How, exactly, is one thrown out of a *movement*?

Well, perhaps you can provide a lecture, in the more positive sense of the
word, on precisely what you did mean. If his church was not affiliated with
the UPC, and he was not credentialed with the UPC, in what sense *was* he
"in the UPC"?

I would think the burden of proof rests with you to provide documentation
when stating matter-of-factly that "Jim Jones WAS in the UPC," particularly
on a publically archived list, and particularly when you yourself called
your source "a wacko." ;-)

Bro. Sterrett's comments, if I'm not mistaken, draw on the knowledge of Rev.
Paul Mooney of Indianapolis, certainly a highly credible source.
