My real concern is this: There is an important discussion that we need to have about issues. We need that discussion to be open and free. We need these pastors to actually speak up publically with their concerns. They need to state their opinions and sign their names to those opinions. Then let the debate go on.
Instead the "conservative" branch of the UPC often refuses to come out in the open. They refuse to participate in the Oneness Symposiums, they refuse to share in an open discussion. When they have a resolution to present- they LIE - ban me if you will, but they LIED - and refuse to allow a full discussion of the issues.
What are the "conservatives" trying to hide here?
And I use the word "conservative" in quotes because this party is not really "conservative." They are as radical as Leninists.

you know...
it sickens me more than the possibility of a split that "parties" exist...
how disgusting that we can't even get to 100 years old without proving that we are just like everyone else???
