(THE FOLLOWING IS A PARTIAL RESPONSE MADE IN ANOTHER THREAD)
The AWCF is inclusionary by its nature and includes over 180 affiliate organizations under its umbrella.
The WPF by contrast is exclusionary by nature and a major catalyst to its formation in present form was the passage of Res 4 by the UPCI in Tampa. Most importantly it was intended from its inception to provide an alternative to the UPCI, to deny that now would be somewhat disingenuous by the leadership.
However, ... I personally believe the WPF men to be men of integrity and would not presume to impinge their motives.
Which brings us back to the original premise of the thread; organizational consistency.
Ignoring the foundational intent of the various organizations, and looking at the matter dispassionately,
Bishoph has a valid point: AWCF does also have HQ, organizational hierarchy, an official magazine, missions board, Bible Quizzing, Articles of Faith, are involved in licensing, regularly hold meetings and conferences etc. IF the UPCI were to enforce dual membership ban against the WPF and not the AWCF it would indeed be hard to justify.
