Whatever happened to "Go ye into all the world..."?
Obviously, folks want the easy way out.

Somehow I knew someone would make a comment like this. We are talking about a 30 sec ad here with our pastor giving a warm welcome. That is all.

Ah yes, the logic of the anti-tv'ers.

NI - when you say "We've been very successful without it," are you meaning your own church or as a whole? Because if you're meaning as a whole, you're incorrect. Probably 60% of UPC churches run less than 500; from that another 75% of those are less than 200.

In my home state, the largest UPC church runs close to 250 (I believe). Now, there's my former church which will tell you they run 200+ members - but they include "members" who haven't darkened the doors of the church for years or who come only for special events. The church I attend (UPC) was started last fall and is running between 100 and 110 on Sundays. Our highest attendence was 146.

The UPC has ~not~ (as a whole) been very successful in evangelism. One or two churches here or there perhaps, but not as a whole.

You people amaze me.You have no biblical scripture to back this belief up.No biblical truth at all, nothing.I have asked for scripture three times.No one can even defend this junk.

When TV first started some preachers got together and said it was the devils tool and you just keep handing that belief down.Study to show thyself approved.

If you believe TV is a sin.Please very carefully unplug your computer and take it out to the trash can.There is more filth on the internet than you will ever find on a TV.

They're pretending to have filters and block out all the bad stuff on the internet . . . but the television doesn't have filters. Of course, they could just use the filter of the HOLY GHOST, but that'd be just too logical!

Yeah, I know a guy who used the whole "internet is a library and I have filters" argument too. He was lying.

He ended up before his District Board because of things he was doing on the internet.

Funny thing is he still claims the internet is great and tv is evil.

I agree my friend, the Holy Ghost filter should work for the internet and TV.
