The above was said in response to someone "encouraging them" that there are some people higher up in the UPC trying to point out the lies they force people to suck down. I am not sure why anyone would wait??? Unless you are still drinking the Kool-aid believing it is the only church that saves. (Not saying you believe this at all)
I can see looking for the right timing to leave, but not stick around because you want to STILL stay a part of an ORGANIZATION that doesn't even recognize the Body of Christ at large. A bunch of humans taking the place of God by deciding who is and isn't going to hell by their interpretation. An organization that treats people that love God, possibly more than them, worse than a stray dog they may find on the street.
How crazy is this? Some people are staying in a church pretending they believe stuff that isn't true. They are waiting for a group of men to make a decision for the whole UPC that releases them from living a lie. For your own sake, release yourself from the lie, don't wait on a group of men to decide what the Bible says today, so they can change it again tomorrow.
Why would you want to be a part of an organization that decides for you what the Bible says and what you can and can't do? It sounds a bit like how the Catholics used to live, where only the Priest could tell them what the Bible said.
Sorry, I guess this hit a nerve today. I am missing my family that thinks I am going to hell, because I don't go to their church. Yet, I know so many that are just living a lie in that church, because they don't want to have to experience the same hell they are required to put me through.
