This is no joke. Rather, the person isn't joking. I know him personally. He's 'out there' in his theology. He also believes the Divine Flesh doctrine.
I seem to recall that WI lost a church or two to the Divine Flesh doctrine....

I have a suggestion....you know years ago we had Chester Wright for a campmeeting speaker. He spoke pointedly to the ministry and quite frankly the ministry were indignant over what he said and I never heard another thing from CW here in the Western District...So the point of this having to come from someone within the org or higher up is not valid. Not everyone liked or agreed with what the prophets of the OT said about them and repented. Rather they became more indignant.
If this is from God and everyone ignores it, God help us all
If this is NOT from God then God help the author for he spoke in the name of the Lord.
However, would it hurt anyone to read this "word" and be introspective and examine seriously what is said and whether or not we can find room for improvement in the areas that were mentioned? without having to admit this is indeed a sharp rebuke from God to the Ministry of the UPCI?

Prax,
It's not what he said it's WHERE he said it . nightly services at a family camp was not the proper place to rebuke the leaders and pastors of our District. I was there when it happend and BTW, he apologized for it
