Yes, it is unrealistic.
These guys set up rules for others to obey.
They themselves don't have to follow them.

1 Then Jesus said to the crowds, and to his disciples, 2 You would think these Jewish leaders and these Pharisees were Moses, the way they keep making up so many laws! 3 And of course you should obey their every whim! It may be all right to do what they say, but above anything else, don't follow their example. For the don't do what they tell you to do. 4 They load you with impossible demands that they themselves don't even try to keep.
Matthew 23:1-4 TLB

Wow!!! Great comment! It is true that what seems to me is that the Tulsa meeting is about a group of men who won't obey what the organization they claim to love has passed. And the original post on this thread states that it will go down. I'm not happy about it, but it shows me that this group of men are like the little boy who comes playing football, the only problem is he brought the football. And when he gets upset, or things don't go his way, he takes his football and goes home. " Yeah, that's how we'll get back at those liberals, we'll start our own organization" Great post, I enjoyed it!
