I see where they are giving up some values and trues.

If the UPCI would truly serve it's PURPOSE it would remain strong and cohesive in my humble opinion.

I seem to remember a prophecy stating that the UPCI had seen its better days.

I heard that too. That the best days were behind.

In all honestly, though I hate to see it, I tend to agree with it.

I hate to say it, but it is probably true that the best days are behind.

The best days are behind but that doesn't mean that it can't retain the strength and effectiveness and cohesiveness (whatever is left) that it has now.

It hasn't been the same for a number of years already now. Even those within and those who still love the organization recognize this and the problems that exist. They know better than I.

Every single organization, movement, dispensation, government, group, etc. is subject to entropy.

If you take a look at the UPC from a structural perspective, it has been the same for its entire lifespan.

Just because a cornerstone was put into place in the 1940's doesn't mean you need to do everything like you did then so that the foundation will remain as strong.

If the ministers in the UPCI would put away their "swords" and pick up their "towels" the org might once again see glorious days.

As long as they continue in their ministerial "assasinations" they haven't a "snowball's" chance. Case in point: The Western District.

Some would rather die fighting for truth than give in to the world.
