On Monday, July 7, 2025, I had the opportunity to speak directly with General Conference Executive Secretary Richard E. McEdward and General Conference Treasurer Paul H. Douglas. I asked them if they would consider establishing an official ad hoc committee dedicated to open dialogue with Pastors Conrad Vine, Ron Kelly, Dennis Page, James Milam, and others.
The purpose of this forum would be to clarify misunderstandings, express mutual concerns, truly listen to one another, ask difficult questions, give honest answers, pursue unity, and above all, seek healing. You can see the GC Executive Secretary’s response in the video. While no one can predict what path each party will ultimately pursue, reconciliation involves having to talk about the very issues the church has been avoiding at the 62nd General Conference Session.

We will see 👀 if this new leadership will reconcile with the great 👍 Jesus inspired gentlemen. I hope they do.
Amen!
“God wants us all to have common sense, and He wants us to reason from common sense. Circumstances alter conditions. Circumstances change the relation of things.”19LtMs, Ms 7, 1904, par. 31
My dear brethren, we have an example in this world and in Scripture of a system that is designed in its attempt to seize and maintain both civil and ecclesiastical authority. This is system is well maintained, that when leaders pass on, others come in taking their place. We know that only God’s judgement and justice will remove this system.
Important points:
• this system is designed to uphold and maintain authority.
• individuals replace individuals while the system remains the same.
Are we seeing something similar in our ranks?
“The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement. The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would sweep away the structure.
Who has authority to begin such a movement? We have our Bibles. We have our experience, attested to by the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit. We have a truth that admits of no compromise. Shall we not repudiate everything that is not in harmony with this truth?” 1SM 204.2 – 1SM 205.1
Are we believing the truths/evidence that God is revealing to us now?
Do we trust in the revelations of Prophecy?
Or are we hopefully wishing, depending on our own understanding?
We cannot deal with these issues without considering and placing Present Truth in its right place.
Great points, and the quotes….
I pray tithe is not used as a whip to be a church officer.
I pray Diop is removed as PARL leader since he doesn’t preach “ the three angels messsge but JESUS ( which is the Revelation of JESUS)”.
