That's true, but you said I could ask anyone in Canada - I chose her (Intending humor - asking an ex-wife is about like asking a mother-in-law)

My prediction is T Wynn will get lots of support privately and anonomously and the Atlantic dist. could be jepordized. Dumb Dumb Dumb, why ? because they have let worse pass for years ie: Tekle's situation in Pakistan.So Bottom line is what was it ? management style ,old school style vs the young turks ? what ??

What was Tekle up to in Pakistan?

he taught and wrote a book on divine flesh teaching ,everyone knew what he beleived all the way back to his spiritual mother and father Kenneth and Bobbi Wendell , (was their first convert)he always thought God talked to him only with revelations and they ignored it until it was too late (after he wrote a book stating it) then a select few ministers forced the issue and they called him on it so he dumped the upc and had people that didn't leave with him, put in jail and tortured over there by using govt cronies.in addition to church property being lost that was financed by churches over here !

Didn't TFT play the old "one-step vs. three-step" card years ago and get the job of Foreign Missions Czar by proclaiming in feigned righteous indignation, "We have missionaries that don't even preach the plan of salvation"? or something like that.

Don't recall that of TFT. Guess I have also been under the impression that most one-steppers in UPC remained incognito about their official stance, i.e. 1993 affirmation statement.

But, what about Pakistan?

If the work in Mexico,is indeed sovereign,how can a missionary be dropped by the GMB ?
If God called the brother to be a missionary what does it matter if one receives recognition or not ?
Isn't this kind of like telling a Pastor to turn in his credentials because he didn't ask permission to preach in a independent church ?

If the brother was not dropped of his credentials why drop him as a missionary ?

I guess I'm too dumb to understand organizational politics.
