"It is characteristic of all committee discussions and decisions that every member has a vivid recollection of them, and that every member's recollection of them differs violently from every other member's recollection; consequently we accept the convention that the official decisions are those and only those which have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials; from which it emerges with elegant inevitability, that any decision which has been officially reached would have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials, and any decisions which is not recorded in the minutes by the officials has not been officially reached, even if one or more members believe they can recollect it; so in this particular case, if the decision would have been officially reached, it would have been recorded in the minutes by the officials and it isn't so it wasn't."
I thought you may be able to use it at the next elders/deacons meeting :-)
There from a 'polictical' tv show called 'yes minister' and 'yes prime minister', its a british comedy show from the 80's and, if you can understand it,its very funny :-) and when our policiticans speak it reminds me of this show at times.
I am a pastor at Grace Fellowship Church in Toronto, a husband to Stacey and a father to Susannah, Caitlyn, and Madalyn. I love Christ and I love his church... so that's what I love to talk about. I hope you enjoy what you find!
