How far does the upci org have to go before it is shocking enough?
Isnt' youth congress a good enough example? How about the CO convention isn't is a good enough example?
At least Phillips disagreed and left, Hutchins disagreed and left, Suber disagreed and left.
So the resolution passes albeit marginally, so men who had a different view left, but they also left letting ministers who also disagree that they would be open to fellowship, I do believe all the name calling has been one sided, from the UPCI org, any letters from any of the other men? Didn't think so.
Amazing how all those letters haven't been termed as unethical.
As for the mailing list information headquarters can be contacted at 314-837-7300. You can even email them go to upci.org.

It appears you are attemting to justify unethical behaviour (prosthelizing by the WPF) by detailing why an individual(s) may want to leave.
The topic is Prosthelizing or the ethics of it.
The men you mentioned as having left the UPCI did things very differently than the WPF. They did not actively send unsolicted literature to the memembers of the organization they had just left.
The reasons are way obvious.
If an individual wants to leave, they may, That is not unethical. If however,
they try to take members with them, that is.
I have left a church because of majors differences with the pastor and the direction he was taking the church. I did not in any way try to sway other members in that church to leave with me. I could have swayed some to see it my way had I been laying the foundation (subversive) in the years prior to me leaving. I had already conferred with the pastor long before I left, and when the time came for me to leave, I left. I did not cause a ruckus and confuse other members, I left. I could have callled the members staying informing them of what I was doing and how the Lord really was continuing to blessed me after I left. I did not. Ethics!
Either it is or it isn't.
