Really though, Dandy? So many ex-UPCers are flooding into your church that you have to build a new building just to seat them all? So many folks who are "fed up" with the fact that the "ultra-con" juggernaut appears to have lost a little steam that they're walking out of the UPC churches in droves?

I'm certain that you're a very honest and sincere person, but I would like to gently challenge your assertion. I do so not because I disbelieve you- but I'd like to really see if that's the case somewhere.

Be careful, Pelathais. You know how this went in another thread......

I've known and have fellowshiped most of these men over the years. Love them all, but its not unusal for positions of leadership to effect people. Positions that they hold or fail to hold.

Who knows the heart? It seems that most of these men have held office or desired to hold office in the past. I think this whole thing is about power and control.

This new "fellowship" may afford them those opportunities.

Just my opinion.

As far as I know, none of his neighboring brethren had any intention of stealing his saints.

I'm not surprised at all that he is joining the WPF. He'll be happier with them...

accusation here?
I know of a neighboring pastor who, at a resteraunt after service, came to wm's youth and told them they needed to come to his church so they could have a real youth program .... sorry for the run on sentence

Careful there.

A lot of things have gone on in the neighborhood there that would make some interesting discussion if it were reported.

That is, until it got deleted.

I LIVED in the neighborhood...in fact right down the street from WM's church. It's a beautiful edifice and they are good people. Just more conservative than some. But it really bothered me that our friends from Texas Youth Camp weren't allowed to fellowship with us once we got home. That really ROTS when you're a kid. Had a hard time with that while I was growing up. Then the kids got attitudes toward us and it hurt.

That's the sad thing in this deal. Just like racial prejudice is taught and passed down from one generation to the next, there seems to be "holiness" prejudice too. I.E. We hold a higher standard so we can't soil ourselves by associating with those low-life heatherns over at Life Tab.

The folks at Life Tab are FAMILY to me...so it really bugs me that you would dis them...

I didn't dis anybody, and to be honest, it wasn't even LT I had in mind.
