Hello!

I've been reading on this forum for several months. Finally registered this week. I was in the UPC for 20 years, until I wasn't, about 20 years ago. The "ultra-conservative movement" came to be after I left, I guess. At least I didn't know the terminology.

I don't attend church anywhere now. 2 of my 3 sons are in an ultra-con church. My youngest is more liberal. (He's the one that calls me Papa Bear, hence the username.). I shall remain anonymous as to not further deteriorate my relationship with my 2 oldest sons, please understand that. I'm not hiding a sordid past or anything.

I won't post much, I'm just curious. I sort of like to watch you smack the trolls around, go back and forth about doctrinal issues, and discuss the Bible. As for my beliefs, I believe in a Creator. I was turned way off by this "pastoral authority" mindset years ago, and remain so today.

I don't consider myself a rebel, I just like to do my own thinking. Thanks for the forum.
