Theos-Talk Archives (April 2009 Message tt00119)

I am glad to see the developments in Dutch section.

I wish that when the folly of disenfranchisement and attempt to seize the
presidency was seen, a quick public apology from those involved in coming up
with the idea would have helped all around.

Allowing it continue to linger and make members suspicious what the
supporters are upto (we do not know what else is cooking behind the scenes)
has only damaged the credibility of the leaders and unless some quick
bold steps are taken by them, the issue will not go away and damage will
continue.

I hope to see some bold plans before it is too late to fix the situation
created by the events during past year.
