What the heck? This story gets more insane with each new chapter written? Where is the leadership here? Is the same person who excommunicates dissenters sitting back and watching silently as this fiasco carries on?
Why don't they just put a For Sale sign up on the whole property? There will be nothing left spiritually when all of this is done, as anyone with any sense of Christianity will have left. Great job! Great legacy!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuorumQuorum as a tool
When quorum is not met, a legislative body cannot hold a vote, and cannot change the status quo. Therefore, voters who are in favor of the status quo are able to use an obstructive strategy called, in the United States, quorum-busting. If a significant number of voters choose not to be present for the vote, the vote will fail due to lack of quorum, and the status quo will remain.
A quorum in a legislative body is normally a majority of the entire membership of the body. If there are vacancies, that fact is not considered. Thus, a quorum of a legislative body that has 100 seats would be 51 (more than half of 100), even if some seats are vacant. However, it is also common in a legislative body to have a rule that the lack of a quorum does not affect the proceedings unless a point of order is raised
