Not that I think this thread has any validity, but in defense of Coop and as a point of information to Trouvere, it has been posted in another thread that non-ministry members of an "Affiliated" UPC are considered non-voting members of the UPCI.
Non-voting members. Congratulations, you have all the rights of a non member

But God had others plans for him, even though his Pastor insisted it was not the will of God.
My Pastor followed God and left.

That is good. Because at the end of the day we have to answer for our actions. I think that for too long that pastors have used the verse that says obey them that rule over you for they watch for your souls, a little too much. What I mean is that they use it a form of controlling what you do. They try and make you feel bad for them so you will obey what they say. It is crazy what they do sometimes
Because I was not there to vote the one time the vote was held. But later I found out that because of the bi-laws of that church it would not have mattered. The church allows the saints to vote, but if they pastor does not like the choice then he can override it. Interesting huh?
