Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2005 11:28 pm Post subject: Leadership at the THC Ministry |
|
|
Hello everyone,
Aloha. It's time to get specific here about the positions of leadership and authority at the THC Miistry. I have delayed posting this partly, or mainly, because I have been such an anti-authority guy most of my life. However, it's time for me to step-up to the plate right now and help to make things clear for all involved.
Here's the deal as I see it: I created this ministry and, like it or not, I have the final say about where it goes and what it's purpose and mission is. I own the name, the trademark, and I am the responsible party. Responsible = able to respond.
Ferre was attracted to the ministry a few years ago and has proven himself to be an invaluable part of who and what we are. He founded this Amsterdam ministry and he built and maintains both the web forums. I feel that Ferre and I are different wings on the same bird. I love, respect and support him totally, and yes, we sometimes disagree. He's as human as I am and you are.
Am I being completely clear? Ferre is in a position of respect and authority and leadership in the THC Ministry because he earned it. He is my brother, my partner and my friend.
There's room at the 'top' for you. The combination of talents here has attracted some really good, true and valuable members that I'm proud to call friends. As much as possible we listen to the feelings and suggestions of you and them for mutual benefit. We are blessed to have the 'elders', if you will, of the THC Ministry working and praying and supporting this ministry out of the goodness of their hearts. Ferre and I listen to you and we respect your feelings and ideas.
Here's to the holy instant (now) and to our glorious future together!
Much love and respect to each one of you,
Roger

Hey Roger,
Thanks for helping to address this little sore-spot, but I believe you said that you were going to be stepping up to the plate, and getting specific by making things clear. I don't see that happening here. I mean that, most of us are already well aware that you and Ferre are the counter-balancing wings that propel this big beautiful bird into the air, what we really would like to know is who are the elders? I would see this as the specifics that you referred to in this topic.
Most of those who I speak with in the ministry have a general idea based on moderatorships that have been bestowed, but beyond that, I believe the specifics would include identifying those in our organization who help make the decisions - the elders. Let's get 'em out of the closet and parade them around a bit in order to give them their just dues and proper respects.
The only thing made clear by this topic is that the elders identities are none of the ministry's very own members' business. I think as a group we can be a little more democratic than this, don't you?
Besides, I like to know which authority figures I'm mouthing off to ... it helps me to know my limitations.
Maybe Ferre could help us with this one.

This rare photo, smuggled out at great peril, reveals two THC Ministry Elders after a clandestine meeting in the woods.

That looks like nothing more than a snapshot of a couple of Patheticus's 'friends' modeling his wears.


^^^My sources tell me this is closer to the real crew. ^^^
I know I'll have it narrowed down by the time our injunction goes through, but the suspense is killing me ...
... killing me, I tell's ya.
Hell, before yesterday ... us pee-ons never even knew the 'Elders' existed. _________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i kinda figured there may have been a core group of people behind the scenes calling the shots which is not necesarilly a bad thing
i mean we all trust roger right af he feels these people are qualified as advisors to him im comfortable with it as i havent seen them do anything not in everyones interest
ive seen some posts against the new tennants but i dont see what the big deal is it hasnt changed what we believe in if you subscribe to the old tennants the new ones fit right in there you dont need to drop them we should all have a written declaration of our own beliefs along with the ministries that work hand in hand with each other imho
i feel this was a very smart move i can see how the old ones could easily alienate some _________________ "look...the people you are looking for are the people you depend on.we cook your meals , we haul your trash ,we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances,we guard you while you sleep"

I saw your avatar, too........back atcha! lol
You know, I saw a picture of you a while back, and your avatar looks just like you......some general physical characteristics, hair color, etc....its funny!
Actually, Im going to change my avatar, but I dont know what Im going to change it to, just yet. This was just something fun to do...
Apparently, Im good at being the "bad guy" (see .org site for details) , so I thought you guys might get a kick out it.  _________________ Stop being a slave to Cannabis, and do something with your life! How much is smoking weed going to cost you before you will WAKE UP?
