Webcast and Chatroom for IA is up and running.

[Faith rider]

It was a great day, the business session was one of the quickest and best I've ever seen, and I haven't missed an assembly since 1975.
I sat in front of PG and he acted like one of the boys.

I think we should propose the addition of actual fireworks to the assembly. This new business system works very well.

This is how it should be.

Come from everywhere and celebrate Jesus!

[Pastor Bill]

I really think the new system streamlined things, even with a little confusion on the first time through it went much better than the last few years, and got better the next time around.

I did notice the guy in the white shirt is back, and "he didn't know about the proxy" (wonder if his pastor just purposely didn't tell him!) although I did have to stifle a laugh when Brother Howard offered to give him his proxy paperwork so he could read it and understand it!

I chuckled at a lot of things Bishop Howard said today. I know he was often sincere, but I think much of it could have been interpreted as somewhat patronizing. He just sounds SO gentle and understanding...cracks me up.

p.s. I thought the EXACT same sentence = "The guy in the white shirt is back..."

[jessea]

The guy in the white shirt is from Missouri. I hope you don't get a picture of us Missourians based upon his performance this year and in recent years.

[EagerBeaver]

He's from Missouri? Might have to go pay him a visit.

[one love]

i saw a good hanky wave while they were singing after parade of nations

"you got your handkerchiefs wave them to the lord"

said the singer, I like that, was really good

Beav - I know where he lives if you need directions!
You may want to bring some backup! That guy runs
a junk yard & used to be able to lift the engine out of a
car using nothing except his arms.
Video doesn't do him justice - he's a big guy!

He was actually probably telling the truth when he said he didn't know
anything about the Proxy system. The local church he used to attend
was shut down last year & I'm not certain if he is attending another
church full time or not.

Actually - there are probably a lot of churches that weren't aware
of the new proxy system. I know very little was ever said
about it at my church.

[Billy n NC]

I was wondering about the guy also. If he attended church on a regular basis or not.

Pianoman said.

You are probably correct. but at our church we spent 3 Wed nights on it back in Jan /Feb..

That I don't know for certain.

I had "heard" he was visiting another COGOP & also that he
had visited a TCOG as well - but nothing official & not certain
if they transferred his membership to another church when
they shut down or not?

I had also heard he wanted to be put in as the pastor of
that church as well (his wife was a former pastor before
she passed away). I think I may have mentioned last assembly
- he has a big heart - but a hard head!

[Brenda]

Just tried to watch the BBB playing and every song was played twice. The band leaders words were said twice at the mike.

Earlier today it was ok..will try again and see how it works.

I never heard anything about the Proxy system at our church, either.

[Brenda]

[Rob]

Trying to watch from my office on Friday morning especially the prayer time, but there is no sound.
