Re: Shopping for General Conference
ugh. General Conference. It's already costing me and it won't start for a week.
Spiritual people could do a "conference" thing on the Internet and save time, money and souls.

They could do video conferencing. Video over IP. My company equipment can do over 200 sites at a time.

Re: Shopping for General Conference
The most beautiful baby girl in the world arrived this morning. Autumn Elizabeth, came into this world in God's most glorious apparel.
If we really want to impress God, we must have a contrite heart and a right spirit.
Who cares what someone wears to a conference? Let people spend what they want, wear what they want. But let our heart and spirit be right.

Congrats on the new baby!
Mercifully, the GC attendees will spend a bit more on their outfits than Autumn did on hers.

Yes, but we must admit it starts before baby's are born. The spending money on apparel that is. Sooooo, we shouldn't judge what someone wears anywhere.  And as any service, we get out of it what we went into it expecting.

Well, I'm going in expecting folks to notice ME! in my pin-striped double breasted zoot suit and comb over hair weave.

It was a mind blowing thing to me. Literally no one was milling around in the halls or restrooms, unless absolutely necessary - everyone was trying hard to get a front seat. It was my first clue that someone outside of my little box MIGHT be saved.

Oh, it's just ironic that's all. Fact is, many of us don't talk much about clothing, but it's their Top 3 subjects. Irony all around.

Re: Shopping for General Conference
Well, aren't some of the reasons for GC:
to show others up with your clothes
to talk to other pastors about swapping churches
to make contacts and bookings for your ministry
political and positional jockeying for power and prestige
to listen to certain "star" preachers go through their cheerleading demonstrations to see who can have the most people on their feet clapping, whistling, and cheering
to "score" chicks
to see how many people can be dragged in on the last night for the big Holy Ghost Baptism count
