I don't know about a threat but truth4seekers has a blog - looks like it is pro Danny. http://references4links.blogspot.com/2007_05_25_archive.html There may be a threat there somewhere. But looked like just a lot of stuff we have seen before.

Sounds pretty wimpy to me in a sense....and quite familiar...kind of like a 3abn stage/platform, where you can have your "ah huh" men around you agreeing to your hearts content. Wonder what's next....of course, when you get yourself eliminated, for the most part from the chat sites, because you don't play nice, guess you only have a few alternatives left to get your voice out there. Now, heard? Not to sure about that. so....we are all going blog crazy now?

Looked like they only had one comment there and deleted that because they didn't like what they got.

QUOTE(steffan @ Jun 1 2007, 11:15 AM) [snapback]197758[/snapback] It seems quite clear to most people that the reason it was announced before any details had been worked out is simple. If they would have kept it private while going through months of details, you all who seem to have nothing better to do than to track AF and 3abn's movements would have been all over it with your accusations and speculation. Just imagine the spins that would have been made that AF and 3abn were having "secret" meetings. Then you all would have went to the opposite argument. "Why don't they just tell us what they are working on?" "Why is this secret, what do they have to hide?" "Don't they think their supporters need to know what they are planning?" "Steffan," Here's a thought... If merger discussions had been carried out in PRIVATE...how exactly is it that we would be discussing it here on a PUBLIC forum?  .............Are you implying there is a a LEAK somewhere?? Just curious...~~Snoopy~~ |

You got that right Sonshine! Plus Steffan, while you are 'splanin' stuff. 'splain why everybody's language has changed regarding this merge. The chairman of the AF board says it it only in the "investigation" phase. That is not the "done deal, GC and everybody knows and agrees" Danny was talking about a couple months ago. I personally have talked with conference officials, who keep saying, "IF, this merger is voted" Sorry you can't put this one on us. Danny, with Doug by his side.looking a bit ill at ease, I thought) put this out there for ALL to see complete with dreams and visions. "Splane that one.
QUOTE(sonshineonme @ Jun 1 2007, 08:43 PM) [snapback]197873[/snapback] "Steffan", since when, have you ever cared what anyone here thinks? You (ds) have never cared what "we all" have "been all over" previously...what difference would it have made if you had done this behind closed doors...sorry, I see this as a lame explanation on your part. Add to that, ds said this was in the works for months, and yet db says it was virtually "sudden and over night"...and certainly, you did ask Doug what he thought about announcing something that SOUNDED done and in complete accord so prematurely, right? I think you are not paying attention to how much we do pay attention. It's one thing to announce the idea, it's quite another to make it sound as though it's a done deal. There were options in the middle.....lets not blame the folks here at bsda for this one...I know some can't help but blame everyone else for everything, but please, you can see that this is a weak statement. Frankly, I am very happy it happened just like it did....it has caused many to get involved in this now, rather then later, while some may have regrets about the transaction later, from the lack of "time" to review, etc. And speaking of time....no time for meetings Steffan????? You mean, something so exciting and important as this supposed in the works merger and no one has time for it? I think you are confused....it's the BOARD(S) that make decisions. Not Doug and NOT Danny (oops, wait, yes, Danny does, in spite of his "board" - what was I thinking?). You are right, they go by their own schedules, and db seems to have respect for his board and their approving of any such merger, among with others do think - that includes the public, which I am positive he has heard from in abundance, as well as high ranking officials in the sda church who I'm sure have added their input, naturally. Keep at it "steffan". We learn so much from you. You are a valuable asset here at bsda.  -------------------- TTFN

Just thought I would share what I ran across this afternoon on the Spectrum website of the announcement of merger between - well you know who it's between
 ....Could be that most have seen this already? I don't know why, but I got a bit of a chuckle out of some of the comments. While these folk may or may not be members here at bsda , I think they would fit in just fine as they call it as they see it. If anyone is interested, just click the link and read up.

I think 3abn and Amazing Facts will do well if they remain as seperate ministries. Just my thoughts. Personally, I don't see how the two ministries can be merged.

Has anyone else been having problems? WT and the 3abn board must feel like they are in the hot seat over the latest documentation on the horse donation and the non-denominational message! |
