Ain't it the truth?!

Yes, but look at all the things that they could get passed.

Nah. They could have the Assembly in Mozambique and that fat dude from Arkansas in the white long sleeved shirt would show up to cause trouble. Him, and that guy from South Georgia who thinks God told him that he's supposed to be General Overseer.

He is from Macon.

And you are right.

I still vote to go to Jamaica

If that didn't happen then someone like Hedi Baker, you know that little white woman who went to Mozambique and opened an orphanage with aid children, survived bombing attacks, raise all her own support, lived through diseaes and has planted more than 2000 churches might show up. Then GC would call it invalid because a wof'er was there and influenced it with occultic ideology..

Based on my understanding she can't be a WoFer if she raised her own funds.

Any place south of Atlanta is south GA.

I was fixing to say the same thing, Mat. People from Macon like to say they are from "Middle Georgia". There ain't no Middle Georgia, there's north and south and anything south of Atlanta (well, to be charitable, let's say Jonesboro) is South Georgia.

Hey KB, if we're gonna have it in Jamaica, lets just have the Assembly at one of those Sandals Resorts. We'll have the services on the beach. No mixed bathing though.

South Georgia starts after MACON, people, work with me here.

Jamaica would be cheaper. You can get all inclusive, meals included plus your flight.

Beach and yes we would have much MIX BATHING. You would be right there with me DaJudge.

I think you just want to visit the Rastafarians.

Or are you more interested in Santaria?

*Will it leave the Bible belt?

One state overseer's blog states, "...chances are the General Assembly of 2012 will be west of the Mississippi river."

*Best location for both the 'tourists' and the business aspects of great deals on conference centers, many hotels, cheap(er) travel, etc...

Las Vegas (could you imagine?)

Vegas has my vote!

They took it to Dallas a couple of times and about lost their shirt. People didn't come.

It's all about the crowd. You always plan stuff near the center of your populace. What good would it possibly serve to have it in a place where there are no people. .....especially with today's gas prices.....I guarantee that will affect the crowd this year.


I was told that you had upwards of 20,000 last time.....I doubt that will happen this time.........but then........maybe all those who have flooded in who are in double marriage will show up to show their appreciation.....lol

NOW PLEASE SEE THE JOKE IN THIS>

[ doubt that happened last time. The General Assembly has not had 20,000 in attendance for many years. Since we have no form of registration we rely on the estimate of the host facility. If we had more then 10,000 two years ago in Nashville I would be surprised. I feel we need to look for a smaller, more "church" type setting and stop trying to use false numbers to justify the overpriced locations.

Maybe that was the total number over all days in attendance?

Since we only have the lower level the the auditorium, I highly doubt it will seat 20k or even 10k on the lower level.

Mat.....I was offended at the "evangelist " remark....

I never did that as an evangelist.

However, you could be right about that.

Any way, I kinda didn't think it was that many anyway.....just someone trying to make themselves look good. I know the Somet Center and how many it seats. They don't even have 10k for Predators games and they use the upper level ..........

Whatever, even if it was 2k no matter......it still doesn't represent the entire church and therefore the "people" don't really get their votes.....proxey or not.

Hope you have a good IA.
