MK forum

Purely a guess, but I would bet a signifant sum of personal $$ that the results of the "investigations" will not be forthcoming until the legal entity restructuring is substantially completed and people are moved into new entities. May be one of the reasons for the delays. If you have tracked the number of NTM missionaries listed under "Give" at NTM.org, you will see a periodic large adjustment in number listed. For example, the number today is 1542...wasn't the number holding steady near 1700 for months? Why the sudden drop? Just speculation here...but I'm assuming about 160 people are now collecting donations through some other "legal entity". Perhaps I am totally wrong on this...but time will tell.

I think in the 90's a lot of missions changed their names. The Gospel Missionary Union changed to Avant, they said because some countries didn't like the word Missionary and other the word Union. I have often wondered in the discussions did it ever come up that maybe in a few years people would forget the old name and think it was a different organization. GMU has refused to acknowledge responsibility for abuse at Mamou even though they forced their missionaries to send their kids there. GMU says it was all C&MA's responsibility. Missions are no different than any business the bottom line is what counts, which they call responsibility. The churches responsibility to pay for their living and travel all over the country and the world. They may not make millions but many of the leaders live on a lot higher salary than those who support them, they have good retirements in retirement villages the average person in the church could never have. Yet they always need more money to reach the lost. What about their lost MKs they can't even get money to pay for counseling. OK enough of a rant for tonight.

'big brother' eh?!

well, I guess that means that big brother has spycams everywhere to see what 'little brother' is doing - that is how big brother works!

And there is sure to be pulling of strings, manipulating, bending rules, and more sweeping under mats/rugs/carpets and anything else that can be used to hide truth from viewers...

Oh, no!
But what about all the changes?????????????
HA!

Thailand ay? Very interesting choice of venue. Got any clues as to time and place?

And 100 leaders? That is a lot of chiefs. Must be something really serious to meet about.

I think you might be on to something Raz.

Thailand? Cool. This is great, good news. (Why didn't they pick Denver or something?)

My best guess is that it will be in the city of Chiang Mai, not too far from where I live. Wherever and whenever it is, please let me know if you find out. I'm certain we can get some good coverage for them in the English language press here.
