I agree with the fundamental doctrine of the UPCI, always have, always will.
But my attempts to be a part of the organization in which I was raised and have tremendous appreciation and respect for, have up to this point in my life been unfruitful.
However I have been asked by a larger non-UPC group (many, if not all the ministers are ex-upc) to fellowship and eventually join their group.
Should I do this?
Or remain independent, hoping for a better day in the Western District?
What say ye?

If your views can co-exist with that of the other group, join them, other wise stay independent.
