Attention all Workers and Friends of Truth!
The time has come for change. We are improving our religion.
This may seem sudden, even drastic, but we must do it to present a united doctrine to the rest of the world so they will know without doubt exactly what we believe.
The current proposal regarding what we will be believing can be found here:
home.iprimus.com.au/pruephillip/TheFirstChurch.htm
Votes will be cast after supper on Saturday. A "YES" vote will make the new doctrine official. A "NO" vote will mean we keep the status-quo in effect. Brother workers get 10 votes. Sister workers get 5 votes. Elders get 4 votes. Elder's wives get 3 votes. Brother Saints get 2 votes. Sister Saints get 1 vote.
Spread the word so we can Get Out The Vote!

You know, there are churches which function just like this - imagine, upper and lower houses of "parliament." Houses of clergy and houses of laity. Imagine

Sheesh---You need to get a grip on the reality of things. With each post you get further out their. If you don't get some help soon you wont get back and be lost in you mind forever. OK strike that - You are already lost in there because there is nothing to hold on to. Oh well such is life. We jump into our own holes.

I think we can all agree that whatever else she might be, Janet is no scholar, and clearly not well acquainted with the study of Christian faith across more than one denomination.
Bert is quite correct. There are numerous examples of churches with governing bodies not dissimilar to a parliamentary arrangement. For instance, the Church of England has functioned with clerical synods for centuries, in which only ranking clergy determine the issues and steer the church. The Roman Catholic Church is infamous for its authoritarian approach to determining doctrine, dogma and mandatory beliefs. There are numerous "congregations", committees, colleges and departments which deal with Catholic affairs, and few of them involve any of the laity.
Janet is obviously taking little steps into a bigger mental world. She condemns Bert, saying that he has not got a grip on reality. I cringed when I read this - the level of ignorance is actually embarassing. Of course, the charitable explanation is that Janet's reality must be quite constrained, so that inhabiting a small mindspace, she imagines that everyone else's mindspace is either the same size, or smaller than her own.
By the way, Janet, you used the words their and there in your post, but both forms were incorrect within their context. It does not help when you belittle someone else for their lack of grasp on the world if you do so in broken prose, brimming with grammatical deficiencies and spelling errors.

And you think this post of your is serious or something. OK we see you . Yes, we know there is not a Santa Claus or Eater Bunny. So now what. Are you going to preach or what? Seriously What on earth are you doing anyway? I can't see anything of substance in your posts. So you can paste and cut and comment line by line. At what grade in school did you learn this? Hush Hush--Quiet down. GIT is getting on the platform. ;D

The pertinent question here is:
Would the F&W accept or reject the definition of their doctrine as bert has portrayed it?
I think it would be defeated soundly.
bert's description of the "Truth" (proper noun) church is nothing like the "Truth" (proper noun) I've grown up in.
