There have been murmurs, through the network of people who keep me connected to the happenings on the ERC mountaintop, that there are some very highly placed people on the highest peaks of the ERC mountain...and others...who are devoted to the new New Strategic Plan and who think that all of us also would be excited...
...except for the fact that the people who prepared the PDF and presented the plan in those Round Table Meetings did a very poor job.
What I'm hearing is that the plan is perfectly fine and that we'd all know that, if we'd been given a better picture of it.
For example, one of my criticisms of the plan is that the people who wrote the plan ignored the shared belief of the CGGC that, "The Bible is our only rule of faith and practice," by including no Bible references in the presentation of the plan when...
...as I'm hearing it, the creators and supporters of the plan think that the plan is based on, or at least consistent with, important Scriptural truths.
If it's true that at least some people way up there on the mountaintop believe that the plan is the bee's knees and that the only reason we don't all know that is that it was poorly presented,...
...then I'm even more confused by the hierarchs' full-court press for the plan's approval.
If the mountaintoppers are thinking, "It's a great plan but we understand why no one thinks it is," they should be convening a special session of Conference to, properly, make the plan's virtues known to one and all...
...not to press an issue that wouldn't need to be pressed.
If this is the case,...
...and my sources are impeccable,...
...if the mountaintoppers want the Eldership to embrace this plan...
...they need to be selling it to the brothers and sisters, not pressing the body to approve it before the plan's benefts are properly explained.
