Thank you MOW! I appreciate you being so transparent.

I have appreciated this Forum as being diverse. I wouldn't want one frame of mind dominating.

I like to study out the scriptures and will do that. It doesn't mean I am bashing the UPC, any other organization or independent.

Honestly, there have been some threads and posts that have really ticked me off because they seemed to be UPC bashing at the lowest. It could just be my frustration with it, because I don't want to leave, God hasn't told us to leave and I don't like people making me feel stupid for staying in.

There are going to be some posts and threads that just push some buttons. I generally don't respond and sometimes log out.

Even in the midst of all of that - I want it to be diverse. If I can't handle the heat, then I will get out of the kitchen - for a while.

There is a log out function.

Its life the "Affirmation Statement" all over again.
MOW you are wrong!!! WE CAN CO-EXSIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We must...for only then would we TRULY be APOSTOLIC!

No, owner, admin, moderator or poster has the corner market on the true definition of "Apostolic". THAT is the bottom line!

I know all three of you owners that are UPCI Pastors...you are good guys.

BUT...MOW is a wonderful Christian man. I have known him for over 20 years and have preached in his pulpit.
HE was a "casualty" of the "Affirmation Statement" and I find it sad, and the thought of him being a "casualty" of this forum makes me feel literally sick to my stomach.
I

I think this would be a PERECT time for all to sit back and ask ourselves...what is our direction and our purpose here. Is it dialogue among friends, ministerial collegues, and other fellow Christian Bro and Sisters or is it about trying to force into a mold of conformity.

The underlying opinion of mine is this....MOW has no complaints of how he was treated....and he was clear about how respectful folks have been to him.

BUT I sense hurt in him that he would have to make the choice to leave his forum family......
It is sad that ten years later he is forced to make the same decision.


WHEN WILL WE LEARN!!!

Gotta go.....this really hurts and totally, IMO displeases the very throne of Grace.
