"The Giant Sucking Sound"

Old Paths · #1 09-28-2007, 10:59 AM

As Ross (Can't win, but I will run anyway) Perot said back in 1992 "NAFTA will create a giant sucking sound" as USA jobs go south to Mexico.

So will the passing of Resolution 4 cause "a giant sucking sound" as ministers that feel betrayed by the org. leave the UPC for other orgs. or the vast world of Good Independent Brethren. (GIBs).

Now I find that interesting that brethren would feel betrayed by the org when they have not been forced to do anything.

Nothing whatsoever changes for those who do not want to use the medium.

For many I believe it is an issue of not wanting to be identified with this medium in any way... especially organizationally.

Imagine a pastor that has been totally against the use of TV and a non church going friend tells him that they saw an ad to "visit the United Pentecostal Church near you".

And he knows that his money has help pay for the ad.

If you identify yourself as "UPCI" and they stand for something which you are vehemently against... how does that make you look?

Just asking questions... not challenging you...

How will his money pay for the ad?

Is the org going to make it's own ads?

What if their pastor stays in the UPC and they leave?
Would they be disobeying the one with the rule in their lives?
