General Conference Service

An offering?? You've got to be kidding.

Each couple already paid $150 to register and attend and now they want another $100,000? good grief

Your right...it could be like TBN and say "we need 15,000,000!

Give me a break.....
100,000 is nothing.

I hope they scan the crowd- I'd like to get a good take on what the attendance is like this year

Attendance is horrible this year. I just got home after driving up. All stairways to the "balcony" are blocked off. When you're inside the service, there are black drapes that hang from the ceiling, all the way down to the lower seating of the "balcony." The appearance giving is that there is only sitting on the floor and the main section of seats on three sides, so the "room" looks more smaller, thus it looks fuller with people in it.

Regardless, I could see many empty seats.

Oh, and I was heartened to see a couple of members of the WWPF Executive Council at Conference. I even got their pictures.

I was told that attendance was not as "horrible" as you made it out to be by several who are there.

I've been to many General Conferences in my short and meager life. It's not what it used to be.

I have never seen a coliseum draped before like it was tonight, and I've never seen so many empty seats, especially on the night the General Superintendent speaks.
