Additionally, the Men's Ministry Director for Tennessee is already making plans to gather a group to go assist in their recovery efforts an, additionally, it appears that Renda's Pastor is working in cooperation with this effort... a fact that was openly noted on another forum for some who post there, too, to see.

Offers of help have come from everywhere. Offers to let them utilize buildings have come from various directions... they chose the AG because it's practically in their backyard of their now destroyed place of worship.

Amazing how quickly it becomes an anti-UPC rant. Especially in light of the fact that help WAS offered from multiple UPC groups.

Sad.

Well Steady, Sir. good to see ya. I already apologized Brother. I do not have to plead my case. I should have checked before talking so much. But the fact I was not bashing the UPC. It is soo funny to see the company-people stand up and point claiming a UPC basher. I do not go to a UPC church, but my family does and I do not bash them. I do not agree with alot of the teachings about stuff, but not a basher. If you have read my post in the past you will clearly see that I am for personal convictions no matter how tight. I realize that everyone has their own walk and not the same walk I have. So if you were offended I am sorry brother.
