Then there is the anti-UPC crowd who entertain themselves with every little piece of dirt they can dredge up in order to shine their negative light on the org. These types really could care less about the UPC nor the people in it, they just simply get their kicks by belittling them because they have some self invented dellusion that we see ourselves as holier than they. Many claim there is a noble purpose founded in love for the people in the org and a desire to see them "free" yet their post and broad brush comments are transparent. One need not read between the lines to get the jest of the true spirit behind the words.

Scotty, you are absolutely correct, and thank you for making the distinction.
I am in the former group. I love the UPC, it's my heritage, but I needed to move on.
However, you never disrespect your mother, no matter how much you disagree with her rules. You abide by those rules while you're in the house, and when you move out, you make the necessary changes, but you still respect your mother.
It does bother some of us when we are thrown into the same group as "anyone who has left the UPC is bitter" because that's just not the truth with many of us.
