You might agree that its kind of like watching a cannon ball coming straight at your head in very slow motion.

You know what's going to happen but you also know its too late to duck to dodge it.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

It saddens me to see how many post on here and sound joyful about men breaking fellowship. If the upci splits as sad as I might be or you might be the church will still be as strong as ever and it will not change. I wish some of you would read back over this thread and read your post. Maybe you might rethink your attitudes.

I am not happy about it at all. I don't think anyone is.

You are right again.

Few are truly happy about it. Still, as long as you don't have glycloma **edit** OUCH!

Post edited by myself.

I've been warned that my post was a "bit too strong."

Sorry!

I don't think anyone is hoping for the UPC to split so that it will no longer exist, or that somehow it will be weakened (from whatever perspective). I believe and I think others do as well, that the UPC needs to establish and solidify their position on issues like never before, be distinct, be precise, whether it be TV or no TV, conservative or not so conservative. The UPC is slowly losing its identity beyond simply appearing to be separate from mainstream religion.

I am all for the UPC becomming the most strict and conservative organization on the planet. The UPC needs definition.

I read on these forums, and read some more, and it seems to me that some would like nothing more than for the entire UPCI to disintegrate. There is a call it seems, like one I heard not too long ago, to leave the UPCI. Why? How dare we hope that fellowship dissolves and brethren separate over the issue of TV?! Just who do we think we are, some of us, hoping for this?

There will be no splitsville, and if there is, it is because someone was looking for a way out and plans to use TV as an excuse. That is as plain and simple as one can get. Regardless of what happens, I am in a UPC church home, and am staying in my UPC church home.

God Bless His People Everywhere! Thank Jesus for the UPC!

Same sort of folks that secretly hope a church down the street falls apart so they can possibly absorb new members perhaps?
