They look for every single loophole!!
Just listen to yourself....."Yes, my religious system calls TV an Instrument of Satan, BUT HEY!!!! They didn't forbid me to own one!!!"
Good grief. That's sad.

Wow. You really don't have a clue what the difference is do you?
Disapprove
to have an unfavorable opinion;
express disapproval (usually followed by of ).
Forbid
1.to command (a person) not to do something, have something, etc., or not to enter some place: to forbid him entry to
the house.
2.to prohibit (something); make a rule or law against: to forbid the use of lipstick; to forbid smoking.
BTW I never claimed anything as "my religious system". I never once said I agreed with the UPC on everything it teaches or any other religious system. I am not a licensed minister of the UPCI. I never have been
They can't forbid me to do anything. Im not a member of the UPC. I attend a local UPC. There is no requirement for attendance that mandates not owning a TV
Now how am I a legalist?
Legalist don't look for loopholes.
I suggest you don't have a clue what the word means.
A Legalist is someone that seeks salvation by good works
Further more
strict adherence, or
the principle of strict adherence, to law or prescription, especially to the letter rather than the spirit.
If that is the case then first of all the AOF "we disapprove" is not a law but an opinion and even if it were a law it seems there are many here that don't hold to the letter of that law but the spirit and are not legalists.
LOL!
