Is any of the men or women involved, part of this forum? Are they ready for comment? Or are we basing everything on hear say? Please forgive me, but don't these threads look more like lynch mobs at times?

At times, the way things are presented looks like a lynch mob to me also.
Though I don't like some of Dan's commentary, his questions are pertinent and should be addressed by the leadership in the UPC since the local and district leaders dropped the ball, imo. The fact that this situation came to public court and the name, UPC, was brought out in relation to the minister involved, I would think the UPC as a whole should clarify that the beliefs of this one minister do not reflect those of the entire organization unless, of course, the UPC does define fornication in the same broad terms this minister did.
The accusations stem from the court case, court documents, the defendant's lawyer for the most part.
