Is it ODD or is it just me?
 
If no one is really leaving the UPC and the number leaving is so small why all these letters and e-mails from both past and present officials???? Me thinks they protest toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. What do you think?

I think it's just you... :sorry

















...just kidding...

I think it's more to it all than both sides want to really confess to.

I do NOT believe the officials ever thought the fall out would be this big and dramatic?

I talked to an Southern preacher today who told me Elder Craft is actively calling preachers who are out from under his ministry requesting them to leave. Two preachers out from under him told this friend of mine personally this week.

That's sad and what was presented here originally as not happening. I think we all saw the handwriting on the wall.

Some did. And some that fought the resolution for that reason got mud on their faces for it.

Are you saying you're odd?

But seriously... Since one official mentions just 13 drops it seems that they are probably working from a position somewhere in the dark. I think the fact is, nobody really knows yet for certain how things will shake out. That makes some people nervous.

Also, it could be that somebody in a meeting somewhere said something about "communication" and the result is that everyone in the meeting went out and "communicated."

I really don't think most of the letter writers know even as much as the average AFF reader; which, granted, ain't much.

Like Renda said, that's exactly the kind of thing that the Tulsa proponents said would NOT happen- the proselytizing.

I don't get "Elder Craft." I only met him once and never really knew him. Is he trying to "prove" something after leaving MS? That's just the impression that I've been getting from him over the last few years. I hope I'm wrong. He always seemed like a stand up guy.

I am sorry, but I believe they are using TLC to the hilt... They have promised him the moon if he will go with them... Of this I know!!
