Good grief Sam! They didn't check underwear. They prohibited pajama pants for the girls. Before you go on a tangent, I know of many apostolic girls that would be offended at the sight of another girl in pajama pants. And before someone says that the men are obsessed with this, it had nothing to do with men! Conservative girls don't wear pants. Pretty simple stuff here. You don't have to agree. Attend elsewhere. Keep doing what you're doing and let them do what they do.
Still very sad. my parents were very very ULTRA CON and yet this kinda of foolishness was not part of it. I am finding the more I hear of this kind of thing that even though I was raised ULTRA CON that we still had MORE BALANCE than many who we thought of as LIBERAL.
Here's another concern of mine. While the evening speaker preached, he stated certain saints always bail to other churches when they don't get their way. He said they need to stick around and listen to the elders? I then thought to myself, the pastors on the platform are applauding this speaker, yet when the TV resolution passed, all of those pastors on the platform bailed out of the UPCI! My God, I thought we were suppose to stick it out, and listen to the elders advising against leaving the UPCI?
This point was an excellent one! Inconsistency at its best.

Yet, I still count these insulting conservative men/women, all loving conservatives as myself , all liberals and moderates as my brother and sister, and I love them all.
Sincerely,

What you see are valid concerns. God be with you....

I was also told by a saint that he/she was instructed to keep their distance from me since I left "the flock." They restrict their people from fellowshipping with UPC brethren, yet these conservative brethren fellowship with other liberal pastors, and even golf and hunt with them! The five-fold ministry doesn't possess the position of a dictator, at least last time I checked.
This was also told to people in my home church too - the pastor pulled the church from UPC and there were quite a few that left and the remaining members were told to not to have anything to do with them even if they were their own family members - it's sad but it happens - nothing anyone can do about it but know that in time God will deal with it.

Yeah, Sam, sheesh. Checking for holy underwear, why, that would be ridiculous. Now, jammies, that's another matter!
BTW, Bryan, when they found those wicked jammies, did they send the owners home? Presumably, they wouldn't have any back-ups, so confiscation wouldn't do any good. (Gasp! The implications of that boggle the mind!)
