We need to build better ships and keep out the rats.

The ship may sink, but the crew can survive and build a better ship.

Is there such a thing as a "rat free" ship? IDK--it's like trying to keep mice or ants out of your house, I think its impossible. Of course I speaking literally and not as an allegory.

I am deeply saddened by the turn of events since "the vote". Mostly I am saddened by the way that our brethren, those of like precious faith, are acting. It is as though we have forgotten that we are to first of all be Christians! I see very little Christianily being displayed among us, and for that I am sad.

I implore you all, don't speculate or call names of those who you may have heard are leaving. It has always been my policy to be sure before I speak. It seems that there are alot of folks just plain gossiping!

I consider my self a "middle of the roader". I am very pleased at the passing of Res. #4, and I love my Organization. I love what it stands for and the vision to reach the lost that we share. May God help us!

I knew SC and heard him speak many times. I remember him making a similar gesture (he didn't have a Manual in hand though) and said something along the lines that as a Christian you would be judged out of this book (the Bible) and as a minister of the UPC you are expected to act as though you were to be judged out of the Manual.

He made it a real point to emphasize the importance of being a Christian first and answering that need for your soul. At no time did I ever hear him say anything along the lines that "the UPC would 'save' you." Like so many others, he seemed to feel that human organizations were a 'necessary evil' to enable us to get the more important things done.

Certainly at no time did I ever hear him put the UPC Minister's Manual on a par with sacred Scripture. If he were here to read those words, in fact, I think he would be both hurt and rather angry.

Also, keep in mind that TLC "retired" to Bro. Nate Wilson's Rock Church in CA.

These facts might give some credence to the assertion of Linus and Lucy's friend CB.

well said Bro Jones

Amen. This is true.
