It's okay for district officials to lie and slander others. It's okay for men of prominence to revise history and ignore the fact that many of the founding fathers had different opinions?

Is it bitterness to point out the upci of today is nothing like the upci of the merger?

Is it bitterness to point out the upci didn't have a dress code in its original manual?

Is it bitterness to point out the preachers caught in sexual sins are usually given nothing more than what is equivelent to an in school suspension, if that much while they ask for preachers licenses if they don't preach a subjective dress code for salvation?

I have been in almost evey state east of the Mississippi River, and a few on the other side. Any objective person would agree the upci today is not the same as it was at the merger.

If the upci is supposed to be the standard bearer for revival, why is the average attendance of the North American upci church considerably less than 100 members? The largest segment of upci churches have between 40-80 members. There aren't that many 'daughter churches' in the upci.

The last set of numbers I've seen, if it were not for the foreign numbers, the upci would have less members than the Seventh Day Adventists.

I am honored to be lumped in with other bitter former upci'ers such as Rhoni, Timlan, Daniel A., Bill Price.
I think this is a very sad statement and I'm glad you didn't put me in this group. I want no bitterness in my heart. I'm glad for where we are today, but I will never resent being raised UPC. I have many fond memories from them.

They are the group that brought us to a relationship with Christ and mothered us. As we always say, "You don't talk bad about yo' mama!!!"
