Mother says she has the book by MB somewhere, called "Shadow of the Bramble."

I suppose I'll have to read it now. 
I know one thing--my Daddy was never real hip on the "system" either.
My Grandpa had a conflict with Bro. Branding years back. Over a pig.  It's quite a funny little story.

The problem is...standards alone don't save you. People have to be taught to fall in love with Jesus Christ. When you love somebody you do what pleases them. If we love HIM, we will do what pleases HIM.

pianoman....
You and I think alike...they could not afford to critisize.....to do so would have brought disdain...so instead they worshipped together and felt God so it was all good...
The men who planned this are very smart and very intelligent.... but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure these things out....
Spend some time in the vicinity of some and you'll learn more than you need to know...
Remember to ask the local men around them what they feel about them...
As St. Mark said...Go West...and you'll soon figure it out.....cuz' everything that glows ain't always purty......

Every successful ministry I know is appreciated more from afar than it is by those nearby.
This is virtually without exception the case.
Ho hum.

I have not read this entire thread yet, but I feel I must make a comment about this new organization (that is what it is). I think they are doomed to failure because one of the main reason for founding their organization is legislation of regulations. We cannot legislate morality, that must come from our core, based on character and our walk with God. I agree with several posters that this organization is destined to have infighting, and bickering about rules and regulations and the enforcement of said rules and regulations. If it was about revival and a move of God- that could be done within the current confines of the UPC- or as an independent. IMHO

I have a question for Steadfast and Coonskinner.
Why do you continue to support these men in this endeavor?
Why aren't you condemning them for their deceptive behavior?
I still remember (last October) when both of you claimed a new organization wasn't being formed. That you had been told it would not happen by some of the same men who are now a part of this group.
I think your integrity is in question here. Your bias is evident, and it's troubling.
You both think nothing of questioning the honesty of men who sign an affirmation statement with no intention of abiding by it.
Why then do these men get a free pass from both of you?
BTW, I think both of you are fine men, I just don't understand the blatant double standard.
Please respond sincerely, as I am tired of hearing how "great" these men are, and what a "great spirit" they all have.
I just don't buy it.

Nothing personal. I'm just waiting for an apology from both of you fine men.
