I was just turning the tables of the thread title!

Charismatics and cult leaders can both have UPCI roots!

Well, now that the UPC has accepted tv (advertising at first but then on down the slippery slope), some might consider the whole UPC (the liberals who remain after the holy ones leave) to be going, going, gone charismatic.

My wife thinks I'm going charismatic just for having fun on the AFF. LOL!

[RevBuddy]

Well...if you insist on having fun here, then, YES...you are as charismatic as they come...

We are ALL charismatic compared to our Apostolic predecessors!

1. We use those charismatic PA systems.
2. We use charismatic indoor baptismals.
3. We use charismatic overhead projectors.

See, there you go again, Pianoman...using your own private interpretation of "charismatic."

Not going there, not prudent...

No REAL 'postolic would
speak or sing into a microphone
baptize indoors
have a toilet indoors
sing songs off the wall or off a screen
use electrically amplified instruments
shave
eat store bought bread
drink commercially bottled wine for communion
have a radio or tv program or web page
wear a neck tie
wear a suit coat
etc
etc
and other stuff that would be "leaving the old landmarks"

I agree! Everyone knows that the reason the internet is okay for Apostolics while TV is not is because the internet is used primarily for EDUCATIONAL purposes not ENTERTAINMENT purposes. If you are here for entertainment instead of to learn, learn, learn about Jesus, you need to disconnect ASAP!

Speaking of tv,
here is an article which is in the latest Pentecostal Evangel:

Family Hour now filthy, Watchdog group says

Television's family hour is becoming increasingly hostile to family values, according to a recent report by the Parents Television Council.

Children watching television during the first hour of primetime, once dubbed the family hour, now encounter violence, profanity or sexual content every 3.5 minutes of noncommercial airtime.

Almost 90 percent of the 208 television shows reviewed during the 2006-07 study period contained objectionable content, with Fox the worst broadcast network offender, the report says.

Tim Winter, president of the PTC, says the family hour was once lauded by the entertainment industry and members of Congress as a solution for parents seeking wholesome entertainment for at least one hour each night. Today, most programs being aired during that time are filled with graphic content.

"Shockingly, this data shows that parents cannot trust what is on the so-called family hour for even a minute," Winter says.
