Some people stay in that place and become bitter without confessing their bitterness. They know what will be said about them.
Other's leave while confessing their bitterness and endure the things said about them. These people are considered backslid no matter what kind of prayers to God are in their life at home.

No...I never noticed that.
For every "I left the UPC because"...there are a dozen more "I stayed in the UPC because" or "I joined the UPC because"...
I have found there are many UPCs, apparently, where this stuff happens. I found there are many other UPCs, apparently, where this stuff does not happen.
For me, it's not a UPC issues, unless you left over organizational politics on a national level or you just disagree with UPC doctrines. For me it's a church to church/Pastor to pastor issue
