Re: Before There Was UPCI....

Your honesty brought tears to my eyes...
I do not know you but am so glad you could be with your folks worshipping the one true living God. Thank you.

Re: Before There Was UPCI....

This was a really great initial post. I am moved. I'm thankful that God touched your heart and gave you an appreciation for what your godly Dad bestowed upon you and your siblings all the days of their youth. Above all, he gave you the greatest treasure known to man and that is the revelation of who Jesus is. Truly, you have a lot to be thankful for.

Great thread. I am curious, however, about the "heathen" ways that caused the UPC folks to want you to avoid your family.

You can say like the Psalmist says, "...I have a godly heritage." Psalm 16:6

P.S. what were the "heathen" ways they attributed to your family?

Television in the home and the fact my parents allowed my sisters to wear feminine pants and jeans.

There were other issues, but most of it was my spewing of "holier-than-thou" negativity about my family to folks who were willing to become my new family.

Their intents were based on love.
The intents of my parents were motivated out of love too, even more so because they were my parents.
