The Fallout Continues

I received word that a District Superintendent stated today that he was "shaken to his soul" because so many churches nationwide are disaffiliating from the UPCI. Whole sections are disaffiliating all over the country. It is said that TLC, who has been UPC for over 50 years, is turning in his card. The DS stated, "it's much bigger than anyone thought!"

I have not verified this, so it is to be taken that way.

I'd have to see that to believe it!

I heard from another source that TLC and 1st Church are pulling out! It's almost like a frenzy right now!

Of course, my opinion is that it's for the best in the long run for the health of the UPCI!

He and I talked for 2 hrs at GC before the vote. He told me that he would have supported a resolution that allowed the ORG to run commercials. He also told me that he would not leave the UPC over this. So unless he has changed, and I doubt it, this is not true.

Wonderful!

Men are following their convictions.

Aha! Daniel Alicea was right!

There WAS a secret regrouping meeting.

Let's pray that they can be objective....not all convictions are right or good for us.

I am shocked at men I am hearing are leaving I never thought some would leave I am a lousy prophet. A friend and myself discussed it and neither of us thought very many would leave. It is encouraging that some will follow their convictions even when it costs them dearly.

How many are you hearing that is leaving. At first, I thought that 200 leaving would be a high number, but now I am beginning to think that 200 may be a low number. Alot of men that I did not know would leave are leaving.

Today, at the restraunt, a UPC man walked up to us and said he is getting out over this tv advertising issue. One would be hard pressed to go to any of his saints homes and NOT find a tv in them. We were shocked to say the least. This man is not considered conservative by any means of the imagination.

...and people just thought that the Shadow knows all.
