TR, I would not go as far to say that there is ill-will from some of us to the UPC. There is always two sides to the story, remember. If someone in the UPC or the UPC itself has hurt someone the hurt is valid. I think that some of what is said on here against the UPC is not so much from bitterness, but maybe from disappointment. Think about it. Most of us, I would venture to say, were raised in or around the UPC. At some point in our life the UPC was made to look like the only way to heaven. Once we are old enough to find and search and see things for ourselves and see the UPC is not the only way. I can not speak for others, but it disappoints me cause I honestly wanted to believe the UPC was the only true church, but as I got old and searched the Bible for myself I see things different. So at least for me it mostly from disappointment that I speak. I am very, very glad for the UPC and ALJC have done for me, but I can not sit back and act like they are they only church.

As to UPC being the only way to heaven... thats laughable, regardless of one's current affiliation or theology. Surely noone here believes that.
