Seems plain and straightforward.

Alas, I have to face the day.

Yes, many things in the manual are plain. Just to point this out...the manual also states that UPC folks are not supposed to bear arms in war. Unfortunately things are ignored or swept under the rug sometimes. But, I will admit that in UPC culture, that TV is less acceptable than bearing arms in war.

He means that the issue of having the tv and the conflict over it has more to do with honesty than holiness.

You sing the AS, you should abide by it.

Honesty is part of holiness ...

this is the problem ... 1950 standards have now BECOME God's holiness ....

moot point for those chiming in here- they are not in a UPC church so have no such rules.

It's not a moot point. UPC pastors and ministers have to go by UPC rules.

I do not know of any preacher taking up the cause of war that I have ever read about. Your point is lost here.
