Renda,

He and Dearrah were ultra-conservative. It doesn't surprise me a bit.

Blessings, Rhoni

Wilmouth was on staff at my home church, so I don't have an ax to grind.

Keith, what I think about what these brethren do is really immaterial.

I too, know, Bro. Booker and Bro. Buxton and whatever path they choose I am sure it is with much prayer.

I will add that there is a meeting being called the first week of Dec. at an unnamed resort area for men to get together to discuss fellowship.

Larry Booker, BJ Wilmouth, Steve Buxton and Clifford Clark have all turned in their cards, I asked for confirmation and the source seem reliable. This will cause some reverberations in the Western District for sure.

IMO, if this is true, it probably has as much to do with the district split as the resolution. They would probably not be happy with the new district policies if everything goes down the way most think it will.

I know that they run together and stuff, but I just know from experience that things can be said by people who really seem to be "in the know"....and they are not...and it makes me very sceptical of the he said/she said conversations.

There are people who have been shocked to find out that things being said about us by "family" in the District is absolutely false....I had one preacher friend (not UPC) call me and ask if everything was ok......come to find out one relative was on the campgrounds saying that we were DIVORCED......LOL!!!!

It was believable because surely this cousin would know....we have not seen or spoken to this cousin in YEARS!!!! But I guess everyone in the OK UPC (and where ever else this lie has gone) thinks we are in deep marriage doodoo...when we are happier than we have ever been! And no one has bothered to call us and ask if it is true....

I heard the same thing. One of our close friends was invited to come. He said he might go but was not interested in forming another organization. He was not against them doing it but he had no desire to join anything.

That's what I was thinking, so OK, he had (maybe) the location wrong.......
