This suggests you think that JK will still preach and uphold the clothesline standards of the UPC and that over time these new saints will "line up"with the women giving up wearing makeup, cutting their hair, jewelry, pants, etc. Can you confirm this is what you were inferring? If so I think you are very, very wrong in that regard. Those "standards" are not biblical and cannot be justified and I don't think JK will do so.

JK teaches biblical principles like modesty but not man-made UPCI-specific standards such as only skirts, uncut hair, no makeup, etc.
I shudder just typing those words. Those issues just seem so petty and pale in comparison when you consider the sheer number of lost souls out there just waiting to hear that there's a God that loves them and that they can have abundant life through Jesus Christ!
