You know... I'd been happy if they'd had Elmer Fudd preach the conference,I just needed to get away and have a good time and good church.As for the same speakers I don't care if they have the same 6-8 speakers at our conferences in Ok.The average saint does'nt get to go to every conference like you preachers do,we have jobs and have to work.

Ouch!

I feel the same way...I usually don't really care who's speaking at Ladies' Conference...I just enjoy the relaxation, and the services just for girls, and the hotel room late night coffee and conversation with my friends.

Jeff really wanted to go. I hope he gets to go next year. He could've used a break, too.

Although it is true that Ok usually keeps the same pool of speakers coming back...I don't know why IAM doesn't see that this is indicative of the entire Apostolic movement as a whole:

BOTT--same group for decades pretty much
PSR/ARK/AMC--same group of speakers on rotation pretty much
Gen Conf--same group pretty much every year or so
All other district events around the states--same group pretty much every year or so

It is not unusual to see the

....Coon/Mangun/Huntley/Arnold/Haney/Cunningham/Mooney/Jones/Stoneking/Godair/Foster/Morton/Keyes/Wilson/Booker/White (just for steadfast)...

pool used in regular intervals across the board.

Although there is a great wealth of good speakers never heard from on the conference circuit, who can blame the committees for going after a recognized circuit rider!

I have laughed about this with my wife...but you know as well as I do that a recognized name brings the wanted crowd...and a crowd brings the needed offering!
