There is no room inside their box. They will only hear the challenges to their little box. <br />It's not about authority, it is about learning and succeeding through our experiences. Could that be the true church of god? <br /><br />DBPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-18720494618250994912016-05-07T23:32:50.435-07:002016-05-07T23:32:50.435-07:00We get it.

And, it is good.<br /><br />In Armstrongism, members gave the entire alphabet to the ministry, yet suffered detrimental consequences in return. To the wonderful Hebrew people who gave us the concept of trade, Armstrongism is just plain meshugaas! It presents another example of goyim being incapable of understanding!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-24578548749931476142016-05-06T13:59:29.160-07:002016-05-06T13:59:29.160-07:00Go to a good or expensive restaurant, and you are ...Go to a good or expensive restaurant, and you are treated like royalty. By contrast, give 10% of your income to a church, and it's representatives treat you like dog crap, and walk all over your rights. Where else does this exist in society? This is scandalous. Yes, another trading issue. You can't escape it. And not forgetting, expressing gratitude by thanking God, is a trade for what He gives us. <br /><br />Regards.

Of course, much of that is total fiction. The conquest of Canaan never happened as fictionally recounted after the Babylonian captivity. These guys are just carrying on a time honored tradition of manufacturing authority for themselves out of thin air and counting on gullible people to bow down to it. Herb did.

Ministers need a system where they can lose their job, or at the very least, their current assignment. There needs to be evaluation surveys, with grading on many different aspects and job functions. Ministers who consistently score in the bottom 5% of the whole need to be let go. <br /><br />Ministry are supposed to be servants. What we have is a system where those who supposedly are "to be served" and be the "master" have the roles reversed! Absurd! <br /><br />Until such a system as proposed is implemented, you will have continuous splits, as this is the only escape mechanism or economy that is allowed... voting with ones feet. Embrace the vote and choice internally and you will see a far greater harmony, embraced creative destruction, renewal and progressive forward looking leadership. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910856904624749641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-19979545514869585442016-05-06T10:47:31.129-07:002016-05-06T10:47:31.129-07:00“A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers ...“A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.” <br />― Robert A.
