Do I think you can Administer fairly from your perspective? I'm not sure you do on the standards issue, since you asked. There is a difference in laying out your opinion and making it ALWAYS come across as taunting, critical and condescending. That is my impression of your words when you speak about the things you don't like about the UPC.

I haven't seen Renda ever do these things. She shares her opinion and tries to see both sides of the issue, for each person individually. I can respect that. I know she doesn't agree with said, "standards", but she doesn't use her words to make the ones carrying that said "standard" as ignorant.

As to your question on the Conservatives having the capacity to serve fairly - I don't think either side is more favored. I believe we should be compelled to state our opinions on any issue without ridiculing the other.

My best friend, who attends church with me, worships with me, is also used in the gifts and does not keep standards. She respects me and I respect her. We don't argue about these things. We both realize that we must EACH make a decision for how we feel we need to present ourselves to God. How we feel it is best for us. How we feel we are being lead. It should be that way for everyone on this Forum.

Good post. But it is not this way. Your spiritual convictions that may be derived from your relationship with God are being slammed on here as not being of God at all but you have been brainwashed by the mean evil mothership.

Truth is, especially in Arkansas district and some north Louisiana churches I have been to, UPC is not stressing the standards. I don't care what letters from above you post on here, our preachers preach what they feel of God to preach. Lately that has been dicipleship, evanglism, get out and bring the lost to church, if He wants them to shave or not He will tell them.

With the exception of some UPC churches and the WPF I think the days of craming standards down ones throat are over,

Some just can't let go of the past. I believe if the UPC repealed its AoF and the standards, most on here (instead of being happy) would then slam them for being hypocrits all this time.

Seems like it is just the nature of things here.
