Sheeeesh....if it wasnt for the UPC half the threads on this forum would have nothing to gripe about...
I'm guessing you are UPC

He sounds to me like hes living his life as he pleases. He can't help it that he wants to speak out about the wrongs he believes the UPC has done. And why shouldn't he? The UPC sure has no problem speaking out about the things it believes are wrong.

If what he is saying is truth then is it wrong for him to be shouting it from the rooftops? The bottom line is: there are people in the UPC who are ready to leave but just can't quite make that final step. Those people might need to hear what mizpeh is saying before they can take the final step out of the misreable position they are in.

It's really not about downing the UPC. It's knowing where we came from and how hard for ourselves it was to leave even when it was time and trying to help others who are in similar predicaments.

For us and others, the real impact of claiming that the UPC went away from it's original agreement is in showing that the old paths weren't always the old paths. It's in showing that tolerance once existed in the organization. It's in giving hope that maybe even the UPC can turn from the conservative opinion that currently is in control.
