Apostolic Technology POLL!

[MawMaw]

My and my husband's sources of technology are,

XM radio, regular cell phones with unlimited calling/texting,
and stinky dial up internet.

(we could get newspapers online, but, we still prefer
reading a good ol' paper newspaper)

I know a man who still has dial-up... I asked him why he doesn't upgrade & he says it is a sure-fire means to ensure he never gets hooked on it. I've thought about this often, but Roku wouldn't like it

We simply try to not watch the news, or read about it, for about 3years now... they rarely have anything real or positive & we get to hear the headlines everyday from granny regardless

He and another group of men meet at the barber
shop regularly to solve the problems of the town,
yay I say, the world!!

If I will say anything, I think the Internet has hurt the Apostolic/UPC,there is so much info out there now that people question because it is being searched for on the Internet. Before the Internet no one could question anything in the ranks cause they had no idea and could not interpret scripture, now with the wealth of knowledge out there questions are being asked..

I disagree. What makes you think that?

Things that once happened in the dark are now being brought to the light.

Spiritual abuse being one that has been brought to the light.

Well we can start on the Whole Women not cutting hair issue.. before the internet if you questioned it, your Pastor would tell you go read 1Corthians 11:5 and 11:6 and thats it no more questions cause you thought those verses meant not to cut your hair by reading the "Shaving or Shorn" and not knowing what it means? With the internet you can Google this info and come up with the correct interpretation for this verse? Same thing with the women dress verses and what they are truly talking about. I would get on the verses for the Men in the Apostolic/UPC.,but I cannot seem to find them anywhere all the scriptures for the Apostolic/UPC identity all refer to the women.

1 Corinthians 11
King James Version (KJV)

11 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
