Re: Tulsa Report Day 2

I just don't understand why something that Steadfast stated from his personal experience is being so heavily challenged.

I think Tampa was just indicative of a general mindset already present in the UPC and that has been present for a while now. Keeping in mind of course that the vote was a very close one and thousands weren't there to represent their feelings with a yes or no vote.

Television in the UPC is a fact and has been for some time now. Most church members have tv and many pastors do too. I just can't see what the big issue is. I can't see how this is going to take the UPC down a slippery slope. There are other things that I think are more troublesome than the passing of Res. 4.

I'm not terribly worried, personally. I think it would be great for the UPCI to get back closer to what they were at the beginning.

Watch that last line boys! It's got wires hanging from it!

If he says it happened, take it to the bank.
But he has been mistaken before. He said that there would be no organization formed from the defectors - and here we are.


That's a lot of trust in hearsay.

(nothing against Steadfast)

No actually I will correct this statement.. he did not say there would not... he said their original intentions were not to ... but then he also came back later and said that now it did seem that they were intending to... (I know this because he corrected me on the matter also and showed me the posts... which I will not search out right now) but he did correct that statement when he saw that the info he was given was not up to par.

Yes, but he defends those men and says that their intent must have "changed" over the past three months.

LOL...... I understand what you are saying there PP...........but in all honesty, Steddy was only reporting what was told to him.....a man cannot be responsible for another man telling him one thing and then doing something else.........reminds me of people who have told me that something was over and dead .......then I find out that they have been talking it all over the place.......man you just never know what somebody is gonna do.........Guess that is what I get for trusting their hearsay........
