We are honestly scared, not only in our now-apparent lack of salvation, but in the culture shock as well. However the one thing that we feel completely open & welcome in doing is asking questions.

I'm not saying anything to discredit you, as we are misfits-what do we honestly know being new to UPC, but simply saying this is not always the case.
I was in the UPC for 19 years. When you are first getting in, they are happy to answer all your questions but if you disagree with their answers, you are going to hell. If you question them later, you are going to go to hell. That's a little blunt, but it's true about certain questions, definitely.

Also, Hoove, you came from a culture where questions were probably even less tolerated than in the UPC. The UPC was probably a breath of fresh air to you.
