While it sounds like something from a Tom Clancy novel, Malaysia Airlines flight 370, a fully loaded Boeing 777 has been missing for about a week. It is clear by now that it left the designated flight path. No ransom claims have been issued. No debris has been found. No black boxes or transponders have…

Please Explain This To Me
A convicted rapist sentenced to three life terms plus 51 years in prison has been arrested in Sacramento County for a parole violation, four years after his release. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said 47-year-old Lloyd Edwards was detained Thursday during a parole compliance check by the office’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force Team.…

Folks, the short version is this: the phrase “seven years” is never mentioned in the New Testament. Not ever. Never once. But somehow, it’s a doctrine in the minds of most modern evangelicals. Ditto for lots of other proclaimed doctrines. Amongst these are: A rebuilt temple in Jerusalem—never mentioned in the New Testament. Jesus said…

The Sunday session was rather tame compared with the previous day’s festivities. Litigation plans were clearly well underway and something will probably be filed tomorrow. The biggest looser from the convention…

The contentious CRA convention began today with a visit from the Sacramento Police Department. Apparently fisticuffs broke-out when some folks that were not credentialed tried to force their way into the delegate meeting’s morning session. About 125 people were not seated by the Credentials Committee. After many false starts, the Committee met last night to…

Update My initial comments on this matter were based on this release from Restore the CRA. Moments ago in a Sacramento courtroom, the judge granted a Temporary Restraining Order against Celeste Grieg, George and Aaron Park, Tom Hudson, Craig Alexander and their assorted minions prohibiting them from using the “policy” passed by the Board at…

Given the volatile environment that is swirling around the upcoming convention, I would like to make a proposal that is outside the current debate. I think we should adopt the framework for deciding delegates & chartering new units (see blog entry below for a possible framework) and suspend the Bylaws to allow officer elections to…

The CRA was issued a court order that their Board vote was invalid and all delegates will be seated as per rules at time the names were submitted. It also appears that the Credentials Committee has been stripped of their jobs and their duties were given to the Membership Secretary. I told ya.
