It's hard to have the joy of the Lord when you so-called brothers are destroying souls twice as fast as they are coming in. It seems unfair those guys with blood on their hands will make it to heaven while countless #'s of people will be lost because of undue pressure. Even the apostoles didn't have the guts to do that to their saints. Somebody has to fight for the lost.

Well fight for the lost then and don't get lost fighting a cause that isn't worth fighting. You become the very thing that you detest. I've seen it happen all too many times. People leave the organization because of all the hypocrisy and the holier than thous and the spiritual superiority and judgmentalism. Then they proceed to be hypocritical and look down own UPCers and become smug that they are spiritually superior and they pre-judge those that don't look like them.
Go fight for the lost and leave the church people alone!
