Obviously, there is more that I love about my church than hate, else'n I'd take your advice and just get out (and why do I get the impression that is what you would like me to do???)
Not at all sister, not at all
I'm sure if I had started out at one of the more conservative UPC churches, I WOULD HAVE "gotten out" a long time ago!!
You do seem to be very touchy on the subject of standards. I have a question for you. Can you accept me if I don't adhere to your holiness standards?
Yes ma'am I can
Here's my thing. I promise not to make fun of the way you dress if you promise not to make fun of the way I dress. 'K?

Not touchy on the subject itself , just touchy about people who judge it,
Your last line sums up the way I feel.
Like I have said, My pastor teaches that how you live for God is between you and God. Our job is to get people in the church, God will do the rest.

Re: District Puts WPF on Notice
Just don't get all touchy when God does something different than you expected. God isn't going to put everyone in long sleeves long skirts, and long hair.

Yeah, I don't feel God moving me in that direction in our relationship. http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...ons/icon11.gif

For some the sleeves and skirts might be debatable but they believe that long uncut hair on women is an absolute. That is how they believe the scripture reads so in their paradigm God is not going to go against his word and condone something different.

Does it say anywhere in my post that I believe that way?!?!?!
*sigh*
I don't know what I have to say or how I have to say it to get it through everyones head.
Its like you can't be a member of UPC and NOT cram standards down people throat or expect them to adhere.
I am starting to wonder if maybe the brainwash, kool-aid drinking is really on the other side of the court. Ya'll have been douped into thinking all this negativity about UPC.

Re: District Puts WPF on Notice
Not all Democrats are queers, lesbians, baby killers, anti-christians, etc. But we associated democrats with the radical aspects of the parties. The radical aspect of the upci is still in control. The "Apostolic Identity" as defined by upci is unscriptural. A broad brush is acceptable to use when over 90% of one's group has those thoughts.
