Now the Old Men's Club are threatening to Exorcise, Ostracise, and Subjugate, the union conferences that have voted to ordain women (or alternatively, to cease ordaining men).  It won't work.  As Monte rightly points-out, the voting majority in the conferences, opposing the GC actions, will grow stronger.  The harder the GC policy mavens push, the harder the voting constituencies will push-back.  Witness the most recent voted response of the NAD Executive Committee.

The ultimate recourse of the Old Men's Club would be to deprive these local constituencies of their votes, by trying to force them into "mission" status.  Even if this dubious maneuver came to fruition (which is not at all obvious), it would be a Pyrrhic Victory (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_victory).

Presumably the Old Men's Club will not persist until like blind Samson they pray "let me die with my enemies", and pull-down the house on top of themselves?

Fortunately for all concerned, this is God's Church, not ours.
