No Double Dipping? General Board votes against ..

[Jehoram]

If they do this...and more than one source has told me that a District is already penning a resolution to do so...the liberalization of the UPC will be lightening quick.

This will set of a painful chain of events short term .... it will result in some carnage ...

[Jehoram]

Yes, this will be ugly.

[Mrs. LPW]

Hasn't it been a bit ugly already? I can't really see how it will change the course of events in a great way. But... maybe it will.

Has anyone verified the vote?

You know this is exactly the reason that my dad fought the resolution so hard. Many people misunderstood that, don't get me wrong he is not for TV, but he is not stupid either. His biggest problem with it was what the results would be. He knew that this would be the excuse that some were looking for, and that it would be incredibly divisive. He wanted to wait until it was an issue that had to be dealt with (as in, technology forced our hand) rather than a choice. He hated seeing this tear the organization apart.

And here it is again, pushing people out the door. It is really sad.

If I am not mistaken there are some pretty conservative guys on the board so I would think if this is true it will be widespread shortly.

I'm reminded of that soap opera, "As My Stomach Churns".

Will it keep Jesus from returning? Will it negate God's call on a man's life? Will it stop folks from finding salvation in Jesus?

Then it's probably not big a deal in the whole scheme on things as soem might think.......

If this is true.......several members of the WPF General Counsel serve on the General Board, so this could be very interesting indeed.

I can quote a very well known conference preacher (name withheld to protect the guilty) who told his DS "please don't make me choose, because you might not like the choice I make." If the UPCI takes such a stand, the have not learned anything from their past. The AMF, AWCF, both gained members who had no intention of leaving, but were not going to be "forced" to be exclusive. IMHO this decision, if indeed true, would take the UPCI back into the dark ages as it relates to open fellowship and breaking down the walls that separate us that KH has been an advocate of.
