I am left to assume that you are PRO online activity and CON TV activity (and consistency will just have to sit on the sidelines ).

So Thad, in your opinion, is this recent (15 years) chronic strife and contention really about TV? Do you think it could be just the poster-child for member-minister's seeking more latitudes (liberties) to self-determination?

Years ago you could tell people not to have a TV in their home and people would abide. Now, i think that technology has out flanked everybody.

Certainly technology convergence will do its part to move this issue down the road of irrelevance in principle, but all the more opportunistic to raise the charge of "hypocrite!".

OK, Thad, I will stop asking. Apparently for you, this issue really is all about TV.

For me, I see it as just the current flash point in an organization of men that has many voices who have found value and purpose in "defining their differences" in a very public way.

Yah, not so much. Where do you get the idea that preachers are what save you?

Are you misinterpreting scripture: "...foolishness of preaching men would be saved?" Because it's speaking of an act - preaching . . . not a person.

The Grace, Mercy and Love of God is what's going to save me . . . not a preacher.

While I disagreed strongly with the article, it is encumbent upon you to prove your false accusation that I bashed Bro Wright.
I certainly did no such thing.

JRoc, where did you get that pic of the camp? I've wanted one like that and can't seem to find it anywhere. It would make an excellent background for my desktop.

Years ago I knew saints that had TVs in the bedrooms so nobody from church would see it when they came over. Or they hid them in the closet.
