give your opinion, good or bad so that we can discuss it.

Booker told his church this past sunday night about how the tv vote went - said the organization took a turn towards destruction. He also said he was suprised at how many ministers nationwide are not happy.

Booker went on to say that the day of the vote was such an emotional day of sadness just like when JFK was shot and when the towers were hit on 9/11. He got the same feeling when the vote passed as on 9/11.

It is interesting to note that the original vote against tv took place in Tulsa in 1955 - maybe that's why they picked Tulsa as the place to form the new organization - to make a statement?

Also, Tommy Craft went to see Ken Phillips before the vote and apparently Wanda Phillips pleaded with Tommy Craft saying "don't let the movement (upc) go the way we did in regards to television. TV will steal everything from you"

crying and screaming Booker said in his message "me and and many other good men refuse to go that route - we will stand for holiness"

gave an example of how the PAW lost its standards and holiness.

said he would still fellowship his close (ulta-con) friends that stay in the upc

If he really said these things you've got to question his ... uhm ... you've got to question this.

If the Tampa vote represented "destruction" to the fellowship, why is he surprised "at how many ministers nationwide are not happy?" Sounds like double-pleading. He is joining disparate thoughts together and trying desperately to make them flow into one conclusion. If the vote was "destruction for the UPC, then more people than just Larry B. and his circle ought to be concerned.

I don't know Wanda Phillips, but does she (or anyone?) really think Tommy Craft has the ability to overturn the Tampa vote. LB paints her like a frightened, even hysterical woman who is seeking to undermine her own husband's ministry.

These guys laugh about "evangelistically speaking" and making jokes when one of their own exaggerates something beyond all recognition. I wonder about their Gospel message (the Evangel) when it needs to have so much distortion, half truths and outright fabrications to promote it. The Gospel of Jesus Christ needed none of those things.
