Nope , just a UPC thing period, all Upc are that way.
They are right and they know it. If you disagree then you are not only wrong but damned.
I don't know why anyone would step foot in or give a dime to UPC.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Not true...not even nearly true.

A very Ultra Conservative UPC Pastor told one of his saints that if he were to go to another UPC down the street that is not as strict as theirs....he might as well not go to church at all.
This does not surprise me one bit. In the church my husband was raised in, we were taught that there were no better UPC churches than ours...none were holy enough as well as many other things.
The inconsistencies I see in UPC are staggering. We had an evangelist and his wife in church this past Sunday...the wife had very obviously cut hair...in another church we attended they allowed a trinitarian preach in their pulpit. When my husband recently preached in a neighboring state, they made him take his wedding band off before he could even step inside their home and made sure we did not own a tv. These types of things have always been preached against hard where we come from. I honestly do not understand all the inconsistencies...I'm not saying I think any of this is wrong...it is just confusing.
