What is a UC in your opinion?
 

What exactly is your definition of a "UC" here on AFF?

What would you say puts one in that category?

A UC is

1. no tv
2. no tolerance for someone with tv
3. those who judge people who aren't like them
4. no short sleeves
5. no colored shirts
6. no bright ties
7. only dark ties
8. no ball games
9. no wedding rings
10. no cuff links

that is just a few things.

UC's don't post on AFF.

This is the Debil's Playground- That EVIL Internet!

:aaa

Joseph Miller, you described some moderates too.

:preach

If ALL 10 apply they are not a moderate. Some of the 10 apply but not all.

I have stated this before.

No Liberal will say "I am a liberal."
Everyone is "quite conservative"

No moderate will have issues with either liberals or conservatives.

Conservatives consider Liberals so lost they cannot tolerate them, and do not allow any variance in black and white rules.

Generally we do have a good mix on the board, and some of the moderates and liberals actually bring the better discussion here, for they are interested in dialogue not discipling or disciplining the lost.

UCs are not uniquely no TV...a mod or con can be that...even a lib. A UC though will want to make everyone else No TV...it's not just their choice. They want everyone else to have to obey it too

As a UC (to the Conservative I am a liberal and to the liberal I am a Conservative) I feel you have painted with a very broad brush. I Fellowship and preach for some of the most UC brethren in Pentecost IMO and while some may observe/fit all of these, there is a wide diversity among most UC's out there.

#3 is really offensive to me! The sad reality is that this spirit and attitude is shared on every side of the spectrum. Just look at some of the "lib" posts here on AFF and you will see some pretty judgmental attitudes, just as wrong as those coming from Cons/UCs

Isn't the only decoration among the Ultra cons that is acceptable the toupe? Or am I thinking the TBN crowd again....
LOL!

I've always felt that the labeling that is applied among OPs' is either misleading or meaningless.

It's like Sherri said recently. To some here on AFF she's quite "liberal," but to society in general, she's a raving ultraconservative religious nut (or words to that effect).

Really, our most "liberal" OPs' are very conservative. If our "libs" today could move back through time would appear very conservative in even a 1950's America.

Well almost right. I did meet a few OP recently who favor same sex marriage.

I would add, or even substitute any two of the above for:

11) The pastor is the unquestionable authority

and

12) Always on the verge of "stumbling" because of OTHERS 'liberties'

12.5)If your a UC pastor, then your constantly in fear of your "sheep" stumbling because of the liberties that saints in other churches may have.

What is a UC? UC is just another meaningless, unspiritual label that only adds to the division among God's people. That is what a UC is. And so is con, mod, libe and every other label.

Thinking of the cliff analogy:

UC: Builds a concrete guard rail twenty feet away. Wonders if it should be thirty.

Con: Builds a steel guard rail ten feet away.

Mod: A sturdy wooden fence will do.

Lib: A few warning signs, here and there.

UL: Just be careful around the cliff, OK?

Timmy: What cliff???

:toofunny

Exactly. What Cliff? What have I to fear? what have I to dread? Leaning on the Everlasting Arms...
