Non payment allows a man to go with no district board action and he leaves with no questions upon him....
Let's see how you spin that.....
His leaving an writing ony shows he is a man of conviction and lives by them even if he leaves 45 years of membership.....
No matter how he left....
This bunch will find a way to ridicule....
The same bunch that rejoices when liberals leave for their reasons....

Now tell the truth, rks....
It's not the "only" way to leave the UPCI....
I'm educated enough to know it's not the only way to leave the UPCI....
(By the way....I was right and educated enough about the Jewish Revival and the minister who lied about it. Seems I remember getting a pretty harsh reaction from you when I made the statement. Due respect, you're as wrong with this statement now as you were back then.)
His leaving shows nothing about conviction....
It merely shows he's leaving because he can't get along with those he disagrees with....
He has conviction....
Wow....
Is conviction that rare among ministers now....
That we must point out and applaud certain ones who extol their own virtues....
Conviction....
So did many of the ones who left in '92....
But they were never applauded....
They were never given the status of "men of conviction" or "men of integrity"....
No matter how positive the thread....
The same certain bunch would find something to criticize....
BOSM, that AFF....
Charismatics....
Liberals....

Regardless of what side does it, I still think it's a cheap and easy way to go. And I still have anyone to disagree that the record would show the UPC as dropping the minister, rather than the minister leaving the UPC - as it should show.

If "they" equals me, then you should note I'm not taking a "cheap shot at ... VM." I have from the beginning disagreed with anyone who would leave by way of not paying their dues.
I disagreed with your former DS, KP, when he first stated he was leaving and mentioned that as a possible means of exit.
I have nothing against a person who wants to leave. By all means, leave if you want to. My disagreement is in the way they're leaving . . . not with the individuals.
I know that probably disappoints you and rks, but it's the method - not the man - I'm against.
