D-Day has arrived hermanos. In an effort to continue discussions I am bumping the Elections comments thread to this section. Please feel free to post your comments here. We will suspend comments in the previous sections.

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL!
I think I figured it out.
I was looking at the pictures from the 2006 Elections (thank for the link to AA.info) and I came across this picture of this guy nodding off.
IT'S HIS FAULT!! He should have been diligently seeking direction through prayer. Even the waiter in the white suit was praying.
Who is this guy? He should be stripped of his license, disbarred, censored, flogged, and publicly humiliated. Had he been praying steadfast as the bible dictates, perhaps we all would have been relieved the current situation. Talk about a butterfly effect!
I was impressed with the whole election production. It seemed well organized. For some reason in my mind I had the impression that there was a bunch of men in white socks and black shoes using yellow stickies to write in an illegible script the name of who's back they wanted to scratch. It was actually, at least it looked like a very well thought out, organized event. The video monitors, the voting keypads, the district signage...even the waiter in the white suit stopped serving coffee and water and joined the Apostolico's in attendance in prayer.
While I was rifling through the pictures, these following thoughts came to my mind:
(1)The men in this picture are the very men who voted in the CID in the previous year. Not one objected. Not one questioned the document. Not one questioned the intent behind the document. NOT ONE! Even those that are on the plaintiff side did not object!
So that begs the question, Do we have the blind leading the blind? Well it appears to me that this is obviously so, for not one clergy member objected either did one person outside of the clergy. Including yours truly (for the record, I wasn't even aware there was a CID prior to this lawsuit).
Does this mean that it was not even discussed among the clergy? You would think that a couple of hermano's would sit and discuss the political topics in the Assembly after church one night over coffee and pandulce. It's looks like they're discussing it now and much more. (From my interaction with several brethren, the clergy can't even figure out who they can trust. Again this due to political posturing...haven't we had enough of that? But that is another topic).
(2)Did these clergy member's know that their individual vote counted only as 1/4 of the of the electoral process. Let's see, that means with respect our beloved organization each minister(person) is considered a fraction of a vote. It would take four ministers (persons) to make one whole vote. I will have to go back to my American history class but if I remember correctly even the slave's had more voting rights per person, 3/5 of a vote. And that 3/5 was weighed against a white mans 1/1 vote. That means it would take two black votes to neutralize one white man's vote. The Apostolic clergies individual vote is weighed against several committees that held the 3/4 of the vote. I'm not a statistician but it seems to me that the clergies vote doesn't even matter. AND THE WOMEN HAVE ZERO!!
OUR ORGANIZATION IS GOING BACKWARDS!!
And sisters don't sit there with smug look on your face, everyone of you have accepted the fact that you don't count save making a few tamales for the building fund. Why do the women have to be in an auxillary role (functioning in a subsidiary (secondary importance) capacity)?
Maybe that hermano caught nodding off, was indeed a mathmatician in disguise, knew of this and realized he was wasting his time sitting there while he could have been at Disneyland.
