But the UPC isn't a monolith. It's a complex interaction of many different parts. What was it that made you feel you could not fellowship with the UPC in your area after that youth meeting you mentioned earlier?

i have no anger toward the upc.in fact that has been all that i have known all my life.its sad but i feel the upc is opening up a door that they will never be able to shut. and also it was not that one thing that made me not want to attend their meetings its eveything they have been allowing in almost all the meetings in our section.

Please forgive me, but I live in an isolated area and I don't get out much. But what do you mean by "unmodest"? Was is it a "shirtsleeve" issue or were people displaying unmentionables?
