I dont really , just reading post. See, people who have serious issues and are understanding of those issues have post that are a blessing even in their pain. MOW blesses me, RandyWayne blesses, Freeatlast blesses.

People who have no more to contribute than a one line pot shot are simply a waste of bytes. JMO

Probably so MOW, I was just curious, not calling them out.

In as much as others want people to see the bad side of UPC churches, I want to show people the good side. And no, its not the org I am defending, its the people. I think thats where others get confused, the org is not a "thing", it is people, God fearing, salvation seeking people. And we do have a heart, we do care and in despite what others have done, we hurt to hear the stories. But we also hurt to be included in the fray.

So true! But the org represents a body of ideas and philosophies as a whole. That is the problem. I don't know if it can ever shake that. There are some mighty fine Christian leaders in it whom I respect highly. However, most people outside the UPC don't get warm fuzzies from its reputation. That is just the reality. I hope it changes and I know some are trying really hard, but again, the odds are against it happening.

You want a retraction ? Earn one.

Elaborate on your post. Don't just stand there and point a mocking finger or an "in your face" post. Elaborate. I started this thread asking honest questions as a mature individual. Those who have come here in good spirit and expressed their hearts have recieved my respect. You came here and threw up a one line "in your face" comment and then "demand a retraction" of the same ? No Sir, earn it ! Be a blessing for a change instead of part of the problem. Everyone else here has.
