Personally, Yes, anytime you go aginst the common UPCI thought you are going
to get lambasted. I have been lambasted several times. Though I just ignor
the problem. They don't know how to discuss things when you get out of thier
comfort zone. They are convinced beyond a doubt that they have the truth, so
why discuss anything.

I hope that you wont leave. The people that are on this list for the most
part are good people. I fear though that they are in groups where repession
is the order of the day. I know that I could not serve God if I had to buy
the "Compnay Line". The Bible has some much more that to say we have it all,
is doing the catholics do, PUTTING GOD IN A BOX.

I serve a God that is into tearing down walls, routing enemies and giving
blessing that one could not contain. In fact I will share one with the
group. I will starting at a job on the 20th of Feb, with Boeing working with
thier UNIX systems. It will be a really good size pay raise and benifits. So
God can bless even us that people think are in false doctrine.

Brother Glenn, hang in there, we have all come under attack by people on
this list that would like to see it UPC only. What they don't seem to
understand that even in the UPC their views are seen as a step over the
edge.
