I'd just hate to think that someone was wishing for me to leave because I wasn't in agreement with everything. There has to be room for diversity.

It's possible to hold a different point of view but still work together for unity and to make things better like I said earlier. If I was in the UPC this would be my attitude. I'd want to work together with others and use my influence in a positive way. At the same time not compromising my own personal convictions if something became an issue.

Isn't this how the org was formed in the beginning?! I sure think so, sis...

I will say that Kansas Preacher is a man of principle tempered by kindness and compassion... I doubt he will pushed into a corner by any of this...

I have never met him personally but have talked here and other places with him and found him to be a Good Man...

hahahaha....I'm laughing, because I don't feel that way at all!!! There are things about UPC I don't agree with or even like, but they sure have the doctrine right and I don't go around making threats to leave either. (well, maybe only in private!)

I guess my whole point is that if someone is going to complain about UPC and then make threats to leave they probably should

This thread was meant in Fun and kidding around. You know that we've cut up before and had fun on other threads. I realize that some are really upset right now and very sober about the passing of the vote. I am sorry if this thread was offensive in any way- it was not meant to be.

Ilove you and hope the very best in whatever your decision is !

That is not exactly so.

I preach for men and have had men preach for me who are considerably to the left of where I stand.

For example, those who have an issue with the TV thing don't have to advertise; neither do they need to okay its usage. But they can still stay in fellowship with the rest of the body (UPC body) and work to maintain their more conservative views and positions.

We need this. We need it in order to achieve and maintain balance. I've come to very much appreciate and respect my brothers and sisters who are more "conservative" than I might be in some areas.

My best closest friend (Pastor's wife from back home) is very conservative. Do you find that surprising? LOL!


(Just wanted to clarify what I meant by the last statement I bolded in the quoted post above.)

KP has a great sense of humor and is in no way thin-skinned.

You and me stand on pretty much the same piece of ground.
