Hi, Added a new value add to my blog this weekend - a news widget from www.widgetmate.com. I always wanted to show latest news for my keywords in my sidebar. It was very easy with this widget. Just a small copy paste and it was done. Great indeed.

Sorry if my previous post was unclear. What I meant to say was-

It is highly inaccurate and poor journalism to state that attendance is down 50% in LA and San Diego congregations in LCG. Attendance has FALLEN 75%. Get your facts straight next time.

100% - 75% leaves only 25% for RCM

"The attendance after the global split was never more than 120 at best. But, there have been a lot who have moved out of town from there. Maybe about 20 have left there max in the last year."

Hey Corky, there is a lot not in your school books when you were learning, more was in the history books earlier and even less now. Who cares about what you think anyway?

To anonymous 5:15,

First, are you even in CA? Or do you just believe what others tell you?

What is the attendance in LA? I thought at one point I heard that LA had around 150. I heard that LA is down to around 60 now for regular (weekly) attendance. If they went from 150 to 60, that is not maintaining 75% attendance. I am trying to get the facts straight, so help us out.

To poster 5:15 P.M., Yes it is just poor journalism to quote those figures wrong, i guess LCG will say attendance is UP - 50-75%, to counter this.

I wonder why that wasn't in the world history books when I went to school. You know, along side of the king of Babylon eating straw and repenting.

2007-03-12T14:04:00.000+13:00

Maybe the video in UCG will discuss their HQ move to TX? Maybe the video will be a bible contest (Jeopardy style) between UCG's ABC and LCG's U? Either way it should be a hoot. UCG has enough $$ to move HQ but doesn't have enough $$ to pay for the meals of the brethren who are too poor to pay for their own Holyday meals. I was told that UCG took in $9,000 in offerings on the same day they crossed off the names of those who couldn't afford to pay for their meals. So much for serving the brethren.

2007-03-12T05:06:00.000+13:00

It makes zero sense for UCG to move from Cincy to Dallas. Most of the church membership is located within a half-day's drive from Cincy. Plus the HQ building is already paid for. There would be an enormous cost associated with physically moving the bloated UCG home office bureaucracy halfway across the country to Dallas.

2007-03-12T02:55:00.000+13:00

The must-play video for UCG next week will be a proposal to move UCG headquarters from Ohio to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. UCG has run out of room in Ohio, and they cannot build anymore. Apparently they will move over a 3 year period. I have confirmed this from a member in Cincinnati - where it was announced yesterday, elder in DFW, and a UCG pastor.

2007-03-11T19:02:00.000+13:00

After visiting the notes for the San Diego UCG COE meeting, we can play a new game: Subtitle for The Good News. Currently it is "A Magazine of Understanding". Suggestions: "Hope Beyond Today's Troubled World", "Hope Beyond Today's World", "Beyond Today's Troubled World". What fun we could have, like, "Beyond Today's Troubled CoGs" or "Hope Beyond being a UCG Member".

As Howard Davis once told me, "I feel like I'm lying [on the telecast] when I say that The Good News is the World's Greatest Magazine". Good call that. It's just a loss leader to get people into a cog, not necessarily the UCG.

2007-03-11T18:22:00.000+13:00

The fact that Living U. will be "distance learning" only should show there's a lack of $$ to build a facility for it.

I asked a UCG Pastor about the "must-play" video, and he believed it had something to do with a presentation at the recent Council of Elders meeting in San Diego. Perhaps the meeting minutes will provide a clue.

Lussenheide,
You are right, I especially like Spanky in his professor hat, kinda reminds me of AC in the 60's,without the hat of course, they all had such big heads that hats would not fit.

Do catch todays beyondtoday.tv UCG podcast about depression. Those United guys are now mental health professionals.

No?

Guess not.

But they pretend to be on TV or, more accurately, .tv.

Now it turns out, anybody who knows just enough to be dangerous about depression and bipolar disease realize that it is because of an imbalance in the brain. These yahoos should be prosecuted for malpractice by intimating that you can overcome depression by happy thoughts. Unfortunately, unless you remove "The Good News" from your coffee tables, there will be little success in either realm.

Oh, right.

Depression is a spiritual sickness.

Like they could deal with that either.

Confidential to depressed minister in United: You need to take another trip to your mental health professional. Is he still in Alaska?
