I would like to know the names of the people in the UPC who are being pressured to join the WPF. Don't just say it is happening (FACT). Give some facts. If one of my friends in the WPF were the violator - I would be shocked and would loose all confidence in them. As an evangelist, I preached for many of the leaders of the WPF and I have the highest regard for these men. I have talked with several of these men since the formation of the WPF. I have never even heard a comment to leave the UPC. I have never heard them speak against the UPC. I have not seen anyone on this forum from the WPF run the UPC down. I have seen the opposite. Why is that a FACT?
We are all now patiently waiting for the names. Names. That is what we all want. We are on the wait for the FACTS (Names). Who's calling who? Lift the shroud of secrecy and reveal to us these apostolic rascals whose sole purpose is to bring the UPC down. I personally don't believe they exist. If your telling the truth, then I feel cheated. No one asked me to join. No one pleaded with me to leave.

I can't betray a confidence, so no names today. I will say this again. I have deep respect for most of the WPF leadership as pastors, preachers, and theologians of first rank.
But they are not perfect, and we are simply pointing out the facts. The only reason I even bring it up is because they have disparaged the direction the UPCI is taking by their actions. Even the statement "A preferred Apostolic future" they used in the beginning smacked of superiority.
All I am saying is that, "He who lives in glass houses should not throw stones." Are the UPCI leadership blameless? Are you kidding me? Of course not!! They are imperfect also.
As a parting comment, It is somewhat naive for you to think no-one was encouraged to join the WPF in the crazy days that immediately followed the Resolution vote. How much was done no one will ever know, but it did happen.
So, love the WPF and enjoy your time there, and have revival. What's done is done.
