If I've heard, everyone else in the ERC world knows by now that the date of the special Conference session has been moved back so the legalities of changing the Constitution can be done according to hoyle.
What a joke!
Call this one The FLY BY NIGHT Conference.
People in my network high on the ERC mountain have been trying to convince me that this Conference session is really about leadership starting a conversation and getting feedback from the Eldership about the new New Strategic Plan...
...and not about foisting constitutional change to make the new New Strategic Plan a done deal.
Oh, naive little me! I was beginning to believe them.
As Maxwell Smart would have said, "Ah, the old, 'Let's live together in community trick.' Third time I've been fooled by that one this week!"
Then, the hierarchs got caught in their own game and were told by the LAWYER that they must give 30 days notice to change the Constitution. (Remind me: At what point did the lawyers get involved in the Gospels and the Book of Acts?)
So, what's this conference gathering really about?
Getting feedback from the Eldership?
Having conversation?
Living in mutual submission as a community?
Bahahahahahaha!
If it was about the conversation, the meeting would still be held on schedule. Nothing from the lawyer effects the talking and listening.
No.
This meeting is all about changing the Constitution so that the hierarchs can have their way with the Conference and do what they dern well please with a minimum of accountability from the body.
----------------
But, as it turns out, this gang of hierarchs can't do institutional church as well as it was already being done.
The hierarchs just got caught in their own game.
This Conference session is about changing the Constitution and everything else is just P. R..
Maybe the Cynics do have it right after all.
-----------------
I'd like to laugh. But, because I love the ERC and CGGC, I'll probably cry.
We must repent!
