We are we almost all black now? Especially CO's.

for the past couple of years at my district conventions, i have been unable to actually listen to most of it, so my mind is in many places.

one such place was to count people in several of the other sections as to blacks and whites.

section 132..42 white and 137 black, section 133..36 white and 144 black, and so on.

Here in the Deep South, we've had many, many black co's in recent years. the growth in the ranks around here has primarily and overwhelmingly been from the minorities, both hispanic and black, and it appears to me that this is the society trying to send travelling men out that the r/f can 'better relate to'.

I hate Walmart!

i rarely ever set foot in the place and will go out of my way to avoid shopping there.

tonight i made the mistake of giving walmart the benefit of the doubt and walked in the door.. they didn't have the main item i was looking for, but they did have one other small item.

i headed to the front to check out only to find they had only a few check-outs open and all of the lines were far too long.

I love walmart. They help lower income folks by providing a means for working stiffs like myself to purchase goods and services at a low, affordable price. Thanks to them, I am able to stretch my dollars farther every month.

You can bitch and gripe all day long about walmart, but they are the monster they are because of us--the consumer, and our demand for cheap goods and services. They have merely responded to that demand and filled a need, specifically those of lower income workers, the very people that the Left in this country profess that walmart is hurting. Actually, the truth is just the opposite. Thanks to walmart, working stiffs like myself can stretch our dollars further and buy items at an affordable price. For instance, just the other day I went and bought some grocery items. I payed less than twenty five dollars. A week earlier, I bought the SAME items at a local chain competitor(that's unionized) and payed over FORTY five dollars!

I love walmart and will continue to spend my money there, even though it may not be the politically correct thing to do these days.

does doing what is right in god's eyes mean we have to use only bible terms?

i know the organization is not perfect.

is there strong evidence that he has his people here on earth that although not perfect, are doing his will?

owenfieldreams

MRP, I believe that you are sincere in what you are saying, but when an organization constantly changes its doctrines and teachings, in essence "moving the goalposts", all in the name of receiving "new light", many of us begin to question whether or not it really has any core beliefs or teachings that are not subject to being changed in the future. Remember, what really is the The Truth should never change or be altered.

for me, um, ah, arrrr........

Even though I have serious questions and doubts about their doctrinal points and teachings, I would have to say that I admire the morals that they TRY to teach(but not necessarily how they adhere to them).
