The good news is the both times I have went the exact same people attended. No growth. All from the church in the next town that my wife grew up in. That 4-5 months apart I visited. I think they will have trouble.


I see all this UPC pumping up and rallying the crowd as a signal of decline. The old crap is not working anymore. They hemorrhaged on the membership in the 1990’s and they are nose-diving to oblivion. The only growth in the US is among fresh immigrants dazed and confused in a strange land. The next generation of immigrants will not be Pentecostals. Among the native born, the game is over. I suppose if they go out, they might as well go out with a bang. They lay in the trenches. The generals pump up the troops for the final assault against the machine-gun nest of the ex-Pentecostals and our allies. They are doomed. Once they come out of the trenches, there will be serious carnage.

They are doing a movement’s Death Dance.
666 The Beast, Keeper of the Seals

I survived the fire that burned too hot, the high that was too high, the vision that was too bright, and the dreams that were only fantasy. I came crashing to the ground, but here I stand – standing.
