As a pastor in Mississippi, I would agree with darylscook that at least 75% would oppose change.

Now that is interesting, indeed. Do they accept them into the church?

I am a member and pastor in cgp. In my local congregation, there are only two or three whom I think might be against a change. In our immediate area, I think there would be general acceptance to a change, so I voted 90 for, 10 against.

I voted 100% for change. I went that way because the perfection the COGOP organization currently seeks is not possible in today's world, to the point of shooting ourselves in the foot. We have slammed the doors in the faces of those who probably need us most long enough.

Joey, I think you misunderstood the poll. It's not what YOU think, it's what you believe is the percentage COGOP-wide.

Joey is working his legs off this week (construction type stuff) and may have misunderstood because he probably read it pretty quickly last night when I told him about it. But, i would say his numbers (100%) would stay the same because that is the percentage for our local church and pretty much every church we have been a part of since we got married. He IS a cogop member, btw - in good standing (at least in our fellowship).

Not as memebers of the COGOP, but as christians and workers (or maybe I should say as fellow laborers in the harvest

).

Listen, no more hangin' chad stuff. A vote is a vote. Don't think we're going to change the whole voting system because Joey couldn't work the voting machine. :lol:

We're computerized here in Kentucky - not like Florida. We don't have issues with hangin chads. We KNOW we voted for Bush.

I am a member and have been since 1973, I was raised a PK and now I am a Wife of a preacher man. I think it will be a tragedy if we do not change this portion of our teachings. It is only by the grace of God any of us that have been married only once has remained that way. I am in Texas and I am pretty certain majority of Texas is not for the change. God help us and Please Lord open our eyes before it is too late. :cry:

As of 29 votes...
My unscientific math puts the overall odds at 67% for change, 33% against change.

I guess a good question to ask is out of the pecentage that does not want to change how many would submit to those over them in the Lord?

Kenya · Postby **Kenya** » March 25th, 2004, 8:38 am

Out of the 10% I was thinking of??? None would submit. They are not part of our local church but are in our area.

I sure did. Ya' got to be careful about half-reading stuff.
That being said, and as skill would have it, I would have cast the same vote (as my wonderful bride said).
Everyone here in Waynesburg, KY seem to be on the same boat and wouldn't throw anyone off.

Out here in Oregon I think most coGopers would vote against a change.... however we don't amount to very many votes.

Barbara Marlow · Postby **Barbara Marlow** » March 25th, 2004, 5:57 pm

I voted for change. I have been C.O.G.O.P. for two years. What a shame
that people who love the Lord, can't be members due to what a partner
did to them. Many women had divorce put on them because the men
wouldn't or couldn't walk with them. A WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE
HURT THE SECOND TIME BY THE CHURCH :roll:
