More so than here have we been VERY open in asking MANY questions. We find the UPC Apo Church (and those that belong to UPC elsewhere) to be more motivated in helping us seek answers than ANYWHERE we've ever known!
We are honestly scared, not only in our now-apparent lack of salvation, but in the culture shock as well. However the one thing that we feel completely open & welcome in doing is asking questions.
I'm not saying anything to discredit you, as we are misfits-what do we honestly know being new to UPC, but simply saying this is not always the case.

Congrats! I have a ton of friends in the UPC. Sure, there are some power-hungry people, but the overwhelming majority are great, sincere and loving people.

The comparison of the WBC to the UPC is absurd, IMO.

How many UPC churches did you attend in those 19 years?
