You know, I use to bash the UPC hard. This is what I have found out...

The UPCI did not self-destruct just because I was brash.
I was not invited to the GC to speak on how she is going to Hell.
I lost some really good fellowship.
I demeaned an Apostolic organization that was reaching the lost.
I became a nut job.

If the UPCI goes on TV, so what? Will this mean she will quit preaching Acts 2:38? No. We really need to quit fooling ourselves. Monitors are TVs and many saints have at least one in their home, and this includes the computer monitor that we read messages on.

How about this instead? How about we get real, and admit that the UPCI, ALJC, PAW, and these orgs are doing a good work. Just my thoughts.

I like you. Balanced, sincere, self-deprecating. Highly unusual on Apostolic forums.

Maybe this will get you reinstated in the lost fellowship, but I doubt they will call you to speak at GC.

Bet they won't invite him to join their Preacher's Only forum either.

Interesting thread to resurrect.

Personally I believe the UPC's best days are ahead of it.

If TV is the only thing that will cause SHE to quit preaching, the good old boys would have voted it in decades ago!
