I am just as certain there are good honest hearted men involved who are doing what they are doing out of absolute conviction.

Like any other man made organization there will be the good,bad, and ugly. That is the nature of imperfect human beings and the organizations they create.

The WPF was started by good God fearing men who are standing by their convictions and not going with the tide of worldliness .

So, when the G family withdrew from the UPCI over women preachers in the 60's they joined a group that approved TV's?

Can WPF survive the test of time?

When organizations or fellowships are young, the passion and enthusiasm are contagious. A fire fills the air. Everyone takes note, perhaps with alarm, of this new emerging force.

But, over time, leadership and core teams and committees can begin to tire and dwindle. The organization or fellowship then begins to take on bureaucratic tendencies as many people, once committed, return to their previous existence.

How do you sustain?

1. Establish a culture and purpose (check!)
2. Leaders with excellent leadership skills (Some seem to have - let's wait and see!)
3. Ability to Manage Change! Oops!

The whole reason for their existence is because they couldn't handle change! Oh well........

Funny thread.

I don't know if the question ever got answered on this thread, and I am not about to read through more than 20 pages to find out. Therefore, if my answer is redundant, so be it.

There were more than 200 who joined at the Tulsa meeting. They have had 1-2 more applications arriving every day.

It has been the M.O. of the officials of the UPC to downplay this at every turn. First, only 16 people got out. (I personally knew almost 30!) Now, only 72 have joined. Perhaps someone needs to take a refresher course in basic math.

Larry Booker talks about rapid rise in arrests internet porn and doesn't preach against the internet. How is that not going with the tide of worldliness. The wpf lives in a world of suspended animation.

What does that have to do with Acts 2:38 or ONE God? The lie purportrated by anti television movement is the message is compromised. Proof in pudding that isn't true. Women preachers is a separate issue from Acts 2:38
