2. When some other UPC pastor "goes charismatic' some preacher probably says in a joking or ominous way "he probably cut his wifes hair on the platform"
3. Someone who heard the preacher say that this particular preacher PROBABLY cut his wifes hair on the platform they repeat it but leave out the PROBABLY.
4. Since all of the preachers passing on this story that gets embellished a little each telling are all reputable men before you know it this has become a FACT even though it never happened.
Can I tell you the number of time in the 1980's when I was a member of Kenneth Phillips World Of Pentecost church in Austin that I heard from UPC folks when visiting out of state how sorry they were to hear that my church had split and "gone down to nothing"? When in fact the church was growing and bigger than ever! I finally figured out that probably some UPC folks came through town and did not realize our main Sunday service was not on Sunday night so when they came to some sort of optional Sunday night class with just a few hundred people they assumed the church had split and gone down to nothing.
