All this trouble over a box with some wires and glass in it.
If T.V. only aired shows that were made by UPCI, would it no longer be a "sin" to have one?
If this is the case, then the T.V. itself is fine, but the content is not. By this reasoning, we should be preaching against books stores. The store itself is ok, but the content is both good and bad. Add to that list radio (t.v. without the pictures), newspapers, internet, ..... school ...... life ......
I think it's a shame to split over such a trivial thing. But, I suppose a split would lessen the dissension between the people on both sides. If you don't fellowship with them, you can't fight with them right? Outta sight, outta mind, imo, really only works in non-Christian situations. The problem still remains, we just don't address it.
