I did get it from some conservative source...

I have an Harvestime ad from the 80's where it list "all messages" preached at General Conf...it does not list Elder Ballestero's message

What about the Westburg tapes??? The Bean tapes??? What about the Treece books???

And IF Apostolics are the main customers of PPH why in the world do they sale Rick Warren

Back about 4 or 5 years ago I called Harvestime and attempted to purchase this message from them. After an initial 'dead silence' from the other end of the phone I was told I was told that that message not available any more. I asked why that was since all of the other message from that conference were still available. I was told that they couldn't sell it any more since the preacher was no longer UPC. Oddly enough if you go through the list of messages preached at general conference that are available for sale you will find a sprinkling people who are no longer UPCi. Apparently, not all nonUPC preacher are being censored.

Through the years different Oneness authors, even within the fellowship, have been banned from PPH's shelves.

At one time Tommy Tenney and Morton Bustard were off limits. Elder Reynolds was off-limits for a while as well -even though he was UPC.

The first two were removed because of the publisher they chose to use, and it's Charismatic leanings. The last one was removed for purely political reasons at the command of NA Urshan.

Amazingly, Bro Smith (the preterist) still has his "Rightly Dividing" material on the shelves of PPH.

It would be wise to note that most of these decisions do not originate in the office of the PPH Administrator (as he is virtually powerless). These decisions come from higher up.

The UPC has an Editorial and Publications Committee that determines such things.

I have no doubt that these decisions are made a little farther up the food chain than the office of the administrator.

By the way, which Reynolds was it that was banned by Urshan?

I think it may have been the book "The Cry Of The Unborn" a little controversial if I remember correctly.

Ralph Reynolds wrote it.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that that book was available through PPH at one point. I'm not sure that it is anymore but I'm sure I saw it in one of the catelogs at some point. I remember being surprised by seeing it there.?

JMO

PPH sells books by Swindoll and many others outside the UPC. So if they quit selling these ex-upc people's books, it will appear as being very vengeful and hypocritical.
