Quote:
Inasmuch as there are video cassettes offered to the public free at libraries, and [since for a nominal cost video cassettes] are available at rental agencies and video stores consisting of every kind of film including those X-rated, which are the most corrupt, debased, depraved "imagination" of men's hearts which are on[ly] evil continually; [and since] video games of all kind are likewise available; [and since] most video sets are equipped with receivers which can show and tape the television channels,
Be it therefore resolved that the use of video be strictly limited to those areas in which motion picture cameras and projectors are traditionally permitted to be used; namely, in taking of pictures of families, friends, and church activities, and the viewing of educational, religious, or inspirational films which are consistent with wholesome Christian principles.

If a man's heart is "
only evil continually," what is the purpose of this resolution? There's really no need for a "video" (U-Matic, Betamax or VHS) when one has a continual screed of evil perversion going on in one's head "continually." Just play that "tape" and imagine the carnage and lust.
But I guess that's what the writers and supporters of the resolution were doing.
