So what are implications of your choice to turn off the lights? It's an action isn't it...but it has no moral significance... likewise, my choice to put on shorts has no moral significance nor does it demonstrate any desire I have...some things are mechanical in nature.

We are to judge by their fruit, which is their WORKS. BTW there are many sinners that dress more modest than that low cut dress she wore too, what does that prove? As I said before, she could wear pants and be more modest. I'm not pushing for a UPC standard, so your strawman fallacy is useless.

BTW CEOs rarely dress in suits and ties or whatever "UPC" stereotype you are thinking of 24/7.

It means I wanted the lights off. What are the implications that a young woman wanted to show off her cleavage? Well you have your opinion and I have mine and either way, anyone saying that such a decision does NOT come from within a person just does not know what they are talking about.

My point exactly....we judge on an individual's attitude and behavior....if she were doing something sexually suggestive that's one thing, but that is not the case here...anyway, back to question at hand...

What I want to know is, was this done because the UPC is preparing for the GC vote? Is the Youth of the UPCI getting ready to turn things around in the org and become more mainstream?

Is "Dora" in her early twenties, and single?

Anyway, politics... it was a political move.

Does the Youth want to become more socially relevant?


“With many parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand” (Mark 4:33)

Is the Youth of the UPCI committing themselves to changing methods and illustrations to portray the gospel with effectiveness and simplicity?
