Elder I did hear some men were meeting this comes straight. Two friends of ours were invited. One said he might go but was not interested in forming another group. The names are common to us those having this meeting.

Rumors....what will they say next?
This is my point exactly on this thread....rumors are just that rumors...

They might just start a rumor that a Branson meeting is happening to discuss why every UC has gotten divorced......

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?

Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Maybe KP isn't invited to the party ... but there's always the Branson retreat.

I've got a feeling that someone has told you something they heard from someone else who heard it from someone else, who heard it ... well, you get the idea.
The Pentecostal grapevine does have some interesting twists! I don't think it is intentional lying but someone says something and by the time it gets repeated the fourth or fifth time it is something completely different.

It can go from "I bet Booker turned in his credentials immediately after GC" to "Booker turned in his credentials immediately after GC" pretty quickly. Amazing what a difference leaving out a word or two can make.

BTW - After thinking it over I wanted to advise you that I bet all you have to do to be accepted by the ultra cons who left a few years before you is to bad mouth the UPC enough and they will be willing to embrace you!

Larry Booker, BJ Wilmouth, Steve Buxton and Clifford Clark have all turned in their cards, I asked for confirmation and the source seem reliable. This will cause some reverberations in the Western District for sure.

Maybe in the new Southern California District, of which they are all a part of now.

Seeing how only one of the men you mentioned was seen at conference, it really does not surprise me. I am expecting more names.

The actions of some surprise me...when you know the actions of some of them.

If this has already been asked and answered...I'll get to it...

But what would that be?
