I can't blame you for leaving especially if your people are in agreement and such....

I feel sorry for men who has spent their entire lives in an organization that has left them like the Democratic party has left Zell Miller. It will not be easy with all the connections. But some separations are evidently of the Lord.

There is much going on in Pentecost right now and yes I think it is of the Lord. God as an eagle is stirring the nest. Those organizational lines that once were a barrier are melting and likeminded men are seeking each other out much like those as the tower of Babel sought those out who spoke their language. Fellowship now will be determined by the message-life-ethics of the preacher NOT a card. That day is over thank the Lord.

We agree on your last sentence. There will be more unity for all. The ultra cons who despised the video screens, music, etc will be happier with those who think like them and the mods and libs will be happier without always having to defer to the weaker brothers to keep unity.

Water seeks it's own level. But I do feel for men who have spent their entire lives inside the UPC to have it change on them. But they will find out there is life outside the UPC.

I do somewhat understand that however when they got their license the app. was very clear about most of those things. Only the Atlantic district came in without agreeing to what the app specifies with maybe the exception of those who were originally part of the merger.
