Re: For those that left the UPC...
Mirth, you are not a hypocrite for respecting your husband or friends' feelings or your husband's wishes.
The real hypocrites are those that say they are holy but think nothing of hurting others. Jesus didn't call the woman at the well or the adulteress a hypocrite. He never called Peter or even Judas a hypocrite. He called the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites... they were whited sepulchres--looked good on the outside, but get too close and wow, they stink!
