Many people around the country enjoy this same teaching that is done with love, honor and respect to the people in the congregation by the pastor.
Others around the country are not treated with respect by the pastor teaching the UPC Apostolic Doctrine. If you attend one or more UPC sponsored churches that teach "truth" and they are teaching and treating others disrespectfully, what is one to think?
This is a free country. So why do some UPC Pastors feel that they can be little dictators in the name of Jesus?
Apparently, the UPC leadership's right hand in Hazelwood MO has no idea what it's left hand in the rest of the country is doing concerning how some teach it's doctrine.

Of course, the same is true with any denomination. Doesn't make the "messege" wrong, just the "messenger". In these cases, despite common understanding, you CAN shoot the messenger.
