It's been decided that those who choose to can adverstise their church on television. You don't have to agree with that decision, but you don't have to let it run you out of the organization either.

It is not JUST the "TV thing." As I stated elsewhere, this was just the "last straw" for me. It was a BIG issue to me BEFORE I became licensed. It remains a BIG issue. However, it is not the ONLY issue. I know that no one is forcing me out in a literal sense. As I've said before, so say I now again, this is NOT a "knee-jerk reaction." I've had an entire year to decide how I would deal with it. This is the decision I have reached, and I believe it to be best for me and the church I pastor.

Well, do what you gotta do, Brother. My gut feeling is that another organization is going to be the result of people leaving the UPC. We shall see how this all plays out.

I'm not interested in another organization. In fact, I have no plans to EVER join one. I will remain independent. I truly believe that is what God wants for me.

Independent Apostolic Pentecostal is the largest.

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

KP I've read most of this thread. I know that you have prayerfully sought the face of God and recieved council from elders in your life. I have also seen you go through firey trials in years gone by and seen the Hand of God on your life. I have prayed for you many times over the years and will continue to do so. Whatever your decision God is with you. Being affiliated with the UPC for 22 years I do have an understanding of your feelings. I pray God will direct your steps for you, your family and your church and that an unprecedented revial will explode in your church and city.
Godspeed my dear friend.
