So what's YOUR deal? Are you some kind of stalker of those who question the status quo you idolize so much?

My O My Must have struck a little sensitive nerve. Naw, I'm no stalker, don't have the time or energy. But, if you were part of the UPC, saw problems in the UPC and didn't stay and fix the problems,, but left then WHY stand on the outside and point out the perceived failures.

Yes you struck the nerve I have against people who have no clue. I have not "left the UPC" per se. Still have my license. I have not changed my doctrine. Furthermore, I can't "fix something" a pastor does not want fixed. The principle of deferring to his leadership comes into play, and should.

But I have reached the place where I realize that Jesus will hold me personally accountable on my part in fulfilling his commission. If that means I must step out of anything that might hinder that, then I will.

FWIW I have "a clue" as a matter of fact I have seen the evidence.
