1st I want to say the Ephesus Gnostic Group now has a board that makes any critical decisions. Most of you were unaware of this. Now you know. No one person decides on any action taken concerning the administrative end of The Ephesus Gnostic Group. Many decisions are made after a mass email is sent to all registered members including those who have not officially joined the website. Based on that feed back we determine how best to handle certain situations that arise once a group starts to grow.
In the attempt to remain fair no one thing is left solely up to one individual or one group of individuals. For example: the members of the online group are not more influential than the members of the entire group. The board makes its decision based on the feedback of all members of the Ephesus Gnostic Group. We are a real democracy.
Haven said that, the meeting was different this time. Not only did it take place in our new place of worship, a very beautiful place, we had an unpleasant experience that was very emotional for many of our members including Sir Mark. This unpleasant incident led to the resignation of one of our founding board members. We gather to praise and fellowship with Adonai our God who is God. We do not come together to air our personal issues and dirty laundry. There are psychologists in the group for such matters and they make themselves available to handle these things outside the meetings. Rodrick and Jess make themselves available to all members of the Ephesus Gnostic Group so please feel free to approach them if you are having some mental or emotional problems you feel you need help with. We all have things that come up in life that require some extra assistance to work through. Take advantage of this assistance please.
We covered many things in this meeting including how we feel about both presidential candidates in the 2016 race for the White House. I'll open it up with a topic Anthony posted earlier which was a discussion about Trumps finances. Being a man of sound financial standing, I must agree with Mason's statement that Trump is most wealthy in regards to debt. His dept is dangerous and could potentially cause great problems for the country if he were to win this election. My concern is how little the media is shining a light on this situation which leads me to believe very powerful republicans are behind this cover-up like they are many cover-ups. There is nothing of greater importance than this information and a constant light should shine on this. Trump is literally dangerous for this country. We discussed what political party is most in line with our faith, values and beliefs and concluded we will remain neutral therefore Independent in regards to who we will support politically.
Our focus was fellowship for this meeting and it started with the last article. This is a very important activity and should not be taken lightly. When we fellowship we learn about things we often have no idea about. We learned about the sex trade that is growing in this country and how violent it is especially in regards to women. We have learned that there are many good officers of the law who are very disturbed by what is going on with the police involved shootings of unarmed black males and the violence shown toward black females. We were reminded there are some very good officers, many in fact that aren't happy with this behavior.
We learned about the Alt-right movement that supports Donald Trump and decided it is our job to remind minorities, myself included as I am Jewish, it is not in our best interest to be supportive of Donald Trump who openly brings these extremely racist individual into his fold in the most close way. It is dangerous for us to allow anyone to attempt to persuade us that this man is a good man to have as the leader of this country but we all knew this was coming. This evil man has proven his ugliness in ways that should leave no doubt that he is dangerous but we have many who are still willing to support him despite his vileness. Let's keep the conversation going. What do you all think about the meeting? Feel free to talk about all of it without going into a lot of detail about certain things.
