I at looking for a strong conservative church.

I visited there once when we were on vacation quite a few years ago...I think they are "typical UPC standards for the area, if you are referring to 'dress codes' "......If you're UPC, you should like it.

Hmmmmmmm.....sounds like Wholeheated is just going to have to have church in his hotel room since apparently they will be the only "holy" people in that area on Sunday.

To be honest, I can't see why WH started this thread in the first place. Surely he had to have know what the responses were going to be. Brother Epley's not around but I am sure he would know of someone to WH's liking. I know of at least two churches in Owensboro that would fit WH's bill, but I don't know of any in TN.

When I am traveling, I thoroughly enjoy visiting different oneness churches. I do not go there to see what other people are wearing or think about dress standards. I go there to worship God and hear the word of God. When I am away from home for extended periods of time, I need desperately to hear the Word of God and have some fellowship. The last thing on my mind is going in to inspect someone's standards and I am not saying that is what Whole Hearted was talking about doing.

I think Wholehearted will proudly tell you that is exactly what he does.

He has posted before about his teenage son coming home with a report about how "worldly" the UPC kids are at the area camp or youth meetings.

Sounds like a "chip off the old block". No doubt his son will be carrying on dad's fine tradition of posting holier than thou missives some day.

We must all be careful in how we bring up our children.........It's an individual walk with God, but so many of the children who grew up with the holier than thou mentality are the ones not going anywhere to church today and they are so bitter against God.

I have seen others with conservative standards whose children are still attending church and living for God. The attitude about the standards and why we do things is where the FAMILY - and not the church - is so important. ........It's what goes on BEFORE church and AFTER church that young minds are tuning into the most.

We taught when we went to a church that had different standards: Respect those who are different and keep your opinions to yourself....Those opinons might just hurt someone later, including yourself. You never know where you're going to face that person later in life.

Yes but he is none to pleased with most of the UPC. He has posted that before. When I asked him why he didn't just leave he mentioned that where he is at there are a few as conservative as him so he can put up with the others.
