So will the passing of Resolution 4 cause "a giant sucking sound" as ministers that feel betrayed by the org. leave the UPC for other orgs. or the vast world of Good Independent Brethren. (GIBs).

"Vast world"?

Yes, VAST.

I would dare say that in some places for every org church there are just as many and MAYBE even more independent churches.

That is true in many places independents that run from ultra con to ultra lib.

This is how you explain the use of it and not viewing it.

I just occurred to me: an unscrupulous TV station could sell ad time to the UPCI, collect the money but not actually air the ads, and the UPCI will never know!

hopefully the ad execs don't realize this and try it...

although it would be a good way to fish out who has a tv among the members of a church

preacher: EVERYONE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU SAW OUR AD ON THE TV THIS WEEK!!

:hands go up:

preacher: YOU ARE ALL SINNERS!! YOU SHOULD NOT BE WATCHING TV!! HELL!! ALL OF YOU!! HELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Dude, that was funny!

A freind called this afternoon to tell me that our mutual friend that pastors in Metro Atlanta, GA. removed himself from the UPC today.

The Great Sucking Sound is being heard all across the Fruited Plains.

I read alot of forums and have a good sense of humor, but rarely do I, while reading forums actually bust out laughing out loud.
Well, Your post is the exception. I enjoyed your perspective. LOL
