Moving "forward"?????
Hopefully this hasn't been discussed. I am almost thru with the Forward. A buddy of mine gave me his copy and I have had a hard time putting it down.
I wasn't to impressed with the layout. It was all the articles FOR changes then the one long article AGAINST. I wish they would have gone back and forth. Also the FOR stance was divided into separate essay's while the AGAINST was one long huge compilation. It was harder to read IMO.
The FOR side was very thorough in thier statistics. I thought they were represented well although it seemed they all just said the same thing over and over. But they stuck to thier guns.
The AGAINST side played many cards of which some were concerning. They said:
"If a still picture and the name of the church and pastor were flashed on the screen, and it would all stop at this point, there might be little opposition."
"The UPCI's stated position on this matterhas greatly helped ouor pastors as they taught their people to refrain from owning a television"
"Communicating the apostolic distinctives of Jesus Name Baptism, the essentiality of the H.G. and holiness are the only motivation for a television ministry. Would those distinctives attract an audience? Probably not. They are too theological, biblical, doctrinal."
"(They) are assuming we will continue embracing Internet usage......."
any thoughts?
