I think this goes right back to the TV vote, which so far has appeared to be more of a symbolic vote.
This led to the loss of some far right churches, which then resulted in the entire org moving further to the right. Now you have the reaction from the more left-leaning churches who are not happy.
Sort of an interesting study in group org politics and I would like for someone to complete an in-depth look at it, with some facts and figures.

Yes, while I agree (I think we agree) and I don't think the events under discussion are directly related at all to the 1992 resolution brouhaha; the spirits and the attitudes do resemble one another, IMHO anyway.

It was said in the context of of ... and you other guys that are lurking, maybe you can help me out ... but the context was, "Every movement needs to have a bowel movement
every now and then..."
This attitude just strikes me as being emblematic of the whole mentality behind the radicals in the UPC/Apostolic movement. CW's open letter condemning his "neighbor" MJ can be seen in the same light.
