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.

That phrase has been taken out of context so much that it is almost insulting. I'm glad some people broke traditions "landmarks" with Scripture, starting from own our Lord Jesus Christ and the Pharisees "landmarks" (they called it "fences", coincidental?), and continuing with the early centuries movements, then the reformation period, and then the oneness pentecostal movement later on in the USA. That happens when the veneration for previous generations goes above the veneration for God and his Word.
BTW, I don't own TV, and refuse to own one, but have many Christian friends that do have it. I don't preach against having a TV screen, but I do preach against watching worldly entertaining regardless of the media, and I do warn also about even OK things showing in between extremely nasty and worldly ads.
