That's correct.

Then, I will change the title of this thread. We are trying to make this a balanced forum. I get the complaints about the forum always making the UPC look bad and these ex-UPC threads always head in that general direction.
You guys just enjoy.

Yep, the UPC does a good enough job of making itself look bad.
J/K - I couldn't resist.

Re: *SHOCK*conversation from group that left churc
I remember about 26 yrs ago there was a huge expose on the Glasses from Sherman, Tx.
Some of these same topics were being aired on the 6:00 p.m. TV news. They were pastors on a UPC there. I am just so surprised to be still reading about this.

There's no greater sentence in this thread than that one right there...
I visited that link and I couldn't even read their posts without tears welling up in my eyes. Bitterness is a cruel thing...

Re: *SHOCK*conversation from group that left churc
Interesting message board. And this is considered a "liberal" preacher??
It must also be a pretty big church for so many people to have been effected by it.
