I grew up in the UPC, but come on! This is EXTREME!

It is exactly this kind of stuff that is the reason the vast majority of people who ever leave the UPC would never go back.

Once you get away from this goofiness and look back at it you realize how sad it really is that these good folks are caught up in chasing imaginary bogeymen in the most innocent of things.

Some actualy worship their own supposed "piety".

So disrespectful. Would it kill you to say Brother Copeland. Brother Tim Copeland is one of the finest men I have ever know. We came out of the same church and same youth group. He being 4 years older than I am. He has always been a great Christian and one of the best preacher in all of Pentecost.

There is NO ONE with more of a burden for the lost than Brother Coepland.

I don't believe that the TN district will lose any churches over this. If there
were any churches to leave, I think it would only be a couple of small
churches in rural areas.
