My opinion and $5 will get you coffee at Starbucks.

So for it is no different than having a membership to a health club (like Curves) because they do NOT issue license.

I suspect the leadership of the UPCI will have to deal with that before the next GC.

This appears to me to have far reaching consequences.

It is my opinion that the "Tulsa 6" have for some time held a super voting block in the UPC. Maybe not all six, but at least the California contingent.

It is interesting that the new WPF has set up an organization using the term Elder for it's structure...which is interesting.....because the word Elder is a Biblical Term....something like
49 Elders???

my question is "Would you have the same opinion of the WPF concerning the hierarchy and structure as you do of the UPC"?

And if you would by chance 'buck" the system there are going against your "Elders"?

Jus' Thinkin'....Don't know if this has been brought up or not.....

Just checked their Website....Maybe the 49 Elder thing has gone away...anybody know???

If the UPC organizational structure is not "biblical" and consequently "sinful" then the WPF structure is both also because it's the exact same thing, no matter what name its originators call it.

The utter muddleheadedness of the mentality: "just changing the label on it makes it right" ... is astounding.

By the same logic, the WPF crowd thinks if you call a horse a duck then that horse will grow feathers, start quacking and fly south for the winter.

But ingrown thinking such as this is the byproduct of a oneness pentecostal ministerial body that is largely uneducated and unable to think critically.
