The 200 curse!!!
It seems to me, that many UPC churches are cursed with never being able to get their attendance above 200. Why is this...???

What is your opinion on large UPC churches (1000+)..??? There aren't many, believe it or not.

Do you think there will ever be mega UPCI churches..??

It has nothing to do with UPC. It's a growth-barrier for every church.

Re: The 200 curse!!!
Is it a curse that many people today do not have large families. Why do many today want a large congregation. Large families make bigger churches. Some seem to want mega churches, but do not want to contribute much to it themselves.

One of the rules will be that you have to name every child with the same first letter within a given family. Oh wait, it doesn't need to be a rule since they tend to do that anyways.

Why are there so many divorces amongst tongue talkers, if they are the only ones saved, why are the divorce rates similar to the world?
