There seems to be a miscommunication here, I have never said that people do not need a preacher to offer correction in your life, I said something different.
I said that preachers are responsible to teach the congregation and parents are responsible to teach their children.
I am myself a preacher and I preach the word of God, yet I would never dare to try to displace the role of the parents with their children. They are their children not mine.
2. The UPCI is a cult. (in light of the previously mentioned discorse, I chose the opposite, offer disagreement sans explination... I get told I am out of line)
Well I have never said the UPC is a cult, not once, what I do say and sustain is that they do have many man-made rules that are not in the Bible.
The most I would dare to call the UPC is a domineering organization, but never would I label them as a cult.
You see, I consider the UPC as saved brethren, even though some of them would not even consider me a brother.
interesting...
I have NOT suggested anyone needed to belong to a UPCI church. I have not offered criticism for anyone who has walked away from a UPCI church.

in the link you will find me recommending a church in South Forth Worth. That church is far more liberal than I am, and is an X-UPCI church. I not only recommend the church itself, but recommend the pastor as he is someone I have a great deal of respect for. He and I don’t agree on a lot of things.

If you want to keep saying "But you are wrong" and "so get a life, grow up and start reading for comprehension" you are free to do so.
After all I am kind of used to this behavior from UPC members, I am very kind and nice to the UPC folk even though most of them are usually dismissive of me and are mean to me.
