A UCs take on other UPCs

[OP_Carl]

Giving the man the benefit of the doubt, I would figure that the UC pastor has estimated that the other pastor's shepherding practices are not sufficient to keep the flock together in the long run.

Or I could jump in the air in anticipation of the bandwagon that's sure to come rolling here along any minute now, and say that his words are motivated by fear, jealosy, greed, a desire to control the lives of the "little people," and a lack of confidence in his own message . . . did I cover everything, guys?

I couldn't have said it any better OP Carl.

I was under such a pastor for many years. I'm sure you don't realize that any pastors like that exsist.

Goody for you.

Some pastors (and people) used the all or nothing approach! I know a pastor who told his own daughter that he would just as soon her be a drug addict than to wear her dress a few inches above her knee, because either way she was going to hell!

This girl today is not in church! It's really sad!
