So that we can have a good discussion on the subject based on understanding, let me point out that I have maintained that the men leaving are very good men who deserve utmost respect.
RKT, again you havent explained why resending Res 4 brings healing? At this point, resending res 4 MIGHT stop a split, but do you really think that will bring healing?
I agree healing is needed, but I dont really understand how resending Res 4 will bring healing?
Im glad you arent leaving.
Once again a typo that brought tears of laughter to my eyes. Now I know that I make more than my fair share of typos and misspellings but mine are always boring.
To misspell "rescind" as "resend" is just plain funny because to re-send something would be the opposite of rescinding it.
No disrespect intended, but how do you think he has tunnel vision? Brother Smith made a statement about healing that needs to take place within the UPC, he didn'e mention how. It was a general statement. I've seen him start threads, but not go into detail about anything.
Go back and read his initial post - it seems he thinks the only healing will be brought about if KH goes to Tulsa and reverses the decision made by the constituency.
Maybe this decision IS the healing that the UPCI needed........the dissension will now be minimized by the departure of those who do not agree with the decision.

LOL! I am glad I could provide you with a bit of comic relief!

Just a few weeks ago I was privileged to spend some time with one of the giants of Pentecost period over the last 60 years, of the UPCI in particular and I asked him a question as things were leading up to the Tampa conference.
I said that I wished they could interview KP and ask him if leaving the UPCI over this issue was worth it after all. This elder's response astounded me. He said that he was good friends with KP and had recently visited that church on a whim and KP saw him and had him come up and preach for him. (I write that to establish the man's "verifieds" as others on here will claim this is gossip or he is not friends with KP, probably will anyhow but there it is.) He said that on two different occasions over the years since he left the UPCI that KP had made attempts to get back in and both times was rebuffed. He told me that KP told him that it is vicious and lonely running in the circles he is running in.

Some food for thought ...
KP's finally getting ready to have plenty of company!
