Resolution #4: What it's NOT About!!!!!!!!
There has been much written form both sides of the TV issue trying to explain their fears and concerns if the vote doesn't go their way.
In fact, most that has been written doesn't deal with the REAL issue!
It is with that thought in mind that I wish to list what #4 is NOT about:
1. It is NOT about whether TV is better or worse than the internet! Those that are trying to justify the internet vs. TV are wasting their time! Statistics are not on your side of the argument!
2. It is NOT about the costs of advertising on TV! Most will not advertise even though it can be done sometimes for free!
3. It is NOT about how effective TV advertising would be in winning souls! Has there been due diligence done as to how effective radio, newspaper, billboard, and other media is per time and money spent? I don't think so!!
It's ALL about control!! It's about whether the UPCI organization should control how a member pastor chooses to evangelize and advertise their own church!
If you want to control how other pastors evangelize, vote "NO"!
If you want to give freedom to individual pastors as to how they want to evangelize the Apostolic message, vote "YES"! This doesn't mean you necessarily endorse what others are doing, as you still control what your individual church does.
It's about controlling the destiny of the organization. Does the UPCI become even more rules regulated, or does it open up for tolerance of differences of opinion that are non-doctrinal?
