I thought it was interesting... not exactly worthy of judgement though.
On second thought - let's burn it.

Leave with your dignity---just leave and do what you feel you've got to do. He will have to live with these words for the rest of his life. I doubt that he will convince people either way. He will offend those he wants to part ways with and he will feed the bitterness that some ex-UPCers can't seem to let go of.
Just go and do what you gotta do!

If I am not mistaken I don't think L.H. Hardwick actually left the UPC until around 1986. I know I was very surprised to find that out. I had assumed he had left around the time of KP and MH although he is not a TV preacher.
In a recent church meeting Pastor Hardwick recounted Buck Rambo telling him he wanted to take him to a meeting in New Orleans at Pastor Charles Green's church. Pastor Hardwick went and someone there prophesysed over him that he would be a bridge for people from his religious background. He did not give a timeframe for this meeting but I would assume it would be not long before he left the UPC.

I have read the first part of Langston's article and am enjoying it. However he has the same problem I do! He uses way too many exclamation points!
I read an early Jim Yohe book and he did the same thing! Every sentance had one at the end instead of a period!

DB,
If everyone left there would be no one left to fight. The ways things are going the upci may not even be a major player of the apostolic mesage in the United States in ten years. Legalists aren't the only ones with a stake in the success of the organization. Somebody has to fight fire with firel.
It's hard to have the joy of the Lord when you so-called brothers are destroying souls twice as fast as they are coming in. It seems unfair those guys with blood on their hands will make it to heaven while countless #'s of people will be lost because of undue pressure. Even the apostoles didn't have the guts to do that to their saints. Somebody has to fight for the lost.

Could ministers be blacklisted as "under question" post dropping or being stripped from their license?

What would have happened to the NT church if Paul decided to move on and not confront they hyporcisy of Peter?

Seems there are many who don't like the either/or choices.
Either we are legalists or we have a hands off approach on Christian apparel and adornment? I think not.
It is nice that the Holy Spirt leads and guides, but that does not tie the hands of church leadership when addressing the string bikini wear'in chior member.

Possibly. Or they may also be exonerated post exodus.
