I spoke to a friend in Canada and she said she just asked her workers up there and they said Woodstock convention is still on. ? The workers are giving different messages to different people. Thankfully the Bainbridges are wise enough to insist on witnesses to their conversations with the workers.

Maybe it will be Woodstock revisited. They could resurrect Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Lolol!! This is the pattern how the workers handle troubles from the very beginning all over the world. They don't care about what is ture but how to save their authority and make troubles small and quiet. Their authority, which they like to put as equal as Jesus, comes first even when all being revealed. There are many workers who are genuine to the truth, I believe, but they are blined to a certain degree. Simply they were trained to do so for the Kingdom's sake. Our God's kingdom dwells in each heart, not here and there as you all know. I feel for the ones who speak out and I want them to know that you are not ALONE along the way.

I spoke to a friend in Canada and she said she just asked her workers up there and they said Woodstock convention is still on. ? If they weren't the overseer, they were just posturing. They just wanted Bob and Stacy to cower/apologize. The overseers have the final word. I think there will be convention at Woodstock. They have just dismantled the Napan convention grounds to make it a 3 day convention instead of a 4-day one. They have no other facilities in New Brunswick for a convention. This is going to be a decision by Dale Schulz and Ray Hoffman, the great grand poohbahs of the continent gone to the Maritimes to straighten things out.

Woodstock , my convention when I professed .Stacy and Bob get ready it is gonna be rough .I have seen that pattern in the past .Some workers must be going from houses to the houses of their faithfull ones telling them how vilain you both are ,how much you hate truth , the same faithfull ones will begin to avoid you .We are with you . Woodstock would be more fun with Janis and Jimi than with the monkeys . I am sick about this. I've known Bob and Stacy since they were small kids. My mother was raised in the Woodstock convention house. I turned down a really good job in Woodstock to come to Nevada. I should say I'm disgusted.

Would it not be the convention owners choice as to whether there is a convention?

If the owner decided there would be no convention, then that could cancel the whole thing. I doubt that's going to happen. It appears like Bob and Stacy are set to make it a decision by the workers. I recall when the workers decided it was time to move another convention location in the Maritimes -- they went through preparations and everything as usual and then made plans for the following years.

The Who - "Won't be Fooled Again" and then there's always a specially modified version by Joe Cocker - "With a little help from the Friends" This "minimise" the deed, and "maximise" the ministry's status has got to stop, otherwise a number will vote with their feet. I have spent the morning listening to John Lennon's Imagine and then Concert for George. Imagine is a very uplifting piece of music. Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Aha-ah... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one Ah, the atheists paradise. Be careful what you wish for you just might get it. -old chinese proverb.

I guess it all gets very murky and muddy, especially if certain infrastructural components of the convention ground are paid for by the church.
My understanding is that is what happened here with the building of an "implement shed", and NM said to the owners, don't worry, there's plenty of money!
The implement shed comes complete with sound system, and can seat a few hundred people. Just what a farm needs!
I could see such a situation as Bob and Stacy are in getting very messy, unless they caved in to the workers, or gave a one fingered salute.

One body has one mouth that speaks one message in one voice. I'm sorry. That expectation has brought a lot of people to serious betrayal.

It was played at the end of the movie. Good movie, but disturbing too. Brutal movie. Believe it or not some on here entertain the idea of going with Socialism/Communism. They all seem to be from downunder though...

You so clearly see all the wrong, corruption, hypocrisy, coverup etc in the church Yet so honourably you have stuck with the church all your life and into your senior years now. You haven't run off the Anglicans or anything like that. The church needs posters and chaps like you and fixit (another 'all your life and into your senior years' chap). Not of course not forgetting your mate curly 'from the sidelines'. You blokes are the hope of the future as you bravely and with courage expose all the wrong and abuse and work for change in the very messed up church. Then of course another benefit for you. Making posts like this one will doubtless be cathartic for you. Giving how many numbered? finger salute posts about the church you love and have been part of all your life.

They could make a packet holding music festivals and weddings. Clearly it's not going to be used this year, a business opportunity not to be missed.

From what I've heard about convention grounds, the workers have a say even whether or not it's sold or who it's sold to don't they? They have far too much power imo. Makes their stance that they have no church buildings a farce. At one time that was truer. What I remember were working farms that used the buildings all year around and a tent was set up for the meeting tent, along with a tent added on to a kitchen for dining purposes. Now I see pictures of huge buildings on farms that aren't working farms. That's hypocrisy. Nothing wrong with having building solely for that purpose, but everything wrong with denying that is the case.

It's in the nature of man to continually "improve" his altar and expose his nakedness in the process. Exodus 20:23 Remember, you must not make any idols of silver or gold to rival me. 24 āBuild for me an altar made of earth, and offer your sacrifices to meāyour burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats, and your cattle. Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you. 25 If you use stones to build my altar, use only natural, uncut stones. Do not shape the stones with a tool, for that would make the altar unfit for holy use. 26 And do not approach my altar by going up steps. If you do, someone might look up under your clothing and see your nakedness.

Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth, hardly surprising that barely anybody can be bothered with this mythology these days.

I'm sure most folk could do better in this particular field without the "help" of the 2x2 cult.
