Again for Coonskinner and Steadfast: Can you honestly say that the charges of "shacking up without even backsliding" and the "social drinking" characterize the United Pentecostal Church? I'm no apologist for the UPC, but I do have brothers that I care for very much in the org. I won't sit by while their integrity is tarred.
Help me out here, Coon. Have I missed something about this fellowship? Has the Texas District sunk so low that women are openly allowed to minister on the platform of UPC churches with the pastor's full knowledge that she is "shacking up with young men?"
Brother Coonskinner, why do you let such accusations go unchallenged? I implore you to "take your integrity seriously," as you yourself have said. Look at the accusations Steadfast has made. A couple of people questioned him gently before I even spoke up. Since then even his friends have challenged him to rethink his accusation and tone. My own PM inbox has overflowed with support - even from people with whom I have had disagreements with before.
Steadfast simply went too far in trying to express support for the Tulsa men. Plain and simple. And now he appears to be mulling over his next response. Help him out and be his friend, Coonskinner. It's not a big deal to say, "I went too far in slamming the UPC."

Steadfast was not broad brushing the entire UPC; he spoke of some individual situations he knew of.
Please point out where the UPC was slandered.
Are you
still questioning the accuracy of his report?
And I don't hate anybody. Nice try there, but no soap.
