Sorry, I had to do this. The fellowship our family came out of was one strict group. That stuff about the ACI is so dead on. I got tickled over it....

Lots of good men have belonged to the ACI...I might not personally agree with some things but we should not class everyone together...(just a thought)
No we do not belong and have never belonged...

You might be _________ (independent, UPC, ACI, whatever) if you...

...Preach against TV but spend an hour or two in the TV section of walmart when you leave town.

...Your pastor preaches against worldly music-and proceeds to name all the popular artists by name, and quotes some of the lyrics for good measure.

...You hear a message like the one above, don't know what he's talking about, and run to work early the next day to check it out.

... You still preach against video but don't count anything under 5 minutes.

...Your church preaches against internet, so you add the data package to your phone service.


You might be independent if...
... In your fellowship the devil is blamed for more things than the president.

You might be UPC if in your fellowship the president is blamed for more things than the devil.



Couldn't resist...

Oh I know. Please dont get me wrong. We have a lot of friends in the ACI. Lots of good men. But they are kinda famous. Their meetings are something to behold. Many more good men have been kicked out for being to liberal, of the which I wont mention their names. But our family saw it happen. The comment I made is something you would hear at a meeting. Believe me. lol...

Yeah... that was pretty funny.

A lot of differences vary by church or area more than by name brand (aci, upc, independent, aljc). Some 'standards', attitudes and perspectives are as regional as accents.

Kind of like the redneck jokes, some fit and some don't, but we all know someone who has done at least some of these things, no matter their brand.

I agree we need to be careful not to stereotype. If we don't, these are hilarious. If we do, the humorous can become dangerous.
