General Conference in Tampa: The Full Report

[ThePastorsCoach]

Hey Deacon Blues - Thanks for the incredible word pictures of the gulf and your vacation! I may be in Memphis for the Convocation - not sure yet.

Well - here goes - no matter what the vote it - who votes - who don't - Here is my opinion - for what it is.

I never saw one vote that counted for anything while in the UPC. From the Sectional and District level all the way to the National level.
The decisions were already made. I saw NAU decide what was going to happen and who got what on many occasions. They don't care what the vote is - they have already decided the outcome of every election and every decision has already been made before you even got there.

This TV thing has already been decided and if any of you think your vote matters - you are sadly mistaken. You have a GS and his staff and then the General Board meets BEFORE the GC :sshhh that decides those things and then they let you vote and then tell you what THEIR DECISION IS!
Thats the way I see if from the nose bleed section!

I paid and watched last year but last year I was alone in my office at work and could - but this year I have company at home and a co-worker in the office

I'll just have to depend on the text play by play and photos from my mom LOL

So, this year's vote is in. 1065 yes, 982 no. 2047 votes cast. How many voters were on the floor?
