Maintain the district camp ground and office? Pay salary for office help? Pay DS salary? Just guessing.

Some may be unaware that in addition to the normal cost for each level of license that goes to headquarters, each district has their own fees as well and they vary.

I've got a $275k life insurance policy that costs $32/month. $10k is nothing for life insurance.
The mag subscription isn't worth more than $25/year.
And the directory is online. Google is free.
They should offer health insurance for the dues. Training/continued education programs, free conferences. Instead its like a business, ain't nuthin' free here.*

Re: Im almost out of time
The time has come and gone and I have not paid my dues. I have a car insurance and electric bill payment to make. The insurance is two weeks late and about to be canceled. I simply do not see any alternative but to pay for these necessities first.

Re: Im almost out of time
Well, you may lose your license with man, but you still have a license that was paid in full 2000 years ago to preach!

Re: Im almost out of time
I don't know why you just don't pay your dues out of your tithes. I do. Just a thought.

Re: Im almost out of time
So sad to see another brother leave the mother ship.

So now all of a sudden you get to decide what part of your giving counts as tithes?
I thought tithes could only go to the local church?
But then again since y'all have no Bible for that doctrine I suppose just make it up as you go.

Spare me. Whether he should or shouldn't leave is his choice, but what's sad is you bemoan the brother leaving the UPC because of dues but could apparently care less whatever struggles the brother has.
Its just another person off your team. Why are you so sad? Do you think the brother lost His salvation because he couldn't renew? No hope outside of the UPC? I am always arguing against people who say the UPC is a cult, but there are undoubtedly cult elements, and many people whose mindset reminds me of JWs and the way they view their org. Abiding Now is Exhibit A.
