Interesting question Scotty.

I am 40--would be 4th generation UPC if I went to one. In all honesty the church I was raised in has "softened" on a lot of things. Growing up everything was a sin. Now: they go to the movies, bowling, the men wear beards--even on the platform. No more sleeves to the elbow and nobody goes around looking for splits in girls skirts--nobody cares. Girls can have there nails done (in clear polish) and it's ok to wear foundation. I really respect my former pastor for saying "Hey, there is no Scripture for all this--it's based on principle" But for all that I still could not attend--1) it's 12 hrs away 2) I wear pants & cut my hair and wear a little makeup--I don't pierce my body thought anyway, that's what would have to change for me to go to a UPC--even after all the changes I have seen I just don't see that happening--I do love all the people I know that are in and respect there convictions. One of the churches up in Nashville is not real strict, if I lived near to it maybe I would attend. Don't know.

Thanks for asking!!

One of the churches up in Nashville is not real strict either, if I lived near to it would probably attend.

And thank you for your sincere heart felt answer. And you never know, as long as your pants are twice the size needed to fit so your outline is not obvious.......

Lord, no more of that!!! I used to wake up wrapped in the bathroom carpet! When I couldn't remember how I got home, I knew I was in trouble - then God stepped in!


You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

I woke up laying on top of the A/C unit behind a honky tonk. about 11am the next morning.

I thought , ya know, maybe this ain't the smartest lifestyle to be leading..
