Hey, think I could speak at a WPF conference?

Many within the WPF crowd can be heard to criticize the "Pastor as Dictator" model. NW might be another example of one. The only common thread amongst those folks seems to have been a desire to "spank" the UPC for one reason or another.

I've never met Pixler, and with his background I guess I'd have to confess that he's probably an exception to this; however if he was never UPC to begin with and isn't even WPF now, I guess his independence speaks for itself.

None of them would refer to themselves as dictators, of course. They'd clothe it in different clothes.

Pixler has never been UPCI to my knowledge, though I heard he was on staff in Northern California at a UPCI-endorsed church. Anyone can confirm? Maybe even possibly San Jose. The independent brethren he hung with though were all in the mold of Phil White and the PSR Boys. But Pixler seems like a fish out of water with those characters.

Steve Pixler has never been UPC. He grew up in an independent church in Ft Worth that consistently fought against the UPC. (I don't think the UPC California staff job is correct.) His dad was very much anti-UPC as well as anti-tithes. (Don't know if Steve is anti-tithes and anti-UPC as his dad was.) He came out of a very strict, everything that a person might consider doing was wrong, atmosphere. He has done a great job in Ft Worth. A man of integrity and an honest person.

His dad was in fellowship with several independent oneness churches that were very much anti-tithes. Don't know what Steve's teaching on this is.

Someone just sent this to me via PM:

Yes, the California staff job is correct. He worked there several years. Steve is not anti-tithes or anti-UPC, and his dad is not any longer either.

What do you guys mean by "anti-tithes?"

Sounds funny. Do you mean he didn't support the Evangelical and Pentecostal teaching on tithing that you must give 10% or be cursed by God?

If so... sign me up.
