It surprises me that there are UPC churches that are still around like this. I mean, I've experienced that almost 20 years ago!!! The only ones I know of are not UPC, but very strict like that. I call it the "Gestapo Syndrome". LOL!

How stupid and horrible for people to act, live and believe like that!!! I wasn't going to say anything else, but Hell ought to be hotter for people who suppress lives in this way! Good grief! :pullhair

In UPC of Georgia - they have rules against wearing Mickey Mouse Watches, Ball caps with a "B" for the Braves, split skirts of any kind, any kind of ring including wedding rings, lip gloss - I AM NOT KIDDING! I was there when they passed it! They have a Mustache & split skirt committee.
21 stupid rules and some of them simply racist! But - FOGERTY can lie in the pulpit and in the open court on a Bible and that is OK????????
Maybe Mr Driver will be the pastor of this church when Fogerty is elected as the Super of GA!

Maybe they're thinking about John 8:7. ;)

True and the main reason I left - the blatant double standard. Many preach one thing and live another.

Most of the UPC preachers who use to post here don't post here anymore. :bigbaby

Well, I am UPC and called of God but not ordained by any organization. I've already taken my stance, so I see no need for any further comment.

You appear to be seeking a level of accountability that many of these same guys have spent their careers avoiding.

The "defense" presented in this case was simply incompetent. It's just more of the same angry "we're being persecuted" passive/aggressive nonsense over and over.

I learned to handle these guys the first time I stood up to a bully on the playground. After taking several punches to the face I squared my shoulders, took a deep breath and laid into the guy. He immediately went crying to the teacher. These "Underwear Police" and their gestapo tactics are no different. Just stand up to them and they'll buckle in fear.

Most of them know they don't have Truth on their side. Those that aren't aware of this fact will soon be made painfully aware. For too long we've allowed small men with small minds to force their tiny myopic vision of a small god upon us. It's way past time that the Oneness people wised up and demanded better from their "leaders."
