I am now, and always have been UPCI. I know lots of folk all accross the UPCI and I dont know many who act like what has been pointed out.
Now I went to school with some girls who were indepenant Apostolics who thought it was a sin to shave their legs. It was just nasty.
I have never posted a thread that not shaving legs was the biggest mistake of indepenant apostolics.
I live in Texas. the Church of Christ is huge here and I couldnt believe all the backslidden CoCs Ive met with all kinds of hang ups about the church they were raised in.
If I were going to start listing the UPCIs biggest mistakes, it would likely start
with suffering fools as pastors who bring this kind of reproach on the organization.
I really am sorry for thosee who have sufferd so badly. but that doesnt mean I think this kind of thing is representative of the UPCI as an organization.

The bolded red part sentence should be post of the day!
And, I agree with you, I haven't had any real bad experiences with the UPC, and I defend the UPC for the most part - but I also realize that some HAVE had bad experiences, and I don't want to condescend to them when they are sharing those things.
At the end of the day, a thread like this should encourage those who have had good experiences, like us, to testify to those who haven't had such good experiences and give them hope that there are some good people in the organization.
IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
