The absolute minimum, of what they refer to as the disbursement quota, is 85%. That is the amount of money that actually goes to the program that money is being raised for that is not admin. 15 percent is the absolute maximum admin cost allowed without government intervention.

You don't have a clue about disbursement quotas and what they can include.
For instance any church with a secretary includes it under program costs.
But, carry on, who cares about the facts.

I think your statement is blatant overkill and, personally, I find it offensive. My loyalty is to God alone and not the 'machine', the organization or the officials leading it. My allegiance belongs to the One who shed blood for me.

My perception is simple: I don't intend to throw out the engine if there are only a few bad spark plugs!

If some of those screaming had Churches that tongue lashed them and every move they made with the same frequency they, themselves, fire at the UPC there wouldn't be a Church among them worth having!

Some stories can never be fully told until it's told by TIME. That doesn't mean that we don't care about people. It means that we don't want to judge a matter before it's time.

(That's bible, by the way.)

Bravo Steadfast!!!

the ragtag radical fringe that is not even UPC.
You guys kill me. You putt along in a Yugo and throw stones at the guys who have worked hard to drive a Buick. You remind me of the welfare kid who was complaining about the hardworking families who had more than he did and thought it was okay to steal from them to get what he wanted.

Any truth to it?

And what about Josh's comment that misionaries who receive "taxed PIM's" and who give some of that money to another missionary see it "taxed" again?

Any truth to that?

Huhhhhhhhhh?

Throwing stones is counter-productive to building God's kingdom!
