I learned many good things in the UPC!!! I also learned the art of religious politics, which I now despise. Unfortunately, it is still alive and well in the org and other orgs for that matter. One good reason I don't belong to any org currently even though there are some good ones out there!

religious politics is definately alive and well.... in many, many organizations....
MOW, being out of any org, what method do you use to remain accountable in doctrine/belief/etc.... do you have an elder/mentor/etc in your ministry to look to???
