Pelathais,
I greatly enjoy interacting with you from time to time here on AFF, and even though I disagree from time to time with some of your ideology, we may not be that far apart in our core beliefs.
Having said that I do take issue with the above post. This post promotes the erroneous idea that Bro. King left the GB meeting in some kind of "victim" mentality or display. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Bro. King has reported that the GB made their decision after much prayer and healthy discussion. There was no mean spirit displayed by either side. (the rest of this is reported by others) After the GB made their final decision on the matter by way of voting, Bro. King addressed the GB with all humility, and after his subsequent resignation, the GB gathered around him and all of them prayed for him. It was a very amicable and noble departure, not one hewn with animosity and innuendo.
There are no card burning meetings planned, and if someone even tried such a thing, they would be immediately expelled from the WPF roster as that kind of attitude and spirit is totally against what the WPF stands for. JMHO
Bishoph thank you for this insight, sincerely. It adds much needed balance to the discussions.

bishoph, we have been on opposite sides of this, but I apprecaite you posting this. While I dont mind mixing it up about what is happening, It is important to be grounded with the truth of the situation.
we should all be praying that everyone in leadership on both sides of the issue maintains the same spirit as the General Board and Brother King exemplified.
Blessings.

Unless I am sadly mistaken Bro. King still holds a UPC license today. He did not resign - he is letting his membership lapse at the end of the first quarter. He did announce his intention of leaving.
As a note, Bro. King is a man of character and integrity.

the eyewitness accout is that it was turned in at the GB meeting.
I suppose, he is still licenensed until such time as his membership lapses. thus allowing for both views to be technically accurate.
however, baring some unforseen change of heart, Brother J. King is effectively out of the organization.

bro king is a good man, each has to choose his own path, he will let the lord help him make his choice, nothing else to say, it is good if he left with a good spirit even if he had a heavy heart, dt

i think it is wonderful that there was such a prayerful spirit in the meeting between brother King and the General Board.
clearly Brother King will no longer be a member of the UPCI... as you say, in 30 days or so.
I wonder how long this man has been in the UPC. It is very hard to leave what you have known all your life and I kinda feel sorry for these ultracons. They really believe that they are right and that someone needs to take a stand against the shift that they feel the UPC is taking.

This is really sad.
In a way it is sad. If they are leaving for conscience sake I admire their honesty.
When I left it was tough and I was just a member, though I do have a bit of UPC history. It must be tough for those that have invested most, if not all, their life's work. Their entire social network, for many, is invested in the UPC.
