It aggravates me to no end, when people sit here and continue to argue about UPCI and television, and then say that internet is ok. I don't have a problem with either. I'm a music minister, and I have internet and Charter!
Furthermore, I do believe when DBK updates the UPCI church manual in the next few years that the Television Issue will be removed.

Thoughts...??
Other than the same content is on both, how do you compare the two to be the same?

I don't attend church at all anymore. I left the UPC 6 years ago. But, I have internet and not TV. Here are my arguments. First off, I don't think the legalistic UPC stance is healthy. I watch all the videos I want without commercials and there are lots of shows on the internet. TV is noisy and I don't like that. I don't like commercials. With the internet, I pick and choose and don't have shows spoon fed to me. I watch TV in hotels and get my fill there. Will I never have a TV? Never say never, but I don't even think about it usually. I don't feel deprived. I would feel invaded if I had a TV in my house. I am just used to it this way. My very liberal sister (I mean vegetarian, environmentalist type) doesn't have a TV either.

Good argument from a non UPC stance. There are many logical arguments for not having a cable/satellite TV in my opinion. (one of them is my wallet).
On a moral issue I think the heart is in the bolded of your post. The same content is on both and while the internet has it readily accessible, you pick and choose whether you indulge in poison or flowers. The UPC is consistent in that it strongly advises filters for the internet. They are not necessarily completely hypocritical on it.

I do think there more control with internet as far as watching shows. You can buy whole series without commercials, which sometimes commercials are worse then the shows on TV.

That pretty much sums up what I think too!

So, two wrongs do make a right?
