Talmadge French Heads Home to the UPC

[Monterrey]

Politics and poker......




It's all the same!


The game is all about politics and who can be better than who.


It all stinks.

It all stinks.

Yep, it sure does. If men would stop beating their chests long enough to embrace those around them.

[Socialite]

any word on the college?

[Sister Alvear]

I think it was at Brother Holme's I heard him preach...WOW...wish I had the knowledge he does...

[Apocrypha]

He was one of my teachers at Bible College. I didn't enjoy his classes. If a student tried to discuss anything that wasn't in his world view he would bully them and pile drive them semantically right in front of the class. I wasn't at all suprised when he went WPF.

Brother Talmadge French met the NC District Board asking to be received back into the UPCI.. After hearing his request and discussing his situation with him, Bro. French was unanimously received back into fellowship in the UPCI as an ordained minister.

Bro. French realizes now that he did not fully understand what kind of organization the WWPF would be or the direction it would take and wishes to blame no one else for his error in judgment. Things are clearer now and he realizes his mistake and desired to correct it as soon as possible.

Bro French has resigned all positions with the WWPF and has no further obligations with them. He is committed to following the UPCI Manual guidelines whenever ministering outside the UPCI. Because of his excellent research and the book he wrote entitled, “Our God Is One”, he has been able to declare the “Oneness” message in many places outside of our organization.

It's like a tree falling in the forest.

What do you mean? Like... if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it matter?

Ah! The storied rivalry between Godair and Huntley continue. Just like the old days when they were politicking against each other for the DS position. Seems Wayne has one upped Johnny again.

Okay I'll broach the elephant in the room- How much of French's decision was economically motivated?

[Pentecostal]

Glad the UPCI is able to be big enough to accept people back... I think that's a little like Jesus would do :-)
Very sad the WPF started like it did... their whole basis was flawed for leaving and in time, those foundations will not transcend. Just my humble opinion and knowledge of having friends on both sides.
Great thing: You don't have to be either to go to heaven: Just have to be like Jesus... I'm trying hard!
