Why am I not surprised?

I do not think that the very cons will balk at that

It's not balking. It's standing against a device they and their predecessors stood against for many, many years. There's no consistency in preaching AGAINST TV and turning around and using it as a tool to "witness" (for lack of a better word). Imagine how confusing it might be when some is born again, gets in the church and realizes the UPC they've just become a member of preaches against the device that lured them there. They'll be like ??

I do think that the lost has to be reached by any means.

Have at it, my friend. There are situations and methods I will NOT use to witness to some. Period. What will winning a soul and losing mine gain me?

Look at what Matt Maddix has done in FL. with the bootcamps. Any means.

Bro. Maddix does use any means that I can see. He simply uses the Apostolic method with the bootcamp -- personal evangelism.

I do not mean that they would remove them because of flippant things. What I am talking about is if they start preaching something out of the Bible. But, yes it would hard to regulate that but look at it this way if they were on TV doing this at least there would be video proof of preaching outside the Bible.

I'm not talking doctrine. I'm talking standards that the manual demands. There are UPC churches in this country that should be plain ol' shut down because of disobedience to the manual of the UPC. But, they continue on. You think they're going to shut them down over TV advertising methods? Good luck!
