If I live near a cliff. Do I get as close to the edge as I can, or do I back away a little for safty reasons. Not that it is wrong to go to the edge, but what is safer.

Yes, but what good is setting the boundary 10 feet from the cliff if you only set it there so you can actually pass it a little bit??
Why not just train yourself to have the self-control to actually follow the rules you set for yourself so you can actually make boundaries you respect and follow?

"Do you have internet access to ABC.com and other major networks who now 'air' the same programming via the internet?"
WARNING: If you answer yep to either of these questions you may not be as holy as you thought you were 30 minutes ago.......  |

Yup...anybody with a pooter can come home sunday night and watch Desperate Houswives..in fact you can watch iot anytime you want. I beleive the same is true for NBC and FOX too.
W must rid our churches of these computetr screens we've allowed into our homes...they are the slippery slope.

I suppose everyone who violates any of the "stongly disapproved of" issues needs to do the same? That would leave about two people from Kansas left in the UPC.

There is a GREAT difference between the "strongly disapproved of issues" and the specific prohibition against a minister owning a television. Any minister who is licensed with the UPCI and has a television IS a liar, and SHOULD either get rid of his TV or get out. That is not a "simpleton statement." It is a matter of fact.

Lets try again....
You say you don't have anything to play them on....I take this to mean you are proud of the fact that you do not own a "TV/Monitor" or a DVD/VCR player...
But what about the computer you are using to be on this forum with? I don't know the exact dates but I do know that the oldest computer we own..which is at least 7 years old...already has the technology to play and burn DVDs...
How old is your computer...if it was purchased in the last 5 years I can promise you that you have something to play those home movies on...matter of fact, you can play any DVD to be rented at Blockbuster on that computer...unless you have removed you media player software...
Did you?
Secondly, most (if not all) major networks archive the latest shows on their respective websites (ABC.com for instance has the latest episodes of lost and desperate housewives right now)...so if you are on the Internet...you have TV!!!!
What say ye?
Can you see the issue here?---You claim to have this profound holiness that has taken opportunities forvideo and TV out of your home...yet you have computers and internet access which give you the SAME opportunities! I don't get the double standard.
How do you rationalize this information to allow the one while you brag about disallowing the other?

May shock you........but i agree.....if it's the agreed upon lifestyle, then why live inconsistent with what is the rule....

But take heart...the manual does not say, "Alter the computer so as not to be able to watch the archived programs on the Network websites"...so you can still catch the good shows, most of the time within 24 hours of the original broadcast!
And, you can hook the computer up to the "neutered HD TV/now a monitor" and get it on the big screen......
