The television ban was based on faulty logic to begin with. It was the only media which was preached against. As time passed by exceptions were made and when the legalists embraced internet, there was no reason left for a television ban in the manual. It ranks up there with John Kerry's I voted for the war before I voted against it type of rationale.

While men close their eyes while signing their names. Hmmm could they be called Illegalists?

Hi and yes I live in Oregon....you know how big the Oregon District is? Of course I know Pastor Langley. The guy is like 2nd in command in Oregon lol

I knew some people he used to pastor. I also heard him preach a few times and once or twice about his home state.

Really? Did you get the PM I sent you?

And Pastor Langley's home state is Arkansas, not Louisiana.

So in my church in Oregon you couldn't watch TV because it was a sin because the Pastor said so. If I go to another state I could own a TV because the Pastor said so and it is not a sin.

So do we sin against God or against man with this example?

Have you never read this in your Bible?

Psalm 101
[1] I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
[2] I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
[3] I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
[4] A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
[5] Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
[6] Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
[7] He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
[8] I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Yes, I have read that a time or two....

Remember, it is impossible not to set a wicked thing in front on your eye. If you are at a computer...you are doing so right now in my opinion if you believe the TV is wicked I believe the computer is 10 times worse!

Besides, your org is advertising on TV now so they believe in using this as a tool to reach the lost. If it was evil like you claim it is, then it seems you have some things to sort out with your org.

Yes, I got it. Thanks for the info about Langley.....he is from Arkansas but I guess he had a lots of ties in the state just south of that...Louisiana. He talked and held back tears when he said 'Louisiana is losing it's holiness".

Are you Apostolic and how do you define Apostolic?

That is a tough word to define. It might take a page or two.
Do you want me to type it up? It might take a couple of days if you really are interested.

Absolutely. Start a new thread separate from this one.

Ok bro, sounds good. Maybe I can start it and we can add to it as we go?
Right now I am in need of some sleep and I have a tribal visit tomorrow 3 hours one way so hopefully I won't be too tired driving.
