No they arent, they are getting on with their life b/c they made a choice they were comfortable with...

some folks just want attention and justification for inactivity.

I can agree with this. I came to a conclusion a few years back that if I really wanted to be free from the UPC, every decision I made could not be influenced by the UPC. And I wonder if most who leave the UPC are allowing the UPC to control them, even if they proclaim it's lack of control. When you are doing everything you do in order to be anti-UPC, the UPC is still a major influence in your life -- whether you like it or not.

In other words... they're still not over it, regardless of how much they scream that they are.

They have not moved on...

I love this scripture..

1 Samuel 30:5-7 (King James Version)
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
