districts to decide this.

*sigh*

Thats why in life you just have to just do what you think is best, because there's always going to be someone who can find fault with whatever decision you make.

I think rules should be two-fold.

1. minimal

2. consistent

That's all.

I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to the UPC, forums like this will always have fault-finders who will find reason to pick on every little thing about the organization... even dumb stuff.

Perhaps it would be better to erase every rule and start all over again?

Has that ever been done in a religious org of this size?

Good grief. How am I a hater?
If you think I'm a hater then I guess you're not really paying attention, buddy, or maybe you just dont know what the word means.

Its the real haters and fault finders who I find irritating.
