People who "left" the UPC often did so because the UPC failed to live up to its own standards. But, my own children are in that auditorium - in fact right now - and it's in my own best interest that they have the time of their lives while there.

Pelathais,
I'm not looking for a battle but don't you think that negativity has been going on just a little to long?
I realize people say things, do things, sometimes in the name of "righteousness" and can lead people astray, bring hurt, bring shame, among other things but that's life....
So many of us were raised concentrating on the "Man" we never formed a real relationship with God... sad to say being or led feel we were "forced" out or run out or dragged out or called out... Hurt happens... it is at times our test as it were from the Lord....
How we react to it, deal with it or just run from it is up to us...
You could hurt me it seems because of reasons I don't really know about I guess or start a Flame war???? not sure what that means....but the truth is it is where we are at right now that counts....
God seems to forgive us our past??? Why can't we forgive each other and walk on???
I've certainly done things I'm not proud of....or have been ashamed of....or made mistakes...but guess what??
God still is able to restore, redeem and love.....maybe we could take some lessons...
The problem is we never allow the wounds to heal because they become our security....
I hope you find your healing....
