hmmm, you could be UPC/ALJC/PAW or independent. 

(dragging out the soap box again)
If I may I will explain what I beleive is part of the reason the orgs
are so often the brunt of the post. Plain and simple they are man-made
orgs and as such they are suseptable to the short comings of man. So
often the short comings of the elected officials or members of an
affiliate church are transfered to the org.  Just like the "Inquisition"
is placed on all Christians by the non-Christians. Lack of details often
give orgs a black eye.

just my thoughts - esp when looking at my own feelings of the events of
the last few weeks :o(

Lord Bless in the Precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Bro Bill (glad to be ind., sad not to be UPC, but most of all glad to be
in the truth) Clifton
