It's far far too much like the world to play the victim card. And to be sure the UPC like other church orgs have been reflecting the world. It's not about TV. It's not about dress. The world is the attitude.
We built our own "family" traditions, demanded everyone else follow them, then feel insulted when someone rejects them.
I've seen it happen on a local level when someone leaves our church because of standards.The church members feel insulted. It's the same feeling that causes Muslims to hack a family member to pieces for rejecting Islam for another religion. The tradition and the religion itself became more important than they should be. They became paradigms and eventually became "law"...

That's some good points, there Prax.
