HOWEVER it's sad that he had to make this kind of decision. Whoever the people are that are forcing him to stop posting, I'm going to pray a computer virus into your computer. I hope your websites become avaiable for public viewing before you complete your committe and all other info

I agree. I understand where the humor is coming from, but I think people would be really suprised at how much manuvering is going on behind the scenes. And just think, Thad isn't even a licensed preacher, but because he has a ministry, he is a position to be threatened. Yes, I said it, threatened! It is a travesty to me.

Thad has had to take a break in the past because when the "heat" came on from other posters...posters would call his pastor or call others and turn the heat up for his family, etc. There would be an admin who would lock things up and censor things, make comments on the forum and then "beg" Thad to come back on his phone....that the forum is not the same.

And people wonder why anonymity is important on this forum.

It really is amazing that there would be no heat when people and events outside of UPC were discussed, but when it was "in house"....it's heat and phone calls.

People know what happens in the "Tab" and speak against it, but can't help themselves from coming in and snooping around.

Anyway....I am not saying there is manuvering behind the scenes, as I really think someone went and called other people. I am trying to reach Thad now.

Believe me when I tell you, he was railroaded off of this forum by paranoid preachers who are not use to anyone having any say but the UPC elitist.

The California Cons got their way on this one.

Those cons and ultracons are amazing!!!!
First they split the UPC and now they still control it! and apparently AFF too!
A shadow government?
The Illuminati?

This is really sad.
I hope they really feel tough now.
I say Thad start his own forum just to spite them.

All I will say, is that Thad did love this place and the people of this forum. I know what he went through and was feeling the last time he said goodbye and it was a very difficult decision. He lurked but would not post because there were people out here doing some things. He was gone for about 3-4 months and was not coming back. A couple of admin called and asked and it was not an immediate decision.

Anyway, there is enough people on here to stand behind or deny any information that comes out. It happens over and over again. And instead of going to Thad...they call others.

He will be missed....as will other posters that have gone on. However, can you blame him?

Those people, whoever they are, will be responsible for the death of another forum.

You're spot on! Preachers have called Thad's pastor to complain about him and this forum! In fact, there's been three preachers do this within the last week!

My opinion is that sometimes the truth hurts! It makes some folks uncomfortable when their intentions and motives are brought into the light! They're uncomfortable because they are usually the ones doing it to others!

Perhaps what would be needed is a private forum and not a public one.

I just told Thad in the last few weeks that though posting on this forum can be fun, ananimity (sp?) is of the UTMOST importance. It's sad that people sign on here looking for people that can hurt.
