No you are wrong. The PRIMARY concept for the oprganization (Any religious organization) is evangilisim! It allows churches to come together to evagelize and the cost is not as much as it would be for a single church.

To follow the rules as they are laid out, you HAVE to agree to the rules of the organization if you are a minister and want to join. They prohibit a minister from owning a television...which is stupid. Most own one already. And let's turn that around on you...no one is forcing the people that do not agree with owning TV's to stay in the organization either! I hope they leave and the majority can make other rules and get rid of these idiotic rules.

Don't know what you are posting about there, but yes, it takes time (if that is what you are referring to) to make changes in an organization...but to me...these changes are long overdue.
