So which type do you think left? And can a few hundred effect such a large org. as the UPCI?

Cash offering or promises??? Because I know how those "promise" offerings turn out. Sad, but true.

I am really confused! Are the WPFers leaving the UPC, or are they going to be both WPF and UPC? How can you tell how many have left the UPC when most of the general council members and two of the executive council members are still with the UPC (Nat Wilson and Crawford Coon). Only 9 out of the 50 some general council members have actually dropped out of the UPC. Haven't they had ample time to leave? What are they waiting for? Or are they staying? Just curious!

I doubt anyone will remain in both - that would be too expensive.

how do they turn out?

I thought that they would part with the UPC before they started recruiting members for WPF. I can't believe that two of their executive members and most of their general council have not dropped out of the UPC.

I believe that the month of January serves as a grace period for those who didn't pay their dues.

This month will tell the real story.

Some guys make big promises in public, but are not quite so generous when the time comes to pay. If they pay.
