Unless I am sadly mistaken Bro. King still holds a UPC license today. He did not resign - he is letting his membership lapse at the end of the first quarter.
the eyewitness accout is that it was turned in at the GB meeting.
I suppose, he is still licenensed until such time as his membership lapses. thus allowing for both views to be technically accurate.
however, baring some unforseen change of heart, Brother J. King is effectively out of the organization.

bro king is a good man, each has to choose his own path, he will let the lord help him make his choice, nothing else to say, it is good if he left with a good spirit even if he had a heavy heart, dt

i think it is wonderful that there was such a prayerful spirit in the meeting between brother King and the General Board.
clearly Brother King will no longer be a member of the UPCI... as you say, in 30 days or so.
I wonder how long this man has been in the UPC. It is very hard to leave what you have known all your life and I kinda feel sorry for these ultracons. They really believe that they are right and that someone needs to take a stand against the shift that they feel the UPC is taking.
The eyewitness account is wrong
He is still a Superintendent, still a minister in good standing even though he announced his intentions.
I obviously am not an eyewitness, (I humbly stand corrected) I was only recounting (concerning his resignation) what I had been told. Never the less I think the point here, is that from every account, there was a good spirit which prevailed and was exemplified though brotherly love and mutual respect.
When the General Board member stood up and said he was leaving ...
HE told the board, and I paraphrase, "Gentleman, the WPF isn't being formed just because of TV. There is a concern amongst more conservative minded men, of what we see as a drifting from Apostolic holiness values."
An insider says it was done in a good spirit and that after he made his comments that several men went and hugged him and were very kind.... Apparently there was no bickering over this ...

Dan,
This is my thoughts as well. Some seem bent on "prophesying" eminent civil war. I think Bro. Kings humble actions as well as the GB's do actually demonstrate the absence of the animosity that some want here.

WOW... that's exactly the way it was when I left the last church I was in before I started a church... that good spirit lasted until the door closed behind me.
The heresy hunters are still with us. Only now, instead of stakes, they use their books and radio programs to destroy those they consider heretics.... I'm concerned that heresy hunting may be turning into leukemia because some cultwatchers seem more intent on destroying parts of the body than healing the body....

...or until the forums got wind of it.
