Problem with the scenario, my dad does not now, nor has he ever had TV. Now, he does have a TV set that is used to play videos, but it has no capability of receiving a TV signal. So, perhaps this man could have seen this and misinterpreted it.
Except... this man had NEVER been in my parents home. So, moral of the story, who knows how many people this "man of God" told his fiction to, that did not know my dad and have the courage to ask him to his face about it. Stands to reason that this story could have turned into a "widely known fact", and may well have as far as I know.
Oh, and BTW, my dad was in the anti-TV res. crowd.

Listen, this can be debated all night. One personal example versus another. My pastor knows ministers that aren't so secretive about their insistence on having television though. Those that deny it, I'll take their word.
