I don't make a living being UPC. I survive by the grace of God because I'm a Man of God. I suspect you do too.
It has long strained my understanding that people (I have no clue if your are or aren't one of them) that continually blast the organization and disagree with so much of what it stands for would ever want to stay in it.
To change it? There are enough flavors of Pentecost out there they could find something more akin to their beliefs in a lot of places.
To keep fellowship? Why seek fellowship with those you vehemently disagree with?
To keep a Church? Disaffiliation is easy enough to do... if even needed as many are not affiliated.
If I disagreed with so much of what it stood for I would find another group and I surely wouldn't sign the, what was it called... ? The 'infernal' statement?
I guess my brand of integrity simply wouldn't allow it.

My problem isn't with the infernal document (although I think its stupid). My problem is with the infernal freaky-cons who demand everyone who doesn't see things through their coffee-stirrer view is lost, and dying and going to Hell on a tricycle.
I have no intention of leaving, if for nothing else than to make their lives miserable. tic If you will notice, I have not once bashed the UPC. I have, however, railed against the supposed old-time warpos that polarize the movement.
