b) Is this an acceptable method to express their belief(s). If so, why? If not, why?
c) What would be short-term and/or long-term repercussions of such actions?

on a side-note, I'm sure we could prove that otherwise....

You may have the traffic ... but fewer are logging in ... more and more are just lurking.

some of the areas SFC helps.

Lighthouse Ranch for Boys
Tupelo Children's Mansion
New Beginnings
Foreign Missions with Vehicles
Home Missions with Church Grants and church-in-a-day
% of the SFC offering stays in the Local District to fund District Events like Camps, Retreats, and Conferernces.

These are the areas hurt by withdrawal of SFC offerings.

Why would he ask that question?

The UPCI is headed in the wrong direction my friend....

It truly is sad that Lighthouse Ranch, Tupelo, etc. etc. etc. will have to suffer BECAUSE OF THE BAD DECISIONS OF THE LEADERSHIP (I.E. HAZLEWOOD) OF THE UPCI... not the local pastors who disagree with the direction of the organization. I know pastors, who instead of routing their monies through UPCI foreign missions (and having about 2/3 taken out for "administrative costs") are sending their monies directly to the missionaries themselves, and they are receiving 100% of the money, instead of just 1/3.... Also, pastors can support Lighthouse Ranch and Tupelo directly without having to route their money through Hazlewood. What the local pastor are trying to do is withold support the worldly agendas of hazlewood moneygrabbers and displays of carnality as seen at NAYC...

JMHO

HORSE HOCKEY!
