Listener: Very true my friend. The focus on numbers is more and more evident with each printed magazine, Kingdom Ministry, and meeting. So sad that numbers take precedent over love and compassion. Jesus said his yoke would be light and kind, yet the measurement of the sheep and the rating of their value based on these numbers is far from light or kind. For shame.
Pams Girl: Awesome to hear from you :-) Hard to believe it has been more than a year since we began this journey together. I honestly laughed out loud when I got that text from that elder. No questions about where we have been or if we are okay, nope, just straight on to the numbers. Gotta get those numbers in no matter what the cost! It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic that these guys are allegedly appointed by holy spirit to look after God's sheep.
But hey, we always try and look at the positive. We'd rather have it this way than gettig spammed with stalkers.
Long may it continue!
