They might be trying to make it sound like that...but keep in mind that it does say, "summer season"...

We go to branson 4 to 6 times every year....many attractions are open year round or with very short (like 2 to 4 weeks) off time...silver collar city is open most of the year.

Most of the main shows that do take 2 months or so off after their Christmas season, usually open back up by mid-March (presley's, baldknobbers, etc...) so...

I am inclined to believe that this reference is more about "come to our meeting and take a branson vacation" than it is about "Branson is safe this time of year". Advertising the attractions will be open is an additional incentive to boost their crowd...I mean only us branson die hards would go there when all of the main shows are not open...but of coarse some of our favorite shows are the year round shows that are in the smaller venues....

i agree. i've only been during the summer and of course went for all of the entertainment stuff but it seems like why else would they choose branson...especially a conference for families (kids) except to give them something else to do. but do they claim to preach against amusement parks?

I have been to Branson enough to realize that for some reason Branson "gets a pass" among the UC Pentecostals...

They just seem to have a loophole that allows Branson attractions...of coarse NOT the waterparks and stuff...but the other attractions--yes....

I think you all have the wrong picture in your mind of the men who have formed this group.

JMHO... but I am not aware that the majority stand against Branson or Six Flags over where ever or any other "Family" entertainment venue.

My impression when I read the footnote was that they were saying we will be there right BEFORE the busy season starts so the traffic won't be quite as bad and the weather (hopefully) will be getting pretty nice.

I guess it is all in how you look at folks and what you expect to see when you look. Whether looking for good or bad usually neither is disappointed.

I really don't think Jesus would be all involved in the politics of religion that goes on today...His style would not make Him a popular speaker...sandals and a beard????Taking time to speak to the women and children??? He didn't fit their Talmud thinking in His day and would not fit it today...
However business as usual will be carried on in the midst of a time where millions are hungry for the bread of life. Most prefer inside the castle...all those dirty hungry people of our world are not seen inside...

Sounds like a real burden for souls doesn't Sis.

Have you seen some of the pricey fashions their wives and daughter's wear?

That's what you call "selective holiness"

Now Rev, we all are guilty of this accusation... even your high holiness himself, Diamond Jim!

Very true... and it does open the last day of the conference... I am sure not accident. They can stay a few extra days and enjoy the worldly ammusement!
