It is a big deal when a church that had no intention of disaffiliating has their pastor threatened. And when that threat to remove him ends in a disaffiliation of the entire local assembly instead of one minister.

I wonder if we will still count them as "adherents"? You know, to inflate our worldwide growth totals?

300-400 is a good sized church ANYWHERE!

Oh my word! His integrity and livelihood on the line? Over disaffiliation?

Come on Daniel. If you think every detail is absolutely correct as posted here you need to take off the aluminum hat. The man's integrity was not questioned nor his job threatened. At least not where anyone can prove it.

Lest we forget, this seemingly all came about because the man wanted to do something in violation of a guideline.

And yes, I still think the scheduling was inconsiderate. Daniel, if the scheduling tables were turned you'd be singing a different tune I think.

There is that word "threatened" again. How is asking a man to comply with agree upon guidelines a "threat?"

If the man continues to hold his license then indeed they would probably be counted as adherents. Been that way for years.

I just have one thing to say.....I'm glad we removed ourselves when we did in 1991. We had heard rumors that they were "coming after us". I'm so thankful it didn't come down to that, and it was very peaceful. We still remain friends with many of the UPC guys here, or at least friendly acquaintances. There were no hard feelings.

I guess I'm simple minded but if one signs an agreement shouldn't they abide by it ?

I cannot say I ever miss it either from the last 20 mins I did watch at my Mom's a few years ago. Disgusting to think someone would sign an AS and then openly lie like this. Be a man, take a stand and simply turn in your card if you have to have this junk in your home.

Something I like about this post!
