Yes. Remove TV from the "guide"....replace it with an official "UPCI TV guide for Dummies...what to watch and not watch" by David Bernard

The TV thing has always perplexed me. It seems to me the UC view simply breeds immature christians who cannot think for themselves and either blindly follow or eventually reject sound doctrine when they wake up and recognize some preachers conviction being preached as doctrine.
Niether of those is a good thing. It just leads to either lost or shallow folk.
Why not teach Christian maturity and desernment and prayer life, and following the leading of the spirit? you dont have to name anything. but if you have a church well taught in those things, they will be forced by their own walk with God and His leading, to turn off bad programing, or get rid of TV on their own.
but this idea of a ban on the thing, just teaches people nothing and when they run into something else (internet) they have no self control because they are immature.
This kind of silliness is the root problem in all of Oneness Pentecost and it causes vastly too many good people to abandon sound doctrine. AFF is full of good folk who walked away from sound doctrine over nonsensical personal convictions being tought as doctrine.

Ferd, I'm not quite sure what is happening today, but I am finding that I'm agreeing with you!!!!!!! This should not be! Where's the drama in that????
