And I can say, without the need to worry about my appearance and all the unnecessary dos and dont's, the blessings have been plenty away from the UPC mold, much like they were when I was still part of it. Believe me, there will be more who will say them leaving the UPC was the best thing that ever happened to them, aside from their salvation/receiving the holy ghost. Time is too short and God is too good to get caught up in a web of tradition and confusion as many have done...
Bottom line is that our faith should never be displayed in a selfish, it's-all-about-me manner. May as well be singing it's my party and I'll cry/shout/dance if I want to. Who's party is it when we're talking spiritual matters?

DW - I still have to ask you this.
Did you intend this thread to be a slam to the org?
I would hope you would also listen to several on this thread who are not in the org, who also saw no problem with the song.
My experience in the UPC has not been the same as yours, obviously.
And I ask you who is showing self-righteousness here, you or me.
You continue to cite your liberty, freedom, and new-found spiritualness.
Any newbie who comes on here and says that any woman who wears pants or makeup is bound for hell will surely draw the ire of several posters.
You are displaying the same attitude by bragging about your liberty and freedom thereby implying that anyone else is in bondage and is also bound for hell.
