Thanks Ferd. I've met personally L. Booker, K. Godair and Crawford Coon. None of these men on the personal level came across as unreasonable or "hard" men. I liked them all, particularly K Godair and C Coon.
Of course a fair amount of time has passed since then. Time and leadership changes what the issues are at a given time.

Hmm, Bro Smith thinks the only way healing can come is to capitulate to those who are leaving. Somehow that seems wrong to me.
Why not stay and work things out?
My thoughts exactly, why is healing only to be achieved by those leaving ultimately getting their way?? Whose definition of healing are we using? And, I have no idea if the convention center in Tulsa will be big enough or not, but how many of those attending will be spectators?
I was at a large WD event last night, and I felt a strong spirit of unity. I guess we all will see the outcome eventually, but I'm a little tired of the doomsday theatrics.
Does one leave a marriage because they are disappointed, grieved or hurt? Or is it because these feelings lead to anger which makes them be assertive and leave the situation?
If you were not angry, you would not leave or encourage your buddies to leave. If you were not angry, you would pray that God's will be done. You would find some way reconcile.
I don't see that coming from you at all! I see you gloating about a "Titanic" going down!
A big fat amen! It looks more like a gloat than a disappointment. It looks more like a lie coming from a preacher than the truth.
I dealt with this same attitude from another UC last night. Since Res 4 passed the UPCI has go to the dogs to hear them tell it. The truth of the matter is that the vote didn't go the way they wanted so now they are mad and are beginning to become bitter. I think it very sad.
Again you are wrong. Would you stay in a marriage where your wife was unfaithful?
Top say I at gloating is a pine blank lie. You don't know me, only what you read here. You have not seen the tears I have shed. You have not known how I have grieved over this. I have not encouraged one person to leave.
It wasn't God who took the UPC in the direction of TV it was carnal men.
You will recieve the same judgment that you give, I promise you that! I didn't join an organization to cater to one group over the other, nor did I join this org to coddle a crybaby preacher!
