Steadfast...just the other day I sat and read 2 e-mails that had been sent to one of the "49". This man was also a District official. His Dis. Super told him not to go to Tulsa and if he did he would have to resign, and if he didn't that the DS would force him too resign. Saw this with my own 2 peepers.
Trust me...if you join up with the WPC sooner or later the UPC will be knocking at your door.

Then it will eventually become a much bigger thing than I think the UPC is going to want to encounter right now. I travel quite a bit and preach in multiple districts every month but, honestly, I've not heard anything of the sort.
But, then again, I'm not too important evidently because nobody has tried to recruit me to join anything... and I think now that I've talked to 4 of the 6 getting most of the attention.
Also just preached at the Assistant General Superintendent's Church a few weeks ago and heard nothing of the sort.
Talked to my Superintendent a few weeks ago and he wondered if I was going... said it would be an interesting meeting! No mention of 'don't go' at all.
Oddly enough, I'm also preaching for one of the coordinators of this Tulsa deal and then less than a month later preaching for his District Superintendent. Again, nothing remotely said in all our conversations on either side.
Who knows... maybe they all (on both sides) know my premiere goal in life is just being saved. Outside of that they can do about whatever they want.

It's puzzling that your church could not be associated with the UPC, but it seemingly can be with the WWAF. Help me understand.

It might've been the distance between our church and the upc church that was built down the street. I'm not exactly sure. If we had of joined the upc we would've fit more into the conservative crew.

It seems very logical as in all or most states there are many legal reasons a pastor needs to be liensed.
Why would they not license?

No difference whatsoever, has to the right or wrong of it. One should be consistent to practice what one preaches, methinks.
John Grisham's books are full of profanity and beer guzzling, and other immoral behavior.

If he is your pastor, you should go ask him.

Why has he not announced it to the church? How is it you are aware of this and the church at large is not?
If it is a UPCI church, I think he is required to let the church know. I may be wrong, but it appears to be somewhat deceptive not to let the church know of his change.

I agree. If you are a member of his church then go and ask him.

If you are a life long member of a conservative UPC church then surely you are not surprised consistent logic is not being applied when it comes to standards!!!!???? Never has been and apparently never will.

Exactly right!
It is also apparent that it takes some longer than others to realize this,
