Curious, is the various advertisements in the GAToday daily newspaper, paid for by various States, smack anyone as unnecessary self promotion?Who thinks this is a good expense from strapped State budgets to promote AB, staff as a Welcome ads that fill this GA Today newspaper/magazine handed out daily at GA?I assume it's not free, bigger states get full page, etc...anyone know cost of these self promoting ads? Ads underwrite this I'm sure. Looking through these after GA and couldn't help notice the Charisma Magazine-like self promotion vanity ads from our leaders..

Charlie, I hope ya don't mind if I just call ya Charlie an all. Ever time I say the name Earl I git the feelin I'm in Atlanta at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. At aint a good feelin, so I'll just call ya Charlie ifn ya don't mind.

Promoting state? Maybe. Why does almost every ad have the AB and staff w large photos? Just smacks with vanity self promotion. Just impression.If promoting state -- promote new church plant (sad so few in many states) or something highlighting an outreach in that state etc.Why does it revolve around the AB/staff? Just observation over years these.But, just curious of what theses vanity ads COST out of state budget?Where is THAT information??BTW -- Charlie is fine:) LOL per Earl

It may just be none of your business??

Not me on FB...if that is what your thinking. But, since the church I pastor sends our $$$$$ to state office faithfully, it kinda is my business to find out and raise the question of whether it is a good expense. Our state has cut everything not tied down, struggles to pay YD part time, always talking things are tight etc.Yea, I want to know and will find out

from what I understand the expense is not all that high. The printing of the publication basically is a brake even situation thanks to the revenue that the adds bring in.

What's the problem?State board is welcoming the new guy.I like it.Move on to the next issue

why is this a sticky??
