Well, I know that everyone who leaves UPC does not leave doctrine OR standards--that's simply not the case. Many, perhaps most, are not leaving because the UPC is too conservative for them. Great numbers of preachers turn in their fellowship cards for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with doctrine or a desire to abandon standards.
But it IS true that nearly everyone who lays aside standards does lay aside doctrine, also. If you think about it, that makes sense, because the standards of holiness ARE fundamental doctrine. Once you start to say it doesn't matter anymore, where do you stop?
