I think #52 points out what's at the heart of this discussion. For years people have had to sit and listen while "conservatives" violated #52 - "I could smell those liberals when I flew over Idaho..." without the "conservatives" ever being challenged.
We had a gang of school yard bullies running through our organization who were given pretty much free reign to say and do whatever they wanted.
Do a GOOGLE search on the "UPC" and the word "cult." In every example that the so-called "anti-cult" people cite of "abuse" within the UPC it is a case where some "conservative" took the "conservative" principles and got in trouble. This has been a source of constant embarassment to people in the UPC.
Not only has this faction continually abused the saints that God has placed in their care, but they have defied the Manual and our elected leaders and heaped scorn upon everyone who didn't follow in lock step with them.
