They discovered they did not have the number of votes to gain power to stop all the things that bother them like the use of video, lighting, smoke, music that is not Southern Gospel, etc.
Their only alternative was to do their own thing and that they have done. I am sure many from pure motives and some from deep seated resentment over having come close but never having attained position and power in the UPC.

There are deep differences that exist in some of the above mentioned areas. These are some potential future battlegrounds for the newly formed WPF. You might be suprised by how "liberal" some are in these areas. They might make some "liberals" in other areas scream "comprimise"!
