Mr Alicea and J-Roc decided that they were above a request in bold type and size 7 font to edit their photos and comments.

They are banned for seven days.

We do not tolerate bashing others and we do not allow bashing preachers.

No one is going to admit it or confess it but there are a lot of hurt, angry and bitter people towards UPC that go way back . their lashing out is unresolved hurt.

I'm not pointing my finger in Judgment as I too have had some Bad feelings arise towards organization but once I realized it MEN in the organization NOT the Organization itself I no longer made such broad sweeping judgments

They are welcome to discuss/declare their hurts.... while being civil about it....

Daniel A and J-Roc took it a bit overboard....

Don't they have anything better to do with their time?
I mean didn't Paul and Peter get into it ?
Weren't there issues of contention? See Acts 15.

Just curious....
My real thought are the connections....

If they are pastors and have to leave their congregation where will they go?

If they have a small church will they be able to substain and survive?

If they evangelize who do they call?

It is out of fear of the unknown that many feel the need to connect.

The men who have left started relationships before they broke away...

Just my thoughts.....

Not everyone has a beaten down attitude nor they have been hurt etc.

Many of the men who have left the UPCI or will leave shortly.

Have no problem with many of their friends in the organization.

They have not been hurt nor do they care...

All they want it the leading of the spirtit and the freedom to pursue the call of God.

The hurts usually develope once men who stay in the organization tear those apart for leaving....

I can be one of the UPCs biggest critics....but I look for constructiveness. There is nothing to defend, but there is nothing to destroy either. There is some things that need to change.

That's the problem with some folks...they either just don't realize it or they do realize it but hide it...that what they are doing is NOT in the interest of fixing something, but is really in the interest of damaging more.
