I did not say that BM was the GO in the 80's.

Wow! In the late 80s??? I find this so hard to believe! So all new COGOP ministers had to give up gum and medicine to get credentials? Why didn't they just change it at the assembly?

Long time before the 80's. Changed when Billy Murray was the G.O, I think!

This is what you said. The use of the words long time before the 80's and then changed when Murray was GO makes it appear that Murray was GO long before the 80's.

My final reply! "Long time before the 80's." A sentence in answer to the question, "Wow! In the late 80s???" "Changed when Billy Murray was the G.O., I think." Statement as to when the application was changed.

I was talking to someone today about the questions on gum and administering medicine. If I remember their was about 100 questions.

Paul, my dad several years ago told me the reason he thought that question was on the application was during an Assembly AJT was taking up a mission offering and he was not getting as much money as he thought he should receive, and made the statement, "You folks will pay more for chewing gum this year than you're giving to missions."

Next thing you know, the chewing gum question is on the application.

I never seen my dad chew gum in my life, and I must confess that when dad passed my brother and I stuck a pack of gum in his casket.
