I do wish they had stayed around to help balance out the forum. Their presence is greatly missed

And as far as the forum swaying some posters beliefs, I've seen it...there have been some that you can almost set your watch by how quickly they change from one side to the other....it's like a swinging door. Not that the forum is to BLAME, it's just how immature they are in their own spirituality

Do I think some have an agenda? Sure, on both sides of the spectrum.

Do I think there are bitter cons and bitter libs, yes, there are BOTH on this forum.

Some people just have no idea how to convey their own beliefs without getting bitter or hiding behind veiled jabs at folks not like them....

The bottom line is, IMO, we are ALL supposed to be "christian" first and foremost, regardless of what we believe with regard to standards and other "doctrinal" issues.......And it seems more often than not, we lose sight of that whole "christ like" aspect of our relationship with God and others....especially when we are hidden behind a screen.

I think people can come to an internet forum and post in complete animonity but if they use that animonity to lash out and be downright RUDE and hateful, well that brings into question their CHRISTIAN character more so than if they are ex-UPC, UPC or otherwise.

It's not about what acronym you associate with...it's about your ability to handle yourself in a Christ Like fashion on a public, internet forum.

Irregardless, there are folks out there that are vulnerable, looking for an argument or an excuse, we all have a responsibility to handle ourselves accordingly. Whether you agree with me or not, we arent just supposed to live a Godly life in the real world.

I think some cons got fed up with the un-Christ like attitude from ALL sides and chose to go elsewhere, I wish they had stayed to balance out the views here...


Just my two cents.

And no, it's not some "conspiracy".....it just happened.

Good post Theresa!
