Why do you not enforce the general constitution of the UPCI as it relates to ministers who have tv in their home, and watching things that are not wholesome?

If you are not going to see to it that this is enforced, then please take it out of the manual.

Dear Sir
Enforcement of this issue is on a district by district basis. Some do (see Kansas) and some don't (see Louisiana.) The General Board does not do enforcement on a local level.
Sorry for your misunderstanding.

St Matt. While I agree with that in part, the thing is, Jesus isnt gonna care if it was a minister or a saint on judgement day. The UPC manuel wont be what judges us but his word.

The past few days I have really been thinking about my own life and things in it that might not be as pleasing to the Lord as it could be. I have lately learned to worry about what my own life might appear to God and not worry so much about my fellow saints.

Over and over and over and over and over again.

The Chain of command should be there though. Do you make sure your district supervisors are making sure that the manual is enforced? Pass the buck all you want, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of KH and the general board to make sure that what is outlined within the manual is carried out and followed through. If you have placed DS in positions, and they are not doing their job, it is up to you to remove them, and put someone in there that will do the job.

Or check out and find a new organization.

To flaunt that one will break the rules is rebellion, same as witchcraft.

Hi Guys

Good to see you today.

While I realize there are a number of "issues" to discuss, let me just say that under the circumstance you all are doing a creditable job. Not as good as Bro. Epley, but then no one expects perfection from a Board, a Church maybe, but not a man made organizational board.

Last guy out, please turn the lights off.
