Took only one reply to hijack the thread and turn it into a bash and gossip thread.

How in the world can you still preach against TV when you watch and broadcast on Yoututbe?

What am I missing here folks?

You can't control what shows up on TV (like Muppet babies teaching crossdressing to kids, but I digress), but you can control what you see on YT.

Not sure if you’re referring in general or a specific event.

WPF guys left the UPC because of their stance on TV, weather for entertainment or another tool to use for the gospel. The irony is the leaders of the WPF were acid against it, now there services that there organization sponsors has live streaming on YouTube or FaceBook. A preacher down in Louisiana has been a hot topic on social media since last spring.

No, they left because the UPC kept voting until the TV movement got their way.
They had been told (at least twice) by the leadership that this was the last time it would be voted on.
But, it kept coming up again and again.
Until it passed.
Ironically, many of the "young guns" who voted for it, also left.
Insofar as TV goes, "remove not the ancient landmark".
Most of the "Church" today is so far into entertainment that this topic is not even thought of.
We have truly become the church that worships a God that we do not pray to.
Come quickly Lord Jesus.

I’m not sure this is true. You can turn off a television. You can change channels on a television.

You can turn off YouTube. You can change channels on YouTube.

They are at least first cousins.

One difference is that preachers have not preached against YouTube for fifty years. I think that may be the main difference.

Who is?

It is debatable whether television qualifies as an ancient landmark, but if it does, radio certainly qualifies as a more ancient landmark.

I said something to my grandmother about the evils of television and how the preachers preached against it many years ago. She told me that they used to preach against radio like they do now about television. The implication being that they would eventually cease preaching against television.

Time has proven her point to a large extent. Obviously some still preach against television, but it is surely becoming more and more rare. It may well go extinct, much like preachers preaching against radio. The path seems to be similar.

They went from preaching against radio, to preaching on the radio.

They went from preaching against the internet, to preaching on the internet.

They went from preaching against Facebook, to having a Facebook account, and preaching on Facebook.

They went from preaching against television?? . . .

Say what you want, but I think I see a trend developing here.
