Seriously, you may as well cal this board the "Apostolic liberals only friends forum"!

You guys need to take a look at yourselves and see how you talk about the UPCI and ask yourselves if you would like your organization (or church if it is independant) put down like you people seem to do with the UPCI?

I will not say the UPCI is perfect in any way, shape or form, but good grief.... Get off the HATE! Which is basically what it is, weather or not you want to call it that.

Yes there are people in the UPCI that are very dogmatic about standards and dress...but not all are! Most are moderate from what I have seen. But let me also say that there are baptists, prodestants, methodists that feel exactly the same way about the standards they teach. The UPCI is not the only organization in the WORLD that has dogmatic people. Look at some of the organizations that do not even believe in electricity and live like it is the 1800's all over again. Just a horse and buggy! And if you ride in a car it is a SIN! Makes the UPCI look like a tame puppy compared to them! And dresses for women and no cut hair for women? You had better follow their code if you are in an organization like that!

And just so you know, I have been a baptist, methodist, then got into a UPC church 30 years ago and was UPC. Then was ALJC for a short while with a church I attended. Now the church I go to is going from independant to UPC. So I am not a newbie in this by any stretch of the imagination and am NOT a "defender" of the UPCI. It has it's problems like all organizations do, but I do not see people on this board going out of their way to degrade them! It gets old after a while folks! It is like saying you got robbed by a black man so therefore all balck people must be bad! That is not only a stupid way of thinking, it is very demeaning and insulting to people who are black! (They showed a picture earlier of Archie Bunker, some on here are like him, but against the UPCI in that way) They lump them in all together without giving one thought to saying how many churches are different.

Frankly I do not think the OP needs to explain himself to a bunch of people he has never met, how he has decided to go over to what is apparently to some on this board...the "enemy's camp"!

If he is going to go, I agree he needs to just go! Forget what other people say or think and let the Holy Ghost guide him.

I know there are other organizations like the ALJC that believe in Jesus name baptisim, but the only organization that is trashed constantly on this forum is the UPCI....care to explain why?

Why are you so angry?
