It was "cropped" because one of the subjects in the picture is naked. No male genitalia in these offices. At least not on the wall.

Not very "Worldwide" of them. Maybe they need a South American office? Not for organizational purposes, but for fellowship. And insurance.

So olétime, is this a new organization yet? Did the founders lead off with deception by telling others that it would not be one while they heavily recruited among the UPC constituency?

bishoph, I respect you and admire the way I've seen you handle disagreements. There were indeed many who were told one thing by the WPF founders only to see something else come to pass. You put that that experience in a very kind a helpful way. Others actually confronted these men and told them things like, "I know I-44 goes straight to Tulsa... that's where you're heading!" only to be assured that I-44 could actually lead to any number of places.

And, some really ugly things were said here to justify the the "need" for a new fellowship. Who can forget the "social drinking UPC pastor who uses people on his platform who shack up with young men without even backsliding..." accusation?

I know this for fact, as they continued to contact one of my brothers, who is a UPCI pastor, until he made it clear that he would appreciate it if they would stop.

The husband of a friend in TX has the same story...

Maybe they got the furniture at a WEC Ladies Auxiliary garage sale.

Maybe they ought to change their name to:....

COUNTRY WIDE PENTECOSTAL FELLOWSHIP!

Then with a name like that they could finance mobile homes on the side.

Be saved and have place to live. What and outreach!

My post you quoted? It was certainly light hearted but a serious question.

I take it the whole thread is just some sort of fun "I told so" kind of thing.

The offices look nice, but there's no staff. I wonder what motivated them to go through the obvious expense just for some organizational window dressing. There's a reception area and lunchroom just like a populated office.

They seem to expect that they'll be "surprised" by more activity and fruit from their recruitment efforts.

Cynics,

Doubting OleTimers,

Pessimists.....

Can't anyone run down the WWPF like we used to without someone getting all uptight about it?

LOL

You are probably right!
