You say you’ve been hurt by your pastor, and pulled out of the UPC, or all church attendance anywhere. You hate all pastors everywhere because they are all liars you say. And now you can’t trust anyone else to pastor you, so find a church that teaches truth. All Pastors are not cut from the same mold. You need a church and you need a pastor. So stop being so childish and grow up. We can’t hold grudges folks. It’s time to get over whatever the problem is. After all, aren’t you people adults? You sound so childish by starting all these silly threads demeaning the UPC and all Pastors too. It’s time to get over it and Get In A Church Somewhere.

It’s OK with most people if your boss dictates what we should wear. I know plenty who dress in uniform in order to hold a job, but He’s paying us to do this. That makes all the difference. It’s ok if our Boss expects us to report to work on time, and follow some form of standard. And we tolerate it if he gets on our case occasionally, after all he pays our salary, and that makes all difference in the world. We are willing to do lots of things we may not like in order to hold a job, but you will not allow our Pastor to lead you to Jesus.
My first thoughts were , "this all sounds SO CHILDISH"

Secondly, if I ever had a boss who treated me as two psstors I've had, I'd quit ttomorrow and go get a different job.

Thirdly, your comparrison with church to a job holds no water. Whatever my boss tells me has no eternal worth concerning my souls destination.

Herein lies the problem ... folks are viewing church like an earthly job .... it's not wonder some are dead in their religion.

Don't you know it's only ok to look to the world for an example when it's convenient to them?

What if there are no other churches around you? I know of an area of the country (which shall remain nameless) that the UPCI churches are at least 1 1/2 hours away from each other. Not so easy to just go to another one. Then the pastor of the other one wants a letter from your old pastor. (What do you think that letter will say? Anything good probably not). There are no other Oneness churches around in this particular area that I am aware of, so what do those people do?
The closes UPC church to me is 95 miles away, one way. The letter thing is more like a report card, as for what people do with no church around they home church, invite other to join you, who in the same boat ~
