Pastor forced to leave by cops @Tulsa Meeting

[bishoph]

The structure of WPF is as follows:

The EC (Executive Council) 6: The chairmen (currently Bro. J Godair) will serve for two years after which they will leave the EC. (The original 6 will serve as honorary members for life but will have no voting power as honorary members)

To replace the EC members, nominations will be taken, and the top three names will be placed in the proverbial hat and one will be chosen. Any EC member must "sit out" for two years before they would be eligible to be nominated again. The EC votes within itself as to who the chairman will be.

On the GC (General Council) 49: Every 2 years 7 members vacate and 7 new members are elected. The vacating GC member must "sit out" two years before they can be nominated again.

To replace those 7, nominations will be taken from the floor, and the top seven names will replace the outgoing members. In the event of a tie for seventh place, those names who tied will be placed in the "hat" and one chosen.

This is the initial framework, however, all members (not just pastors) have the right to present resolutions, (and vote) which if passed can alter any portion of the bylaws and/or Articles of Faith.

Any idea of how long Resolution #4 would have lasted?
(I know the answer)

Thank you for the update here. I was going off of old info prior to the meeting.
