I'm not stupid. I know the UPC isn't perfect. And I'm definitely not a "stick your head in the sand" type of person.
But there is a huge difference between constructive criticism and/or seeking honest answers and just wanting some hot topic to gossip about and/or seeking to feed ones own personal grudge.

LadyRev, if you experienced something that personally hurt you wouldn't you want to help others get away from the same thing. Yes, I learned a lot in the UPC and was there for 27 years but I wouldn't want to go back however leaving was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I know there are others who are trying to find answers too and if this forum can support them out of their situation then that is a good thing. Many won't have to leave their church or the organization but they can at least learn enough to help them have a healthy relationship with Christ.
