Its really really old actually. Been happening since the garden. Adam pointed at the woman, the woman pointed at the serpent, and they all suffered the consequences. But it still all came down to personal choice for both Adam and Eve. I guess they could have blamed God for putting that stupid tree in the garden...

Can you guys please give me an example of the wild allegations made by myself or AAK? We added to the discussion a few issues that we deemed very specific to Pentecostalism and the Oneness movement and possible reasons why so many young folks are leaving. We all know that the youth of every other denomination are leaving also but I am not so sure that they are leaving for the same reasons.
If you want to take issue with these then please do so but don't rant and rave about how we are attacking. Almost 100% of all that I talk to that leave the UPC have the same issues with the out of control altar calls and most of them consider it just a bunch of hype and some even question if God is even real after seeing these displays.
