I want to know whats the shocking part? That they love sex and drugs? That shouldnt shock anyone. I know dozens of ex UPC youth that love sex and drugs. These kids are just talented enough to become popular and sing about it. If I had that talent I would probably be a country singer singing about my divorce and lost doublewide.
I don't see how anyone can even remotely see these sorts of things as a "UPC problem". Can anyone name any organization or church that does not have young people (and adults) who get involved in things they shouldn't? If it could happen to the New Testament church just years after Jesus walked the earth, it can certainly happen now....and I don't see the connection with the UPC or it as an indication that it is near impossible to have an encounter with God in the UPC.
