* Critical News UPDATE on Tulsa*

[SecretWarrior]

A household name in the UPC was invited to come and speak at a Tulsa committee meeting about missions. They tried to recruit him the whole time he was there. Trying to get him in pics with them (which he refused).

Additional updates on the new organization:
- They are starting a full-fledged ORGANIZATION!

-They have leased a Church of Christ building that has a sanctuary seating 2500 and many offices.

-This will serve their as headquarters.

-They are presently hiring staff.

-Floyd Odom has moved there to serve as full-time administrator.

-they have $50,000 in the bank after all bills paid so far. This just from people sending money in to help with start up costs.

Assuming this is true...I find it odd that many of these men can disfellowship with an Org and other churches and Pastors over the TV issue yet enter into a business contract like this with a COC to lease their building

[Pastor G]

here we go I heard the same thing from very reputable sources

All of this buying and or leasing is pretty assuming you think? They all might find out what assume really means..

I'm not sure, but this could cause a stir in Alex, La the next couple days.

Because of The Times is this week in Alexandria. I have heard the same thing as Secret Warrior about Tulsa. Location wise and building wise.

- What was he doing there to start with as I can see it wasn't to promote Jesus thru missions it was more to see and tell- especially going and then repeating this. I am sure their hearts were broken he wouldn't get in pic's with them- I would be surprised if he didn't cash their honorarium or should I say I am sure he cashed the honorarium without hesitation!

Why go?

If someone is missions minded, they will go anywhere to anyone and promote the cause... Perhaps the ones who invited him had an extra agenda that he didn't go along with... This group has been using names without permission, I am sure they would use pictures without permission as well... For this guy to make sure he stayed out of them was a smart move..

Just because a lot of people on here didn't know this information before it was posted here doesn't mean it was a secret... So for someone to repeat it, whomever it was, is not a problem... I know of a lot of people who knew this info lonf before it was posted...

Do you know he got an honorarium?
Do you know this was secret information?

Do I know any of the last "2" questions is absolutely not any of my business however I do say if you are not of them why go? I do know more than u think or imagine that I know.

Missions- that would be a priority in my knowledge so you wouldn't be telling me anything new? I am sorry to say that it is not the fact you go wherever , whenever for missions-you as well as anyone else involved should and do know better than than!

Not being defensive or trying to be cruel just don't appreciate anyone being a part of something and talking out of the corners of one's mouth

This is sad......."Many" Apostolics would rather split than keep peace with Gods people.
