Talk about a controversial figure!

BTW, His books are not widely read.

Unless you consider the few hundred people dumb enough to slurp up that garbage a crowd.

So he's a highly requested campmeeting speaker .... but his books don't sell???

Is that what motivates you?

These men are walking away from a lot to remain true to their convictions.

As hard as it is for some of you more enlightened types to grasp, there are still men in this world who live according to principle and not expediency.

This post is better than just good... it's incredible. Too bad it won't be accepted by a few.

Here we go again...widely = what?

He is a nationally known figure. I'm sure that his books have been read wherever he has gone, by sheer curiosity

The UPC as a thriving organization is facing a very uncertain future. The economics alone along with the exodus of ministers, missionaries, church/district fellowships are in the air. To give any guess of numbers whether supporting or not supporting whether leaving or staying would be erroneous and ignorant on both sides. NO ONE KNOWS what will be happening over the next year. One's opinion is as good as the next guy's or gal's. I definitely have my own. But anyone saying that there is numerical evidence supporting ANY outcome is grandiose.

Of the many ministers Bro. Booker has spoken with about this, I would have no doubt that many of them are upset. His fellowship of bretheren are those who would be upset with the result of this vote. Who are you to say this is evangelistical? Were you in on these discussions? Do you know final numbers?? You have a vote total, but, the margin of victory was less than 1.6% of the total voting population. Check the numbers? You would be wise to use another set of numbers when issuing this statement.

What would we consider a split?

200?

500?

Over 1000?

Can we really consider the departure of this small insignificant group of insurrectionists a split?

I'll repeat part of my previous post. IMO it does not matter which side of the debate one may find themselves, the attacks on the character of men who stand on either side is unwarranted. Further, if one feels the need to launch these attacks, I think they are void of any substance on the issue and resort to such remarks out of ignorance or arrogance which are kissing cousins.

perhaps 2005-2006.He's from the Dallas area(name slips my mind right now).I believe he dropped out of UPC shortly after the marriage - caught tremendous flack for it

I could start a truth thread on my life and times with the Mark David Hanby family from 1975.

I spent the entire school year in the same Public school class 5th grade with Todd Hanby.

I ran into them when the Genreal conference went back to Ft. Worth, maybe 1983-1984?

I can tell you when Gloria Hanby took Todd, Mark Jr. Myself and my younger brother Philip to the Go-kart track. We had a blast.

Gloria seemed sad...

It would be happy days for Gloria if she did find someone to be with...
