63 added.
95 dropped.

And this does not include those who leave quietly, by not paying their dues. Many men leave this way because they do not want their name published in the "No Longer Affiliated" section.

I don't like these either.
I think you can find these in any religious organization.
And if we are truthful, we can find these, sometimes, when we look in the mirror.
Truth be told, I've found these more in GIB's than in the organizations.

Well, I feel like the point he was making was that the Pharisees juxtaposed to Jesus created a contrast. The Pharisees were supposed to represent the way to God as leaders of Judaism. Jesus became the way to God.

I both know and have heard MJ preach, he is amazing and not only zealous for God but has a tremendous passion for people. I have not heard him for awhile now, but I would imagine him being the same way.

From what I see, they are loosing younger preachers like a cut jugular. The sad part is I don't believe it has to be this way.
There will always be a UPC I think. There will be enough young men and women to fuel the future. Perhaps they will stagnate in growth, perhaps its already here. I really don't know the raw numbers. A General Board member told me several years ago the preachers under the age of 30 numbered less than 600. The peak for the UPC was probably the 70s and 80s.

We do have a place to belong. It's called the church. Any of the rest is extra at best, hinderance at worst. Very sad.

He was here in the big city preaching Times of Refreshing...I called it times of depressing or oppressing...but I digress...and folks made excuses that he had a late flight yada yada yada, but there he was using all those funny little enduring phrases like "idiots who let faggots in the White House..." amen.

Hey...the youngsters love all the emotional belonging stuff, change happens when they mature and begin to realize that real life isn't a pew jumping exhausting parade... When the UPC sucks the idealism out of folks, they are more than willing to bolt.

When an organization's main purpose becomes growing the organization, it will eventually see it's end.

We need a leadership points to the Savior, not a HQ.
