Furthermore, because of the display of all these evils on television, we disaprove of any of our people having television sets in their homes." Each UPCI minister agrees to this yearly. So the real problem lies with UPCI ministers that sign saying they agree when they don't. This makes them liars. WPF'ers don't agree with the new advertising stand and rather than become liars they are leaving.

It sounds like some of you need to pick apart the UPCI stand against TV instead of the WPF.

Right, WPF membership - full of integrity and always live by the letter of the manual... UPC membership have become "Liars".



Now to prove it.... hmmm.



PS the smiley is watching the show on the INTERNET... Is he WPF or UPC?

The thread asks for an explantion. I am trying to do that. If you sign something that says you agree when you really don't what does that make you----a fibber?

I no nothing about the integrity of the WPF.

im agin it!!!!!. I preach it teach it even tho no one in my church has one. I will own up that it is my weakness so it must be everyone elses as well.

I cant help it when i go to walmarts my flesh seems to take me right to the tv department.

i was in a motel 6 the other day and when i walked in i saw the devils eye over in the corner.
I threw a blanket over it.

After 2 hours it got so hot i had to come out from under that blanket.

I guess the point is, while statements and AOF mean something, people will always understand them, and adhere to them on different levels... not to mention, the progression of technology demands a review in this case.

In my opinion, it is far worse to judge others for technology which we all use in other forms, than to be a bit lax on a rigid interpretation of "The Manual".

The WPF has simply delayed dealing with this for a few years. To be consistant they need to do away with any allowances of the internet.

The problem still remains that men sign every year stating they are against TV. The UPCI is very plain in their statement and all know what it means when they sign. The UPCI has also adopted a position on computers and the internet with which the WPF'ers agree. Why should we castigate this small group that are following their convictions by thinking that TV is still the greater force of evil in our society. Social scientists even agree with their position.

And the men that preach these things stayed with the UPCI. But WE are talking about the Explanation for WPF. These men see TV as the greatest purveyor of evil in our day. This is a position that still aligns itself with the AoF.
