You know what hurts the most. I was raised in the UPCI and would hold licenses in it today except I could not / would not tell that lie. I love the UPCI, but it hurts me to see and know several ministers who will do wrong and a blind eye by others be turned to it. Where is their love for the truth. They say they stand for the Word of God. I've talked to a few and they say it's for the better good. I must ask, where does this thinking come from?

Oh puulleezzz. Put down the "self righteous" bull horn.

You ask "where is their love for the truth" and then in the next sentence talk about standing for the "Word of God". Yet your argument is against a rule of man not the Word of God..

I have spoken to some pastors also and have found that the general opinion is they will sign the little card because over all the UPC is a good organization to be a part of. But they do not neccesarily agree with everything. I am a member of a UPC church. We have members who don't adhere to the "custom" standards but are still very much Holy Ghost filled saints of God.

If they have a TV in their home and use it to watch dvd's or such.. oh well.

Personally its a double standard to allow internet without restrictions but not TV. Another falicy of the UPC. They have several. But I have always been a member and don't fore see that changing. It is a great group in bringing together the body of Christ.

Funny, everyone claims we can not be perfect yet they expect UPC to be perfect. Of course thats probably because its in the manual that the UPC is perfect. Forgot what section, paragraph, article.
