Not all UPCI officials consider questioning an abominable act. (bashing) There are many who are willing to discuss things without repercussion. The problem is in knowing who these trustworthy men are. All it takes is 1 or 2 to make the life of a minister miserable for asking too many sincere and honest questions. To balance it out, there also those who ask incessant questions and who are always trying to tear down instead of sincerely seeking answers.

However, since I have been out of the UPC, I cannot tell you how many contacts I have had with folks in the UPC who are fearful of dialogue for fear of being ostracized. Some have even been at HQ. Too many are labelled compromisers for simply asking about an observation, inconsistency etc.

The AS didn't need to make things inquisitorial...it was already that way.
