I used to try to sympathize with you, but I have many friends that left the UPC and they never ever come off as vitriolic like you.

You took what was a topic about TV and Internet and made it about other board members morality.

I forgot to mention.....thank you for giving me the proper credit for turning a snoozer of a thread into the hot topic of the day!Just admit it, I'm good for business! And I'll guarantee you there are ultra-cons out there cheering me on, on this one!

Like I said, change of doctrine, not attitude.

That is what makes UCs and LCs what they are

First sentence, correct. Second sentence, incorrect. I'm simply calling on those who swear to do something, to actually do it. Secondly, I'm pointing out the fact that every attender is called out in the Articles of Faith. There actually ARE legal contradictions within the denomination of the UPC. It's called a fellowship of ministers, but isn't operated that way at all. And while true that there is a difference between an affilated church and a non-affiliated church, the term "Our People" is inclusive of all who are members of both categories of churches.

So while an attender may say, "But I'm not UPC", it's very clear that the organization itself doesn't agree by the terminologies they use in their directives.

You know, I knew when I posted what I did, it would start a fight. I thought about starting my own thread but then realized that I didn't need the credit that badly. But actually, maybe I did since I'm grabbing the credit now!

And the term "Disapprove" is not a rule. UPC churches are autonomous. They do not have to have membership requirements. People that attend UPCs do not have to swear oaths unless a pastor requires it.

"We disapprove" is nothing more than "we disapprove"

It is not an attendance requirement
