Now there is a valid point!

Some of them might even grow from it and really have enlarged egos.

I also know people that consider anybody who takes a strong stand, has an opinion and conviction and holds to it as an ego-maniac.

We should limit all churches to 25 members, forbid radio and internet too, so their egos don't grow any bigger

You failed to connect your point with your conclusion. WHY would the fact that all the UPCers you know have TV mean we don't need a resolution to advertise on TV?

OK, Prax......Here is an analogy: It would be like saying, We all need to vote on a resolution to see if we can advertise on the Wal-Mart Channel... Most of us are already going to Wal-Mart several hours everyday and we see the advertisements, but we need to vote on whether we can be a part of the advertisement...(We don't want to admit that we are even a patron of Wal-Mart....Some of our leaders have even signed statements not to partake of Wal-Mart.). Maybe that's not the best analogy, but I know what I mean and I think most others so, too.

I meant no harm to anyone. Sorry if I offended, but that's my view from this neck of the woods.

God bless and Signing Off.
