But, it kept coming up again and again.
Until it passed.
Ironically, many of the "young guns" who voted for it, also left.
Insofar as TV goes, "remove not the ancient landmark".
Most of the "Church" today is so far into entertainment that this topic is not even thought of.
We have truly become the church that worships a God that we do not pray to.
Come quickly Lord Jesus.

It is debatable whether television qualifies as an ancient landmark, but if it does, radio certainly qualifies as a more ancient landmark.
I said something to my grandmother about the evils of television and how the preachers preached against it many years ago. She told me that they used to preach against radio like they do now about television. The implication being that they would eventually cease preaching against television.
Time has proven her point to a large extent. Obviously some still preach against television, but it is surely becoming more and more rare. It may well go extinct, much like preachers preaching against radio. The path seems to be similar.
They went from preaching against radio, to preaching on the radio.
They went from preaching against the internet, to preaching on the internet.
They went from preaching against Facebook, to having a Facebook account, and preaching on Facebook.
They went from preaching against television?? . . .
Say what you want, but I think I see a trend developing here.
