-discussion of form and content of religion, as well as planned use, and second "test" of faith. Also discussion concerning how to explain why the apocolypse didn't come the first time we said it would (God was pleased with the building of the fish tower and so decided not to dry up all the fish)

-diversion including, but of course not limited to, the discussion of sharks, tunnels, slides, safety and off-ramps of said slides, methods of feeding people to the sharks, what sort of fish to keep in the high pressure deep water basement/dungeon section, the unappealing nature of decomposing dead bodies on slides, tropical fish rooms and high humidity, more algae worries.
-width of tank walls set at 1/2 mile

-point made by Beth concerning the dangers of being a savior of a religion, decision to set up suitable false figurehead reached
-Andrew decided on as Savior due mostly to vanity and confidence of the members in their ability to appeal to said vanity in order to manipulate him. Evidence of "Golden God" reputation given to support decision. Accepted unanimously.
-some discussion on what to call the relgion. Somewhat unoriginal title of The Church of the Fish House suggested. Probably should be revisited.
-more worries about perception that fish house religion is just a branch of Catholicism, point about how that might not be so bad made by meg successfully for who knows what reasons.
-more discussion of sharks
-discussion of false scary looking emergency valves in tunnells, the introduction of the bubble room in the dungeon
Break for Black Adder. Entire mideval season watched, random Elizabethan episodes.
-Meg given title and responsibilities of Keeper of the fish house
-discussion on what title Beth should have. No decision made, private preference of power behind the keeper, but mouth kept shut.
4:00 Meeting adjourned. Sleep of a few hours decided on before swimming.
