The Book of 2 Kings 2: 11-13 (NEW AFF INTERNET VERSION)
And it came to pass, as they still posted on, and talked about current events, that, behold, a big red limo appeared, with a big Hammond organ, and parted them both asunder; and Thad went in a California earthquake to that big newsroom in the sky.
And Daniel A. saw it, and he posted about it, saying "Relaible sources tell me about this new BOMBSHELL!" And he wrote about Thad no more: but went back to AFF to discuss the pros of the 1 step veiw. And he thumped of his own chest, and, with a voice of thunder, cried, "I'm more Apostolic than you all!"
He took up also the mantle of Thad that fell from him, and went back and posted the latest news on the Apostolic Friends Forum.
One Word: Priceless

This would be a huge miscalculation -IF IT's TRUE.
It will only serve to push more conservatives out the door.
I disagree.
the long standing rule in the UPCI is that you cannot hold dual membership with any other Apostolic organization.
You cannot be UPCI and ALJC
You cannot be AWCF and UPCI
why would one think they can be WWPF and UPCI?
makes no since to allow the WWPF guys to stay. Do disrespect here. simply being consistance (something the UPCI is all too often accused of NOT being. )
Im glad they got this done so soon.

I have a question for anyone who might have a serious or sensible answer... not for debate or ridicule...
Why would someone belong to both organizations at the same time?
For fellowshipping?
And, why would someone who was already looking at the WPF, for a preferred Apostolic future, be forced out by the UPCI making this decision?
Most likely if they were considering WPF they wouldn't be satisfied with the UPCI as it presently is.. and thus it wouldn't make much of a difference to whether they leave or stay.
I guess I'm thinking of how I would look at it, if I had a problem with the tv advertising etc.

A friend of mine, who has pretty good contacts w/the Gen Board, called me tonight. Since I had him on the phone I asked him about this and he said he could not confirm or deny. However, he said it made sense to pass this sort of thing though since it's what, as far as he knows, is already written into the manual that you can't carry cards w/two orgs.
He did tell me that he was invited to go hear Hillary Clinton speak at an ALJC church in the Buckeye state this weekend which I thought was pretty cool. He can't go because he can't afford the cross-counry airfare at such short notice.

A good source has reported that the General board of the UPCI has voted TODAY against dual membership for WPF and UPCI ministers. Has anyone heard this? If true ... what are the repercussions?
Good move. Since WPF has become exactly what the founders said it wasn't - a full-fledged organization, not fellowship - it would cause problems in the long run to have ministers serving under two very different bodies of ministers. Not to mention the various rules and regulations both organizations have.

Was the evolution accidental? Or were the founders less than forthcoming in their stated intentions?

I guess you can be UPC and NCO though.
Go figure.
You can join a group that has heretics of vasrious flavors under its "Big Tent" philosophy, but you can't join a group that believes what the UPC used to.
I get it.
