I know and understand that there is major abuse in some situations, but there is major abuse in any organization or denomination. People are people, some good and some bad. If you choose to leave a group (like we did), I think you should just leave and not rehash all the things you think are evil about it. What is the point of "exposing" things ten years down the road? Sorry, but I just think this is wrong.
Like I've said many times, the UPC brought me to Jesus. If it were not for my heritage, I might not have the privilege of knowing Him. Were there things that were wrong? Sure! Do we do everything correctly now? NOOOOOOOOO! We are all still learning.
Just my thoughts for the day!

Sis. C...God bless your heart!! This is
one of the many things that endears you so to those still onboard the Mothership...you respect where you came from.
As for Lois...I knew her through the old FCF (she was Sarge on the old board, and is signed up here I think).
Anyway, she read some of my posts and thinking I was a nice enough sort, she asked me to write an article for her site. My piece could be about anything I chose to write about and she would not edit.
She remained true to her word, and even wrote a nice note at the end of the article.
That being said, Lois has some issues with the org...some I know about and some I don't. But I think she opened the site and her forum for people to express their hurts...you could be right, but if there was or is an agenda, I am not aware of it.
I am not trying to speak for her or defend her, just to give you info that I know.
I haven't been there in ages and don't know what all is there now...
