There are some on here that discuss the downfall of UPC that are still very much a part of UPC.

To be honest with you, I am just venting. I am getting to the point that I am growing weary of reading so many negative things about the Church. I know I have done my share of complaining in the past. No denial there. It's just that I have begun to see the Church as being under attack, from without and from within. There seems to be something afoot that is bent on destroying the Church, using any means possible, including those who are its members. It seems to be moving beyond the actions of individuals to discrediting the Church as a whole. I am not just talking about the UPC either. We seem to be disintegrating into splits and factions, each with its own ideas, purpose, and goals. There is an old saying that says, "United we stand. Divided we fall."
